1
New cards
What substance would not be attracted by a magnet?
Copper
2
New cards
Describe magnetic field lines.
Show the strength and direction of magnetic field, become widely spread as the force weakens.
3
New cards
What will happen when a magnet is heated?
It will become weaker.
4
New cards
Describe a magnetic domain.
A group of atoms with their magnetic axes lined up in the same direction.
5
New cards
What is it called when something is temporarily magnetized?
Induction.
6
New cards
The strength of a magnetic feild of a coil can be increased by what?
* Increasing the current
* Increasing the number of loops
* Wrapping it around an iron core
7
New cards
What would cause the armature of a DC motor to turn faster?
* increasing the current
* Increasing the turns
* Increasing the strength of the magnetic feild
8
New cards
If a split-ring communicator of a DC motor was replaced with a solid commutator ring, what would happen the the armature?
It would stop when the coil was parallel to the magnetic feild.
9
New cards
A conductor would be attracted to a magnet when…
The conductor caintains moving electrons.
10
New cards
What did Heinrich Lenz state?
The direction of an induced current produces a magnetic field that opposes the inducing field.
11
New cards
What does not affect the size of a induced current in a coil?
Direction of the windings in the coil.
12
New cards
When a permanent magnet is held ready in the Center of a coil, the galvanometer will indicate…
No current.
13
New cards
What factor increase the output of a generator?
* increasing the rate of rotation
* Increasing the strength of the magnets
* Increasing the number of coils
14
New cards
If the connections to a step-up transformer are reversed and the secondary coil is now the primary coil, what will happen?
The transformer will step down the potential difference.
15
New cards
What does a step-down transformer change?
High potential difference to low potential difference.
16
New cards
What is the advantage of AC power over DC power?
AC power allows the operation of transformers.
17
New cards
What does the speed of any mechanical wave as it propagates through a medium depend on?
The type of medium that it travels through.
18
New cards
What is the shortest time interval in which a wave motion completely repeats itself?
A period.
19
New cards
Which way do the particles move in a transverse wave?
Particles move forward with the wave.
20
New cards
How is energy propagated in longitudinal waves?
It is propagated by crests and troughs.
21
New cards
How do waves bend as they travel through small opening or past corners?
Diffraction.
22
New cards
What is produced during complete destructive interference?
A node
23
New cards
What property affects intensity or loudness?
Amplitude.
24
New cards
What does the speed of sound that goes through air depend on?
Tempurature.
25
New cards
During destructive interference what is produced?
A quieter sound.
26
New cards
What causes waves to echo?
Reflection.
27
New cards
Sound waves are…
Longitudinal.
28
New cards
What does pitch depend on?
Loudness.
29
New cards
What does Mach number represent?
The ratio of an objects speed to the speed of sound in air at that location.
