2
Electricity and magnetism are different aspects of a single force: electromagnetism Electricity = result of charged particles Magnetism = result of moving electrons in an atom
3
Moving electric charge creates a magnetic field. Magnetic field lines form circles around wire Right hand rule
4
Solenoid – a coil of wire with an electric current (produces magnetic field). By putting a solenoid around an magnetic metal, you create an electromagnet.
6
Strength of electromagnet depends on 1. Current 2. Number of loops 3. Type of core
7
Many devices use electromagnets: 1. Galvanometer – device that detects and measures electric current 2. Electric motor – uses an electromagnet to turn an axle. 3. Loudspeaker – uses changing current to move a magnet back and force to produce sound waves
9
Moving a magnet into and out of a coil of wire causes charges in a wire to move. Electromagnetic induction – process of creating a current by changing a magnetic field
10
Moving a magnet into and out of a coil of wire causes charges in a wire to move. Became Faraday’s Law Obeys conservation of energy
11
Generators are the opposite of motors: convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Have wire loops that are rotated between two magnets Can be either AC or DC
12
Transformer – device that increases or decreases the voltage of AC. Consists of two coils of wire wrapped around opposite sides of a closed iron loop One side has more loops More loops = greater voltage Used to transfer electricity (power plant to homes)
