P12 Flashcards
permannent magnets
made from mag material(iron)
always causes a force o other msgnets
produces own mag field
mag field cannot be turned off
bar magnets and horchoe magnets examples
induced magnets
only becomes a magnet in a magnetic field
induced magnetism is quickly lost when magnet remved from the field
iron filings
shape and direction of magnetic field bar magnets
mag fields line never cross each other
closer lines=syronger mag field
have arrows to show direction of force exerted on magnetic north
arrows point from north pole to south pole
how behaviour of msgnetic compass shpowsnthat the earth core is magnetic
suggests has a magnetic field and a magnetic core made from iron and nickel
mag field aeround wire (current)
-when current flows in a wire, creates mag field around the wire
-strength of field is greater closer to the wire and increases if the current increases
direction of current and mag field with right hand rule
coil fingers of right hand
with thumb pointing away frim hand
thumb=current
finger-direction of mag field
how inside a solenoid the field from individual coils
sum to form very strong almost uniform field along the centre of the solenoid
cancel to give a weakerf ield outside the solenoid
is a wire coiled up into spiral shape
whe current flows, solenoid acts as an electromagnet
shape iof mag field very saimilar to one of a mag
fiedl=strong and unifrom
small mag fields in each coil add to be a stronger overall mag field
outside, the smaller mag fields from each wire cancel each orther out and outside fiekd is much weaker
electromagnets used in
door locks that can be controlled remotely and electric bells
what does a current carrying conductor placed near a magnet experience
a force and an equal and opposite force acts on the magnet
what are magnetic forces due to
interactions between magnetic fields
fkemings’s left hand rule
hold thumb, forefinger and second finger at right angle to each other
forefinger-mag fields from north to sputh
2nd finger-current from pos to neg
thumb-direction of motor effect force on the conductor carrying the current
equation for force on a conductor at right angles to a magnetic field carrying a current
=magnetic flux density (tesla)(mewton per ampere metre) x current(a) x length (m)
how force on a conductor in a mag field is used to cause rotatiom in electrical motors
mag field interacts with a 2nd mag field causing a force to be exerted
forces acting on a coil of wire in a mag field will cuase it to rotate
this rotation is used inside an electric motor
