Q

A magnetic field is produced when a current moves through a wire .
-If we plce this wire in another magnetic field .

A

-The magnetic field around the wire now interas with the magnetic field between the magnes .
-NOw the wire increases a force , in his case force is in the upward direciton . #
-This causeses the wire to move upwads . Scientists clal this the MOTOR EFECT .

Q

On sheet —>
The wire below a magneric field .

A

-If we move the wire up through the magnetic field , than a potential difference is induced across the energy of the wire .
-However , if the wire stops moving ,t hen the podential difference stops .

-If we move the wire BACK DOWN , thorugh the magnetic ield we get POTENTIAL DIFEFERENCE AGAIN .
-However the POTENITAL DIFFERENCE IS IN REVERSED IRECTION - scientists call this potnentioal difference the INDUCED POTENTIL .

–OIf we have a complete circuit ,we hace induced CURRENT , Scientists call this the generator .

WHEN WE PULL THE NORTH POLE OUT

A

A

-A dynamo produces direct current .
-Key feautre of dynamo is that it has a split-ring commutator .
-The split ring commutator has TWO SIDES spearated by a GAP .
-Call the sides A+B .
(side of the coil that is movign down is connected to PART a of the pslit ring commuaotr .
-Side of the coil moving up is connected to side B of the split ring commutator .)

Q

What does star two on the dynamo graph show ?-

A

As the coil is cuttign thruogh the magnetic field lines ,a potnetial difference +current is induced.

28
Q

WHat does star three on the dnmo graph show ?

A

-When the coil is verticl , p.d is zero as it is moving parallel to the magnetic ield so p.d = 0.

29
Q

What doe star three show on the dynamo graph ?

A

-Now the coil moved around - the yellow isde is up and the green side is movingn down .
HOWEVER - the side of the ocil mvoign doen is still connected to PART A of the split ring commutator .
-The side movign up is sitl connected o prt B .
-BECAUSE OF THIS - the direcion of the p.d and the current DOES NOT REVERSE , when the coil roates , In other words there is a (DC) .

30
Q

how the generator effect is used in a moving coil microphone

A

-Inside of a moving coil microphone is simialr to a moving coil loud speaker.

31
Q

part one of the microhpone

A

coiol of wire is attached to a thin sheet of plastic .
-Scientists call this thin sheet of plastic diaphragm .
-The end o the coil o wire sits oevr a permanent magnet ..

32
Q

P2 of a microphone

A

When soundwaves hit the diaphragm , they cause it to vibrate .
-Now the coil of the wire moves in and out through the magnetic field .
-This induces a potential difference across the ends of the wire .

33
Q

microphone graph

A

-The graph of the potential difference of the microphone , shows that ithe p.d switches directiona s the coil moves fowards and backwards thourh the magnetic field .
-The fequency f the changing p.d is the same as the frequency of the osundaves .
The changing patter of p.d is now passed thorugh an amplifier and then into moving coil - loudpseaker . Massively increasing the volume of the osund .

34
Q

Remind yourself of the motor effect 0 the mtoor effect is also used in a loudpspeaker and headphones

A

on sheet , shows a moving coil aapeaker and head also found a simialr set up in headphones .

35
Q

star one of the loudspeaker

A

-we have a cone which ahs a coikl of wire wrapped aorund one end

36
Q

star two of the loudspeaker

A

-the coil of wire is conected to an alternating current electricl supply .

37
Q

str three of the lodspeaker

A

we also have a permanent magnet which goes inside the coil of wire.

38
Q

Stage one of loudpeaker

A

as the current passes thorugh the coil , it generates a magentic ifeld .

39
Q

stage two of loudspeakert

A

the magnetic field fromt he coil , now interacts witht he magnetic field rom the permanent magent .
-AKA these magnetic fields either attract or repel eachother .

40
Q

stage three of loudspeakers

A

this produces a resultant force , which causes hte cone to mvoe .

41
Q

stage four

A

when the current switched direction , the direction of the force on the cone is reversed .
-This causes the cone to move in and out generating osundaves .

42
Q

By changing the frequency of the AC supply , we can chnage the frequency that the cone vibrates.

