Study Notes
- A compass needle is a small magnet, one end points to the north (north pole), the other points to the south (south pole)
- Magnetic fields exist in the region surrounding every magnet, in which the force of the magnet can be detected
- Field lines represent magnetic fields, are the path a hypothetical free north pole will move along
- Magnetic field direction at a point matches the direction of a north pole placed at that point
- Field lines are closer where the magnetic field is stronger
- A metallic wire carrying electric current has a magnetic field
- Magnetic field lines consist of concentric circles around the wire, and are defined by the right-hand rule
- Magnetic field pattern around a conductor relies on the conductor's shape
- A solenoid carrying a current produces a magnetic field that resembles a bar magnet's field
- Electromagnets have a core of soft iron wrapped with insulated copper wire
- A current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences a force
- When the field and current directions are perpendicular, the force on the conductor is perpendicular to both
- Fleming's left-hand rule determines the force's direction
- Homes receive AC electric power at 220V and 50Hz
- One wire in the supply has red insulation called live wire
- A second is black insulation called the neutral wire
- The potential difference between live and neutral wires is 220V
- The third is an earth wire with green insulation, connected deep in the earth to a metal body, for safety
- It is a safety measure to ensure that a user will not get severe shocks from any current leaking into the metallic body.
- Fuses are important safety devices to protect circuits from short-circuiting or overloading
Domestic Circuits
- Domestic circuits are wired so different appliances can be connected across live and neutral wires in parallel
- Each appliance has its own switch to control current flow
- Parallel wiring ensures each appliance has equal potential difference
Electric Fuses
- An electric fuse is an important component in all domestic circuits that prevents circuit and appliance damage from overloading
- Overloading occurs when live and neutral wires contact each other due to damaged wire insulation, leading to a short-circuit and abruptly increased current
- Overloading also occurs from accidental voltage spikes or too many appliances connected to a single socket
Two separate domestic use circuits
- One 15A-rated circuit for high-power appliances (geysers, air coolers)
- The other is 5A-rated circuit for lights and fans
- Earth wires with green insulation connect to a metal plate in the ground
- Metallic appliance bodies connect to the earth wire, providing a low-resistance path
- This will ensure that current leakage to the appliance body keeps it at earth's potential, preventing electric shock to the user
- If the current in rod AB increases the displacement of rod AB will be larger
- If a stronger horse-shoe magnet is used the displacement of rod AB will be larger
- If the length of the rod AB is increased the displacement of the rod AB will be larger
- The force is greatest when the current direction is at right angles with the magnetic field
- Fleming's left-hand rule helps find the direction of motion or force on a conductor
- The thumb points to the direction of motion or the force on a conductor
- Forefinger points in the direction of magnetic field and the second finger to the direction of current
Right Hand Thumb Rule
- Holding a current-carrying straight conductor in the right hand, with the thumb pointing towards the current, then the fingers will wrap around in the direction of the magnetic field lines
- The right-hand thumb rule is also named Maxwell's corkscrew rule, and by applying right-hand rule, it is easy to check that every section of the wire contributes to the magnetic field lines in the same direction within the loop
- The metallic body is connected to the earth wire, which provides a low-resistance conducting path for the current
- Ensures that any leakage of current to the metallic body of the applies keeps its potential to that of the earth, and the user may not get a severe electric shock
- By applying the right hand rule, it is easy to check that every section of the wire contributes to the magnetic field lines in the same direction within the loop
- Therefore, if there is a circular coil having n turns, the field produced is n times as large as that produced by a single turn
- The field inside a solenoid is uniform
- Apply the right-hand rule to find out the direction of the magnetic field inside and outside the loop
