Chpt 5 Part 3 Flashcards
branch of physics that deals with electricity and magnetism and the relationship between them
electromagnetism
(T/F) Electricity and magnetism are different aspects of the same force
True
Who proved that every electrical current (moving charge) produces an associated magnetic field
Oersted (1820)
What was Oersted’s experiment?
Set up a long wire that was supported near a free-rotating compass
What did the magnet do when no current was passed through, and when current was turned on? (Oersted Experiment)
No current = magnet pointed North
current = magnet pointed toward the wire
Oersted’s experiment provided evidence of what and that it was possible to do what to the Earth’s magnetic field?
- electromagnetism
- able to “override”
Who developed rules to determine the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor?
John Fleming
(T/F) The flow of current and the flow of electrons are in the same direction
False
- opposite directions
( o ) thumb is toward you or away from you?
( x ) thumb is toward you or away from you?
- Toward you
- Away from you
Right hand represents what?
Left hand?
Right = current
Left = electron flow
Thumb represents what?
fingers?
Thumb = current flow
Fingers = direction of the magnetic field
A coil of wire
Solenoid
What does a solenoid become when current passes through it?
a magnet
The ability of a material to attract the lines of magnetic field intensity
permeability core
(T/F) a solenoid will produce a strong magnetic field
true
current carrying coil of wire wrapped around an iron core, which intensifies the magnetic field
electromagnet
The strength of the magnetic field is determined by what three things?
- number of loops / turns of wire
- strength of the current (battery)
- permeability of the core material
(T/F) a current moving through a conductor will produce a magnetic field
true
a magnetic field moving over a what can induce an electrical current in it
conductor
Who determined that the magnetic lines of force and the wire must have a motion relative to each other to induce an electrical current
Faraday (1821)
3 ways to create motion between the conductor and the magnetic field to induce electrical current
- move the conductor through a stationary magnetic field
- move the lines of force without changing the field strength
- vary the magnetic field strength
whenever a conductor cuts across the magnetic flux or when a conductor is cut by a magnetic field, what is induced in the conductor?
electromotive force (emf) or potential difference
the interaction of one life of force and one loop of conductor is called?
flux linkage
the magnitude of the induced emf is determined by what?
by the number of flux linkages per second
