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
