ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM Flashcards
(35 cards)
A danish scientist and chemist
Hans Christian Oersted
he accidentally discovered that an electric current can produce a magnetic field
Hans Christian Oersted
Physicists that discovered that electric fields can produce a magnetic field
Joseph Henry & Michael Faraday
A process where changing magnetic field can produce electric current
Electromagnetic induction
2 products of electromagnetic induction
induce current, induce electromotive force (emf)
Flow of electric charges in a given material
Electricity
Attraction of electron
Current
occurs when there is flow of charges
Current
Dynamic duo
Electricity, magnetism
Dynamic duo means:
When there is electric current, there is a magnetic field
They remain changing
Dynamic duo
Attraction and repulsion
Magnetism
Did Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday work independently?
Yes
Faraday’s law:
Whenever there is change in the magnetic flux in a circuit, an induced current will be produced
Lenz’s law
States that induced current flowing direction so as to oppose the charge causing it
Number of lines of forces
Magnetic flux
area where we can find the magnet and forces
Magnetic field
Force that is produced by magnet
Magnetic flux
Unit of magnetic flux
Weber (Wb)
Flux per unit area of loop of wire is perpendicular to the field
Magnetic field intensity
Magnetic field intensity unit
Tesle (T)
It converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
Generator
Sometimes called alternator because it alternated current
Generator
French scientist that was cited for having the first electric generator in 1832
Hippolyte Pixii
