Magnetism
This train does not roll on wheels.All its weight floats on magnets.
Misc pictures to ebed later
Magnetism was discovered over 2,000 years ago.The first magnets were natural rocks called lodestones.
Magnetism was named for the region of Greece (Magnesia) where these rocks were found.
No matter the shape,Magnets have two sides or “poles”

Which really means that the north magnetic pole is by definition the south pole of a magnet since they attract. (But this is just trivia).
Until 1820, people thought electricity and magnetism were unrelated. Until Hans Christian Oersted made a discovery during a class.

ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM are VERY RELATED
MAGNETIC Fields are created by moving charged particles
Electricity & Magnetism

Opposites attract
Similar because:
Electricity & Magnetism
Different because:
Positive and negative charges exist independent of each other

YOU cannot have a N pole without a S pole t
N S N S N S+ ETC
Electricity & Magnetism
They both (like gravity) exert a force without contact.
Similar because:
That really bugs me.
Electricity & MagnetismSimilar because:
THEY BOTH CREATE FORCE FIELDS
Field lines arrows run from N to S poles.Is a north pole like a + or - charge?
Where is the field the strongest?
Magnetic Field Strength has units of :
TESLA (T)
Surface of a Neutron Star 100,000,000
Magnetic Field
Surface of a strong magnet 10
Near earth’s magnetic poles .00005
gauss (G) is also used sometimes 1 G = 10-4 T
The variable for magnetic field is B.
Magnetic field lines are mapped out by using another magnet like a compass
Phet magnet simulation
A magnet will align itself with field lines
A magnet will align itself with field lines, when the torques balance out around the needle pivot. Think back to torque, how does the large red force balance the small blue force.
N
S
NS
Why do magnetic field lines have to be mapped out with both a N and S pole?
Why can’t we just put a N pole in the field and map out the net force on it like we did with electric field with a + test charge?
Iron filings will trace out field lines because they become temporarily magnetized.
Magnetic Fields are really 3D
Magnetism originatesin the motion of the electrons in iron.
Spinning electrons act like tiny magnets. Almost 100 % cancellation of this effect occurs in mostmaterials.
Iron, nickel, cobalt areexceptions.

Little regions of a ferro-magnetic material,have the unpaired electrons align
domains can be forced to align by a magnetic field.
heating or banging tends to unalign them again
they will temporarily stay aligned
This is why certain materials become magnetic when touching a magnet.
Because the domains align in the field(the coins must be made with Fe, Ni, or Co)

The greater the number of wraps the greater the internal field strength

Where during the spin is the greatest rate of change of flux
As the ring rotates around at a constant rate, the rate of change of flux is not

The greater the length of wire in the changing magnetic field, the greater the current.
A simple way to do this is to coil the wire.
The more coils, the more effective the “generator” is.
This is how a “shaker” light works. A decent one will have a lot of coils
The field lines “cut” through the wire as the magnet moves
A CHANGING MAGNETIC FIELD PRODUCES CURRENT
This is called electromagnetic induction
A stationary magnet and wire produce NO Voltage or CURRENT

A generator produces electric voltage & current which means it makes energy?
NO of course,Energy is not created or destroyed it just changes forms.
A generator converts energy usually supplied by coal/gasoline into electrical energy.

Slower Faster
It makes sense that moving the magnet faster (more KE), produces more electrical energy.
More Energy IN = More Energy OUT
Moving a magnet at the same speed through more coils also produces more energy
HOW does that make sense with conservation of energy?
It is harder to push a magnet through the middle of more coils Work (energy) = Force x Distance

A wire moves down through the magnetic field.In what direction will current flow?
What direction will the magnetic field be around the wire?
The more current produced, the harder you have to push the magnetic to move it because the lenz magnetic field is stronger

These eddy currents produce a magnet field which slows the magnet

Back EMF
When the motor first start up, the coil is not rotating. There is no back EMF and
current is briefly very BIG.

Back EMF
As the coil speeds up, back EMF increases and
current slows.

Eventually the motor reaches a speed where the back EMF balances out with the voltage driving
current and friction etc…and the motor maintains a
constant speed.

