Notes Science Tennessee SPI Objective: Electromagnetic Induction Notes Science Tennessee SPI Objective: Recognize that electricity can be produced using a magnet and wire coil. Essential Question(s) 1) How is electricity produced with a magnet and a coil of wire? 2) How do I make a simple generator? I Can Statement I can explain how to make electricity using a magnet and a wire coil. Success Criteria I can prove that I understand this topic by drawing a simple generator.

Simple Electrical Generator Key Ideas and Terms Magnets and a coil of wire can induce (create) electricity This process is called electromagnetic induction Note: another name for electricity is electrical current Note: another name for a coil of wire is a solenoid Simple Electrical Generator Coil of Wire (Solenoid) Bar Magnet

Electromagnetic induction The magnet has to move through the coil … or the coil has to move through the magnet Simple Electrical Generator Here is the magnet Galvanometer Here is the solenoid (coil of wire) Here is a Galvanometer (measures electric current and direction of the current) Solenoid The bar magnet is pushed back and forth through the solenoid Magnet

How It Works All magnets have an invisible magnetic force field. The bar magnet is pushed back and forth through the solenoid Simple Electrical Generator The magnetic force field pushes the electrons from atom to atom in the wire creating electrical current.

Look at the two generators shown below Generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy Both diagrams are showing electromagnetic induction Note: in picture 01 the wire coil is stationary and the magnet is moving back and forth Note: in picture 02 the magnet is stationary and the wire coil is rotating Picture 02 (It works either way) Picture 01

Rotational Generators (very common) Note: the magnet is stationary and the wire coil is rotating. It also works if the wire is stationary and the magnet is moving Rotational Generator Magnet Magnet Wire Coil

F.Y.I.-Electromagnetic Induction …is how most electricity is generated around the world. These power plants all use magnets and coils of wire to make electricity Nuclear Power Plant Wind Turbines Coal Power Plant Hydroelectric Dam

F.Y.I.-Electromagnetic Induction …is how most electricity is generated in cars, trains, boats, & planes Each of these machines has a generator inside that creates electricity Electrical Generator (Alternator) Consists of a magnet rotating through a coil of wire

Two Ways to Increase the Electrical Current (1) Move the magnet faster (2) Add more coils of wire
