Electromagnetic Induction Quiz

Study Notes

Electromagnetic Induction

A square coil, side length 5 cm, containing 100 turns of wire, experiences average voltage when rotated 90° in a magnetic field (B) of 0.04 T within 0.1 s.
Lenz’s law indicates induced voltage across a coil due to changes in magnetic conditions, such as a shifting magnet or altering coil dimensions/angles.
Voltage induced is calculated using the formula: ( V = -\frac{\Delta[BA \cos(\theta)]}{\Delta t} ).

Electric Motor

An electric motor converts electric current into mechanical energy, demonstrated by the motion of a compass needle.
A simple motor setup includes a current-carrying coil placed within magnetic poles, resulting in a torque that spins the coil.
Reversal of current direction in motors is achieved via a split ring commutator.

Electric Generator

Converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by facilitating electric current flow through external circuits.

Inductor

An inductor is a wire coil with N turns, wound around a core, typically made of ferrite for enhanced magnetic properties.
Inductance is expressed as ( n = \frac{N}{\lambda} ), where λ is the coil length.

Transformer

Comprises two inductors on a shared magnetic core, used to adjust input voltage magnitude.
Input and output voltages relate based on the turns ratio: ( \frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} = \frac{N_S}{N_P} ).

Example Calculation for Transformer

For an ideal transformer with 100 turns on the input and 2000 on the output, the turns ratio is 20:1.
An input voltage (RMS) of 10 V results in an output voltage of 200 V based on the turns ratio.

Laws of Magnetism

Magnetic entities always have a North (N) and South (S) pole; there are no isolated magnetic poles (magnetic monopoles).
Like poles repel while opposite poles attract, similar to electrostatic forces.

Magnetic Force

A conductor carrying a current creates a magnetic field, and interaction with an external magnetic field induces a force.
Magnetic field induction (B) is defined as ( B = \mu_0 \mu_r H ), with Tesla as the unit of B.
The permeability of a vacuum (( \mu_0 )) is given by ( 4\pi \times 10^{-7} ) (SI units); ( \mu_r ) varies based on the material.

Electromagnetic Induction - Faraday’s Law

Faraday’s law states that a changing magnetic field induces electric current in a circuit.
Induction strength depends on the strength and velocity of the magnetic field, the angle of the conductor, and the number of turns in the conductor.

Summary of Magnetic Parameters

Knowledge of magnetic parameters, including magnetic susceptibility, is essential in understanding electromagnetism.
Constant ( \mu_0 ) plays a critical role in the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic induction.

Learning Outcomes
