Increase or decrease voltage
What can a transformer do when hooked up to two galvanometers?
electric motor
a device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy
electromagnetic induction
the production of a current in a conducting circut by a change in the strength, position or orientation of an external magnetic field
magnetic pole
an area of a magnet where the magnetic force appears to be strongest
A generator converts mechanical energy to electircal energy, while an electric motor does the exact opposite.
How is a generator NOT like an electric motor?
galvanometer
an instrument that measures the amount of current in a circut.
A single electromagnetic force which oscilate at right angles to the both.
What are electricity and magnetism a part of?
compass
a device used to trace a magnetic field
Right Hand Rule
If you imagine holding the wire in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the positive current, the direction your fingers would curl is the direction of the magnetic field
solenoid
a long wound coil of insulated wire
generator
a device that uses electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy
The 2nd Operating Principle
What is Faraday's Law?
Operating principle
the principle by which something operates
Magnetic South Pole
Geographic North Pole in Canada
step-down transformer
a device in which the transformer's secondary coil has fewer loops than the primary coil, causing the voltage to be lowered.
magnet
What has two poles that cannot be isolated?
Every half turn of the loop
For AC, how often does the direction of the current change?
magnetic repulsion between the coil and the magnet causes the coil to twist
When there is current in the coil of the galvanometer,
step-up transformer
a device in which the transformer's secondary coil is greater in voltage than the voltage across the primary coil
moving charges
What is magnetism caused by?
domains
a microscopic magnetic region composed of a group of atoms whose magnetic fields are aligned in a common direction
