Electromagnetic Induction

1 / 9

10 Terms

1

Electromagnetic Induction

The process where a conductor moving through a magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF).

New cards
2

Motional EMF

The induced EMF in a conductor moving through a magnetic field, given by ε=BvL.

New cards
3

Magnetic Flux (Φ)

The total magnetic field moving through an area A at an angle, quantified as magnetic flux.

New cards
4

Faraday’s Law

The induced EMF in a circuit is equal to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.

New cards
5

Lenz’s Law

The direction of the induced EMF and current opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it, conserving energy.

New cards
6

Alternating Current (AC)

Current that changes direction periodically, produced by an AC generator through electromagnetic induction.

New cards
7

Root Mean Square (RMS) Values

Measure of equivalent steady DC values in an AC circuit, given by RMS = peak value / √2.

New cards
8

Transformer

Device changing AC voltage levels without altering frequency through electromagnetic induction, consisting of primary and secondary coils.

New cards
9

Diode Bridges

Convert AC to DC; half-wave rectification uses one diode, while full-wave rectification uses a bridge rectifier.

New cards
10

Capacitance (C)

The ability of a system to store charge per unit voltage, defined as C=q/V, with the unit farad (F).
