New cards
Magnetic Field
The space surrounding a magnet is called a magnetic field.
2
New cards

Notation of magnetic field

  • We use (x) when the magnetic field goes into the plane.

  • We use (.) when the magnetic field goes out of the plane.

3
New cards
Bar Magnet
A permanent bar magnet creates a magnetic field that closely resembles the magnetic field produced by a circular loop of current-carrying wire.
4
New cards

Magnetic Force

F = qv x B with magnitude: F = qv B \sin{\theta}

  • F = force

  • q = charge

  • v = velocity

  • B = magnetic field

5
New cards

Right-Hand Rule

Whenever you use the right-hand rule, follow these steps:

  • Orient your hand so that your thumb points in the direction of the velocity v.

  • If the charge is negative, turn your thumb by 180 degrees.

  • Point your fingers in the direction of B.

  • The direction of FB will then be perpendicular to your palm.

New cards

Magnetic force on a current carrying wire

F = ILB with magnitude: F = BIL \sin{\theta}

  • F = force

  • B = magnetic field

  • I = current

  • L = length of conductor

7
New cards

Magnetic field created by current-carrying wire

B= \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r}

  • B = magnetic field

  • I = applied current

  • μo = permeability of free space

  • r = the distance from the wire where the magnetic field is calculated

8
New cards

Lenz’s Law

The induced current will always flow in the direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.

Emf = -N \frac{\Delta \Theta}{\Delta t}

  • ‘Emf’ = Induced voltage or electromotive force.

  • ‘N’ = The number of loops.

  • ‘Δϕ’ = Change within magnetic flux.

  • ‘Δt’ = Change in time

9
New cards

Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic induction

Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an electromotive force is induced. If the conductor circuit is closed, a current is induced, which is called induced current.

The induced emf in a coil is equal to the rate of change of flux linkage.

Emf = - \frac{\Delta \Theta}{\Delta t}

  • emf = electromotive force

  • dΦ = change in magnetic flux

  • dt = change in time

10
New cards

Induced current

It is created in three ways:

  • Changing the area of the loop of wire in a stationary magnetic field.

  • Changing the magnetic field strength through a stationary circuit.

  • Changing the angle between the magnetic field and the wire loop.

11
New cards

Motional Emf

Motional emf is the electromotive force generated by the motion of a conductor through a magnetic field.

It is given by the equation emf = Blv, where

  • B is the magnetic field strength

  • l is the length of the conductor

  • v is the velocity of the conductor

This phenomenon is used in various applications, such as electric generators and motors.

12
New cards
Solenoid
Solenoid is a device that is constructed by a series of coaxial wires through which a continuous current flow.
13
New cards

When a change of current in one circuit induced a voltage into another circuit, this process is known as

mutual induction

14
New cards

Increasing the current through a conductor will cause the magnetic field around the conductor to

increase in strength

15
New cards

Current flow in a conductor produces

a magnetic field

16
New cards

Whenever there is motion between a conductor and a magnetic field

a voltage is generated in that conductor

17
New cards
What is a magnetic material?
Any material that is attracted to a magnet and has magnetic domains.
18
New cards
What is a magnetic pole?
A place on the magnet where the force of attraction is greatest.
19
New cards

Describes it to behaviors of magnetic poles when they are placed next to each other.

a) like poles repel each other

b) unlike poles attract each other

20
New cards
In what direction do the imaginary magnetic lines of force of a closed loop flow?
From the north pole to the south pole.
21
New cards
electromagnet
Device that uses current flow through conductors around a core to create magnetism.
22
New cards
flux
The total lines of force surrounding a magnetic material. The symbol is Φ.
23
New cards
permeability
The ability of a material to concentrate flux as compared to air. The symbol is μ.
24
New cards

What three factors affect the strength of the magnetic field around the coil?

a) The amount of current through the coil

b) The number of turns on the coil

c) The core material

25
New cards

State the three factors that determine them amount of induced emf.

a) flux density

b) the number of turns in a conductor

c) The rate at which lines of force are cut by the conductor which is determined by the velocity and the angle of cut

26
New cards
mutual induction
Mutual induction takes place when a change in current and one circuit causes a voltage to be induced into another separate circuit.
27
New cards

State two applications that use the principle of mutual induction.

a) ignition coils

b) transformers
