Q

explain why there is a resultnent force when a current carrying wire is incedent perpendicular between to 2 fixed magnets

A
  • because the current carring wire generats a magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of the conventinal current
  • this magnetic field is then parrelel to the magnetic field generated by the fixed magents
  • the magnetic field then adds where the flux lines are going in the same direction and minus were they are going in opposing directions
  • this then means there is a greater magnetic flux density above or below the wire depending on the direction of conventinal current
  • this means there is a resultent force ‘pushing’ the wire down or up depending on the direction of conventinal current

(note the reletive high magnetic flux density region also pushes the opposit way as well)

Q

why does a current carring wire experince a force when in a magnetic field (moleculer explenation)

A
  • there are charged particals (e-) moving within a current carring wire
  • since the current carrying wire is in a magnetic field the charged particals are also moving within a magnetic field
  • this induces a force on the charged particals (e-)
  • this force is then by extension experienced by the wire as a whole

Q

explain how a cyclitron works

A

see pg 143 for diagram
- charged particals are fired into one of the electrodes from the center of the cyclitron
- the magnetic field within the electrode induces a magnetic force that acts a centripetal acceeration thereofre making the particals follow a semi circular path
- as the charged particals leave the electrode an applied p.d between the electrodes accelerates the charged partical invreseasing its velocity
- because the particals speed is slightly high it follows a circular path with a slightly higher raduis within the other electrode
- as the chrages partical leaves the elecrode again the p.d is reversed accelerating the charged partical again before entering the next electrode
- this process repeats as the charged partical spirals outwards, increaseing in speed, before eventually exiting the cyclitron

Q

when dealing with alternators:

give the flux linkage equation

give the induced ε equation

give a extra equation for ε (this one is not on the silibis but can help)

A

NΦ=BANcos(θ)
but we are dealing with circular motion of the alternator so
ω=θ/t
θ=ωt
NΦ=BANcos(ωt)

ε=BANωsin(ωt)
(ε = rate of change of BANcos(ωt)) so i assume the extra ω came from diffrentiating BANcos(ωt))

distence =vt
ΔΦ=ΔBLvt
ε=NΔBLvt/Δt
ε=NBLv

A

electromagnetic induction, voltage, alternating current

43
Q

how does a tranformer work (simplistic version)

A
  • an alternating current flowing in the primary coil produces a changing magnetic flux (acting as a solinoid)
  • this changing magnetic flux (field) is then passed through the iron core of the transformer to the secondary coil
  • the secondary coil then experinces the changing magnetic flux linkage inducing an alternating voltage of the same frequency as the input voltage

(the magnetic flux is changing at the primary coil as the current is changing direction (AC))

44

give the induced ε equation for the primary and seconday coils

therefore combine these 2 equations and the 100% power efficiency ideal equation to give the equation for ideal transformers

48
Q

what are eddy currents

A
  • looping currents induced by the changing magnetic flux in the core. they create a magnetic field that acts against the field that produces them, reducing the overall field strenth.
