Magnetic Fields Flashcards
Lenz’s Law
Direction of induced emf/current is such as to oppose the change in flux producing it
Faraday’s Law
Induced emf in a circuit is = to the rate of change of flux linkage through the circuit
Magnetic Field Line
Direction a north pole would experience a force in the field around a magnet or a current carrying wire
Tesla
Magnetic flux Density when 1A is flowing in 1m length of wire perpendicular to magnetic field lines and experiences 1N of force
Flux
Number of flux lines
phi
Wb
Flux Linkage
Number of flux lines that the coil is cutting through/ Number of flux lines x Turns on the coil
Nphi
Wb Turns
Flux Density
Magnetic Field Strength/Flux lines per square metre
B
Tesla, Wbm^-2, Nm^-1A-1
Rms I/V
Equal to the steady DC I/V that dissipates energy in the same rate at the same resistance
