The Dynamo Effect Flashcards
1
Q
What are the two different ways in which you can get EM induction
A
An electrical conductor moves through a magnetic field
The magnetic field through an electrical conductor changes
2
Q
How can you test for the dynamo effect
A
Connect an ammeter to a conductor and move the conductor through a magnetic field
If the direction of movement is reversed, then so will the current, as shown by the ammeter
3
Q
How can you increase voltage
A
Increase the speed of movement, the number of turns on the coil, the strength of the magnet
4
Q
What is the dynamo effect
A
Using electromagnetic induction to generate electricity using energy from kinetic energy stores
