RT 205 Electromagnetism II Flashcards

1
Q

Faraday’s Law: Methods to induce a current:

  1. Moving a permanent magnet into and out of a coil of wire also induced a current in the wire while the magnet was in motion.
  2. Moving a conductor near a stationary permanent magnet caused a current to flow in the wire, too, as it was moving.
  3. Made it possible to determine the direction of the induced current flow.

Q

Four factors of Faraday’s Law: The magnitude of the induced current depends on four factors.

A
  1. The strength of the magnetic field
  2. The velocity of the magnetic field as it moves past the conductor
  3. The angle of the conductor to magnetic field (lines of flux)
  4. The number of turns in the conductor