Now the motor starts to lift something heavy, which causes itsSpeed to …Back EMF…Current to…
Why will a motor that gets jammed trip a breaker?
The amount of back EMF is proportional to the speed at which the motor rotates

Motor starts up, no movement initially. No motion or back EMF.Large current.
Motor spins up. Speed and back EMF Increase. Current Decreases
Under no load the motor will reach a maximum speed, when the Back EMF reduces the current to just overcome Friction and Heat Loss

When the motor does work against a load. It slows down.Back EMF drops, current goes up and it does work.
This is how a motor “knows” how hard to push (within limits)

Back EMF will flow current the backwards as it continues to rotate.
When a the current is shut off (current is cut)
When a motor is shut “off” its rotational momentum keeps it moving for a time and it acts like a generator.
The current produced can back feed current to any device connected. This can be bad.
Motors and generators are the same device just used differently

Current is produced in a wire only when the magnetic field around the wire CHANGES!

Current in
When a current flows through the primary coil wrapped around a core it acts like an electromagnet.This causes the entire core to become magnetized.
Which way will the field lines point?
Current in
If the current is constant, they core will remain strongly magnetized
Will the secondary coil have more, less, or the same amount of current as the primary?
NONE!
Remember: a stationary magnet (constant magnetic field) and wire produce NO Voltage or
CURRENT
In order to make current, the magnetic field has to change. Like moving the magnet in and out of the coil
Current in
This is like holding a stationary magnet in the secondary coil.
Even a strong magnet makes no currentIF it does not move

This VEXED early scientists trying to produce current in the other coil. UNTIL…...

They noticed right when the switch shut off the primary current.

Because it is not a magnetic field that makes current in a wire but a magnetic field that is….
Moving or changing.
Important:
A magnet and wire only make electricity if they are moving relative to each other.
a magnet sitting on top of a wire doesn’t make your toaster work. DUH...

More wire means….
The magnetic field strength is the same
More wire means….
More wire = More Voltage
= BLv
More coils in the secondary means the voltage is increased
Less coils in the secondary means the voltage is decreased
6,000 V
120V
8000 V
240,000 V
A typical power “grid” why bother with the voltage increase????
Steps down from 240,000 V to 8000 V
Steps down from 8000 V to 240 V

A primary coil of 500 loops fed from household current is connected via a transformer to 38 loops. What is the output voltage?
BUT no escaping the :Law of conservation of energy
Which means:
energy in = energy out
Time Time
power in = power out
For electrical energy:
Power = current x voltage
P = IV
power in = power out
P = IV
IinVin = IoutVout
When voltage is decreased….
current…..
power…..
High voltage = less current for the same energy transferred.
-minus the energy lost in the tranformers
A 12V transformer delivers 1.5 W, how much current is drawn from the 120V outlet it is connected to?
How does this power-stealing device work?

A loop with a radius of 7.0 cm is initially perpendicular to a 4.0 Tesla field. It is rotated
such that it is parallel with the field in 0.01 seconds. Determine the average emf in the coil.

Some people in the late 1800’s people thought that the wires that delivered electricity to houses would be gone soon…
That didn’t work out
Nikola Tesla had this crazy idea in the early 1900’s that this could be used to send information without wires.
"As soon as [the Wardenclyffe plant is] completed, it will be possible for a business man in New York to dictate instructions, and have them instantly appear in type at his office in London or elsewhere. He will be able to call up, from his desk, and talk to any telephone subscriber on the globe, without any change whatever in the existing equipment.. . . ." — Nikola Tesla
An antenna is used for sending and receiving a signal.The optimum length of the antenna depends on the wavelength being sent
Sending information in the EM waves did however catch on a bit...
How information is sent in a wave.
Miscellaneous not used stuff
Placing ferromagnetic material in the center of the coils makes it even stronger. Iron is called a CORE.
Soft iron is used because its domains don’t stay aligned after the current is turned off. Steel would remain magnetized.
The direction of the magnetic field can be found by curling your fingers (right hand) following the current.
Your thumb shows the direction of the field (pointing to N)
If the current was reversed. The poles would switch.
What are the poles?
NS
The magnet on the boom of this crane can be turned on and off.
A quick note about “conventional current”
Vs “actual current”
the rules we deal with upcoming are based on conventional current
The magnetic force is due to the electron moving through a magnetic field. so
