Quiz 4 Flashcards
Permeability
- susceptibility to magnetization
* how easy a substance becomes magnetized
Magnetism
•the ability to attract iron, cobalt, nickel
Retentivity
•how well it retains the magnetism
Ferromagnetic
- magnetic material (iron, cobalt, nickel) high permeability
- can become permanent magnets
- alnico is a type of this
- highly magnetized
Paramagnetic
- feebly attracted by magnet
- low permeability
- platinum
Diamagnetic
- feebly repelled by magnet
* beryllium & bismuth
Non magnetic (diamagnetic)
- no magnetic attraction
* wood, plastic, glass
Electromagnetic induction
•moving magnetic fields can produce electric current
Magnetism poles
•every magnet has 2 poles north seeking & south seeking
Magnetism (attraction)
•unlike poles
Electromagnetic induction (produced)
- when a conductor is cut by moving lines of flux
- conductor moves across stationary lines of flux
- produced only when magnetic field or conductor move
Generator
•a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
Magnetism (repulsion)
•like poles
Magnitude depends on..
- Speed-# of lines cut per sec. The more lines the higher emf
- Strength-# of lines per cm(square)
- Angle-the angle between conductor & direction of magnetic field, the closer to 90* the stronger emf
- Turns(coils)-# of turns in conductor EMF directly proportional to # of turns
If u have a coil of wire and u place an iron bar/ iron core in it, apply current you get?
•electromagnet
AC motors
- synchronous-steady speed good for clocks but not very powerful
- induction(squirrel cage)-stator/rotor
Transformer works off of what kind of induction
- mutual induction
* a current flowing through one will induce a current in the other
- increases voltage
* decreases amperage
•Step up
Generator (features)
- Magnetic field-permanent or electromagnet
- Armature-a coil of wire, around a core, rotated mechanically through magnetic fields
- Commutator (brushes)-slip rings
- Kinesis-mechanical energy to turn armature “crank,motor,windmill”
Most/least efficient transformer?
- shell core- 2 rectangular openings with coil in center submerged in oil
- air core-coil side by side
Transformer powerloss due to?
- diameter of wire
- length of conductor
- # of windings
- p=i(square)R
Lines of force (Flux)
- line of magnetic force surrounding magnet
* the more lines the stronger the magnet
Magnetic classification
- ferromagnetic
- paramagnetic
- diamagnetic
- Decreases voltage
* increases amperage
•step down
Magnetic induction
•Magnetic material brought near a magnet becomes temporary magnetized through induction
AC current flowing in a conductor induces a current in a adjacent conductor, not electrically connected.
•mutual induction
Commutator brushes
- slip rings
- usually carbon
- connected at the ends of coil
- rectifies AC to DC
Transformer input primary (coil supplied by
•AC
Dielectric constant
•A true
Useful wavelength for xray
.1-.5 Å
Does distance have anything to do with quality of xray
•no distance does no effect X-ray quality
Split rings are used by AC or DC generators?
•DC generators
