AC Theory

Lesson 6

QuestionAnswer
Whenever current flows through a conductor, a(n) ____ field is created around the conductor. Magnetic
Whenever a conductor cuts through magnetic lines of flux, a(n) ____ is induced into the conductor. Voltage or EMF
The direction of induced current flow through a conductor is determined by the ____ of the magnetic field surrounding the conductor and the ____ that the conductor is traveling through the magnetic field. direction direction
When no current flows in a conductor, free electrons move at ____ their magnetic fields ____. random random/cancel
Describe briefly how a magnetic field is produced when current flows in a conductor. When voltage is applied, free electrons moved in one direction and their magnetic fields add.
The important factors needed for generation of an induced voltage are a(n) ____, a(n), and ____ motion. conductor a magnetic field relative
As the current passing through a coil increases, the magnetic field that it causes around the coil will ____. increase
An EMF is induced when an conductor moves through a magnetic field. Is an EMF also induced when the field moves and the conductor remains stationary? Explain. Yes. If you have a conductor and a magnetic field and movement between them you will generate induced voltage
Whenever an electric current flows through a conductor, a magnetic field is formed ____ the conductor around
As current flow decreases, the magnetic field surrounding the conductor____ (decreases/remains the same/ increases). decreases
State Lenz's Law A magnetic field that induces voltage and a magnetic field that is produced by the induced current oppose each other
Inductors always oppose a(n) ____ of current. change
Counterelectromotive Force is sometimes called ____ EMF, and CEMF is ____ (how many) degrees out of phase with the applied voltage. back 180°
CEMF ____(subtracts from/adds to) the applied EMF when current is increasing and ____ (subtracts from/adds to) the current when it is decreasing. adds subtracts
List some factors that work in combination to affect the inductance produced by an inductor Number of turns of wire space between the turns cross-sectional area of the core permeability of the core material cr
The unit of inductance is the ____, and is represented by the letter ____. henry L
How is the unit of inductance defined? When a current change of 1 ampere per second causes an induced voltage of 1 volt
Iron core inductors cannot be used for high-frequency applications because of ____ loss and ____ in the core material. eddy current hysteresis
State the formula for calculating the inductance(circular core inductor) based upon the physical factors. L = 3.19N² x A x µ/ 10^8 l
Inductance is ____ (directly proportional/inversely proportional) to the number of turns of wire, the type of core material used, and the cross sectional area of the core. directly proportional

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
