| The region of space around a magnetic which can influence magnetic materials is called a . . . | magnetic field | show 🗑
|
||||||
| The magnetic field of a magnet can be made visible by using . . . | show | Sprinkle iron filings or place several small compasses around the magnet
🗑
|
||||||
| The end of a bar magnet which turns to point North is called the . . . | show | We usually just call it the North pole - but this is a simplification
🗑
|
||||||
| A bar magnet which is suspended by a thread will eventually . . . | come to rest pointing North-South | show 🗑
|
||||||
| The Earth has a magnetic field around it which resembles that of a . . . | show | It looks similar but this does not mean there is a bar magnet at the centre of the Earth
🗑
|
||||||
| When a coil of wire has an electric current flowing in it, the coil acts like a . . . | show | You can plot the field using plotting compasses
🗑
|
||||||
| show | increasing the current | or by using more turns of wire
🗑
|
||||||
| show | soft iron | which is easy to magnetise and demagnetise
🗑
|
||||||
| show | become permanently magnetised | only if the coil carries a direct current
🗑
|
||||||
| A magnet can be de-magnetised by placing it inside a coil carrying . . . | show | This scrambles the atomic magnets and reduces the magnetic field in the magnet to zero
🗑
|
||||||
| Reversing the current direction in an electromagnet . . . | reverses the poles | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | circuit breakers ( and relays ) | When a large current flows, the electromagnet attracts an iron bar which opens a switch
🗑
|
||||||
| show | force | which throws it out of the field
🗑
|
||||||
| The force on a coil of wire in a magnetic field is the principle of the . . . | show | which spins continuously in one direction
🗑
|
||||||
| In a simple dc motor, the device which allows it to spin continuously in one direction is called a . . . | split ring commutator | show 🗑
|
||||||
| If a magnet is moved into a coil of wire which is part of a complete circuit, a current is . . . | induced | show 🗑
|
||||||
| If a magnet is moved in and out of a coil, the direction of the induced current will . . . | show | that is, change from one direction to the opposite direction
🗑
|
||||||
| show | electromagnetic induction | Discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831
🗑
|
||||||
| show | transformer | not a 'robot'
🗑
|
||||||
| Transformers are used at power stations to . . . | increase the voltage of the electricity supply | show 🗑
|
||||||
| Power lines carry electricity at high voltage because . . . | show | We don't want to pay for what we don't get
🗑
|
||||||
| Electricity supplied by the National Grid is at 400 000 volts. This is too high to use in the home so the voltage must be . . . | reduced by a transformer | show 🗑
|
||||||
| A generator consists of . . . | show | It produces alternating current
🗑
|
||||||
| show | it needs a changing magnetic field | to induce a voltage in the seconday coil
🗑
|
||||||
| If a wire or coil moves through a magnetic field we say it is . . . | show | Think of a cheese wire cutting through cheese
🗑
|
||||||
| When a wire cuts through a magnetic field . . . | show | A current will flow if we connect the wire to a complete circuit
🗑
|
||||||
| show | increase | Obviously !
🗑
|
||||||
| show | increase its area or the number of turns | Or make the field stronger
🗑
|
||||||
| An AC generator consists of . . . | show | Power stations have several of these going at the same time
🗑
|
||||||
| The current is taken from a generator by means of . . . | slip rings and brushes | show 🗑
|
||||||
| show | graphite ( carbon ) | It's a good conductor and it's slippery
🗑
|
||||||
| A transformer works because . . . | show | The coils are wound separately on an iron core
🗑
|
||||||
| show | it transfers the magnetic field from the primary to the seconday coil | Only AC can produce a rapidly changing magnetic field
🗑
|
||||||
| When an alternating voltage is applied across the primary coil of a transformer . . . | an alternating voltage is produced (induced) across the secondary coil | show 🗑
|
||||||
| The voltage across the primary coil of a transformer is related to that across the secondary by the ratio . . . | Vp / Vs = Np / Ns | show 🗑
|
||||||
| If there are more turns of wire on the secondary coil of a transformer than on the primary, the output voltage will be . . . | show | This is a 'step-up' voltage transformer
🗑
|
||||||
| If a transformer steps up voltage then it also . . . | show | Power remains constant
🗑
|
||||||
| For a given rate of transfer of energy (power) the higher the voltage . . . | the smaller the current required | show 🗑
