17
Q

What would you call a magnetic material if it looses its induced magnetism

A

soft or hard

18
Q

example of a soft and hard magnetic?

A

iron –> soft
Steel –> hard

19
Q

Why is iron used in transformers

A

its used because of its property, it can magnetize and demagnetize 50 times a second.

20
Q

how do I increase the strength of the magnetic field around a solenoid

A

adding a magnetically soft iron core through the middle of the coil

21
Q

Explain the motor effect

A

when a current carrying wire is put between magnetic poles, the two magnetic fields affect one another , this will result force on the wire. This will also cause the wire to move.

22
Q

will a wire experience a force if it runs along a magnetic field

A

no

23
Q

What’s a good way of showing the direction of the force

A

apply current to the set of rails inside of a horseshoe magnet, a bar is then placed on the rail which completes the circuit.

24
Q

magnitude?

A

magnetic strength

25
Q

what increases with the magnitude of the circuit.

A

the magnitude of the magnetic field, and the current passing through the conductor.

26
Q

what happens when you reverse the current or the magnetic field.

A

you reverse the direction of the magnetic force

27
Q

name the thumb, first finger and second finger in Fleming’s left-hand rule.

A

1) thu-M-b –> Motion
2) -F-irst finger –> Field
3) se-C-ond finger –> Current

28
Q

Dynamo effect.

A

electromagnetic induction to generate electricity using energy from kinetic energy stores is the dynamo effect.

29
Q

real life example of a the dynamo effect

A

turbine

30
Q

from the abbreviation EM Induction, what is EM Induction

A

Electromagnetic Induction

31
Q

Name two different occasions where you get EM Induction

A

1) Coil of wire moves through a magnetic field
2) The magnetic field through an electrical conductor changes

32
Q

Transformer

A

A transformer is a device that transfers electric energy from one alternating-current circuit to one or more other circuits, either increasing (stepping up) or reducing (stepping down) the voltage.

33
Q

how many coils do transformers have?

A

✌️, the primary and secondary joined with a soft iron core

34
Q

How do transformers work?

A

When alternating voltage is applied across the primary coil, the soft iron core magnetizes and demagnetizes quickly,. This induces an alternating voltage in the secondary coil.

35
Q

Induction in physics

A

The process of generating current in a conductor by placing it in a changing magnetic field is called induction.

36
Q

the ratio between primary and secondary voltages is the same as the ration between…

A

the number of turns on the primary and secondary coils

37
Q

difference between step up and step down transformers

A

step up increase the voltage, they have more turns on the secondary coil than the primary coil.
step down transformers decrease the voltage, they have more turns on the primary coil than the secondary coil.

38
Q

transformer equation?

A

Input (primary) voltage / Output (secondary) voltage

Number of turns on Primary / Number of turns on secondary

39
Q

Turns ratio

A

number of turns on the secondary coil /number of turn on the primary coil

40
Q

power supplied formula?

A

Power = Voltage X Current

41
Q

voltage, current formula?

A

primary voltage x primary current = secondary voltage x secondary current
aka
Vp Ip = Vs Is

42
Q

what are steep up and step down transformers used for

A

transmitting electricity across the country
