Magentism And Electronagentsuim Flashcards
Which bit of the magnetic are the forces the strongest
The poles
What’s the difference between a permanent magnet and a induced magnet
Permanent Produces its own magnetic field
Induced magnet becomes magnetic when place to the magnetic field
Examples of magnetic materials
Iron
Steel
Cobalt
What happens when an electrical conductor moves relative to magnetic field
A potential difference is induced
Two ways that generator effect is used to generate current
Alternator to produce alternating current
Dynamo to produce direct current
How do transformers work
AC flows through Primary coil
Induces a changing magnetic field in the core
This induces current to flow in secondary coil
What is an electromagnet
A solenoid with an iron core
In a step up the ……… coil has more turns and therefore higher PD
Secondary
If coils in transformers have same number of turns it’s
100% Effiecent no wasted energy
Only …… current can produce induced PD …. Because
Alternating
Needs to change direction of magnetic field
In dynamos PD is never
Negative because split ring commutators switch’s current
Magnetic fields run from
North to south
When wire in alternator is vertical pd is
0
Potential difference is only induced
When moving through magnetic field
Left hand rule
Thumb is force
Finger field
Finger current
