AC Current 147

QuestionAnswer
An Electric Generator is A machine designed to rotate either a magnetic field or a conductor continuously
An electric generator is simply a machine designed to rotate either a magnetic field or a conductor continuously, producing a Continuous Alternating Current
A Generator converts ________ into electrical energy Mechanical Energy
What is the best way to power an X-Ray Machine Rotate something continuously
What is the rotating part of a generator Rotor
What is the stationary part of a generator Stator
Rotor = Coiled Wire and Attached Handle
Rotor Function = Contains the conductor where current is induced and rotates within magnetic field
Stator = The Stationary Magnet
Stator Function = Provides the magnetic field through which the rotor rotates
As the coil rotates, the magnetic field through the coil is continuously changing. This means that ______ is also continuously changing Voltage
The AC Voltage Waveform graph ends up looking like the ____ Sine Wave
A battery applies a_________ Constant Voltage
Adding a battery creates a_________ in the conductor Direct One Way Current
The DC Voltage Waveform graph looks like a ______ Straight Line
AC Voltage Waveform- The voltage is constantly changing over time
DC Voltage Waveform- The voltage stays the same over time
The Conductor can be __________ Either the rotor or the stator
Now let’s try adding an AC generator. What will happen to the motion of the electrons? They oscillate back and forth
In the US, electrons in an AC generator usually oscillate about______ 60 times a second
The_______ is the generator telling the electrons how hard to push Voltage Waveform
Voltage is the _______ created by the generator Electric Potential
_________ is the response of the voltage Electron Displacement
The _______ pushes the electrons as far as they will go Strongest Voltage
Voltage is continuously changing in an AC Generator
A copper wire has _____ without any voltage Electrons At Rest
Potential Difference is A seperation of charges allowing the potential to do work (found in X-Ray tube)
Every generator has 2 main parts, One part contains ______ The Conductor, where current is induced
Every generator has 2 main parts, The other part provides ______ The Changing Magnetic Field (or moves relative to the magnetic field)
The AC Voltage Waveform is a graph of the Change in voltage over time

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