A

A HIGHER frequency will porduce a HIGHER PTICH sound .
-Lower frequency will produce a LOWER PITCH SOUND .

43
Q

if we increase he siize of the current

A

then we increase the AMPLITUDE of the vibrtion .
-Increasing then the volume of the osund

44
Q

A transfromer consists o two coils

A

-ont he elft we have priamry coil check sheet , on the right we have secondary coil .
-these coils are COMPELTELY SEPEARE .
-Thee is NO WAY one electric current can pass directlyf rom one coil to another .
-these coils are wrapped aound an IRON CORE , we use iron as i is EASILY MAGNETISED .

45
Q

sTAGE ONE OF TRansformer

A

-the primary coil is connected to an alternating current .

46
Q

tage two of transformer

A

-as the current flows through primary coil , it creates a chanig magnetic field .

47
Q

stage three of a transformer

A

-this magnwtic field is transmitted along the iron core and passes through the secondary coil .

48
Q

stage four of a transformer

A

when the changing magnetic ifeld passes through the secondary coil , it induced a potential difference .

49
Q

KEY - the iron core INCREASES THE STRENGTH

A

OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD .

50
Q

One KEY thing about transformers

A

They only work with ALTERNATING CURRENT (AC) .
-As we need a changug magnetic field to increase a potential difference .

51
Q

A DIRECT CURRENT pordcued a consistnetn MAGNETIC FIELD and therefore does work in transformers .

A

…

52
Q

If a transformer if the priamry and secondary coils both have the SAME NUMBER of turns

A

-It means the potneital difference int he secondaryc oil is the same as the potential difference of the praryc oil .
-however this is hte onlt case if the transforemers had 100% ENEGRY efficency 0 no energy is wased in the transformer .

53
Q

However , in practice - transfromers are not 100%
-usually more turns in secondaryc oil than in primry coil

A

Menaing there is a greater p.d induced in the secondaru coil , thn the p.d of the primaryc oil . This sthype of trnsfoerm is STEP UP transfomrer 0 as it STEPS UP THE potential difference )

54
Q

if you have twice the number of coils in secondary coil than primry coil , so the potnentl difference int he seocndary coil is x2 the potenital difference of priamry coil .

A

…

55
Q

What about the coils in a STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER

A

-A STEP DOWN transformer , ahs fewer coils in the secondary coils compared to the primary coils .
-ins tep down transfoemr the p.d in the secondary coil is LESS than the p.d in the primary coil ( inthis exmpale secodnary coil has hald the number of coils as the priamry coil , so the p.d is hlf the priamry coils .)

56
Q

If we know the p.d in the primary coil and the number of coils in the primary and secondary coils . We can calculate the p.d int he secondary coil .

A

check sheet for equationa nd do questio .

57
Q

how can we tell fromt he answer thart it is a step down transformer .

A

as 192V has stepped down to 45

58
Q

One very important idea in transformers is power must be conserved .

A

power of primary coil = power of secondary coil .

59
Q

Check sheet for equation to calcualtre power which is by multiplying p.d and current .

A

…
-Only true if the appliacne is 100 efficent .

60
Q

Do question

A

…

61
Q

How transformers are used in power transmission s1

A

-Electrical power is transmitted from powersations to homes through HIGHVOLTAGE CABLES .
power=current*p.d
-So if we want to transmit a large amount of POWER we can either use a LARGE current or a LARGE voltge .

62
Q

Problem with power transmission

A

Power is WASTED in the transmission cables as heat .
-The amount of power wasted as heat depends of the SQAURE OF THE CURRENT .
-If we use a LARGE current in the transmission cables ; a huge amount of power would be wasted as heat .

63
Q

SOLUTION for power transmission

A

instead of using a large current we use a large p.d

64
Q

How transformers are used in power transmission s2

A

The electricity from the powerstation is first passed thrugh a step up transfroemer .
-This steps up the p.d to around 400,000 V.
-The electrical power is then transmitted down HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES .

65
Q

How transformers are used in power transmission s3

A

It is then passed thorugh step-down transformers .
-The step down transformers reduce the p.d to around 230

66
Q

Summary

A

By using transformers , we massively reduce power wastage in the national grid .
