RAD 156 Week 5
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The force between two magnetic poles is___________ to the strength of the poles | Directly Proportional |
| The force between two magnetic poles is__________ to the square of the distance separating them | Inversely Proportional |
| Explain the Hans Oersted Experiment | When he made electric current flow through a wire, the needle of a nearby compass deflected |
| Magnetic Induction- | Whenever electrons move, they create a magnetic field that surrounds their path |
| the field is always________ to the current | Perpendicular |
| Conventional Electric current follows the | Flow of Positives |
| In Radiography, we follow the | Flow of Electrons |
| The magnetic field is always at_______ to the current | Right Angles |
| The magnetic field is________ at the center | Strongest |
| Electromagnetic Induction- | creating an electric field using magnets and a conductor |
| Mutual Induction- | An electric current is induced in the second coil by the moving magnetic field of the current in the first coil Requires 2 coils |
| Self Induction- | When an electric current goes through a coil, a growing magnetic field is created which expands outward from the center of the coil, Requires only one coil |
| A coil initially_______ in its own current | Resists Changes |
| Autotransformers operate on | Self Induction |
| Step Transformers operate on | Mutual Induction |
| Shell Core- | Has 2 separate magnetic paths |
| Closed Core- | Has a closed continuous magnetic path, all in one direction |
| What Transformer Core Construction is used in X-Ray Circuits | Closed Core |
| Primary Step Up coil = | less turns |
| Primary Step Down coil= | more turns |
| Secondary Step Up coil= | more turns |
| Secondary Step Down coil= | less turns |
| Step Up Coils- | Increase Voltage and Decrease Current |
| Step Down Coils- | Decrease Voltage and Increase Current |
| Solenoid- | A coiled wire with a very strong magnetic field at the center |
| What happens if we curve the wire? | The fields will not overlap – they change shape |
| Conventional Right Hand Rule | Right thumb points in the direction of the “positive” current, fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field |
| Radiography Method | Right thumb points in the direction of the negative end of the conductor, fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field |
