magnettttic induction questions

Cards (11)

  • How to change the milliameter
    • stronger magent
    • more coils/turns
  • describe the cause of changing a magentic field in the core of a transformer
    • alternting current in the primary/secondary coil
  • explain why a transformer won't work with input current
    • pd is induced by a change in a magentic field
    • a changing current is need to change a magentic field
  • purpose of as transformer
    • step up/increase voltage
    • step down,decrease
  • explain how a alternating current in a primary coil causes an alternating current in the secondary coil of a transformer
    • magentic field in the primary coil due to current
    • magentic field is altenrating/ changing in primary coil
    • the magentic field cuts through secondary coil,inducing an alternating voltage
  • explain how sound is produced when an alternating coil is supplied to the coil of a loud speaker
    • alternating current produces a changing magentic field around the coil
    • the coil is in a magentic field of fixed magents
    • varying current in a magentic field produced a force on the coil which continuously changes direction
    • coil vibrates making air molecules in paper cone vibrate
  • Explain how using high voltage transmission cables and transformers allows the distribution of electrical power around the United Kingdom to be as efficient as possible.
    • the voltage transmission cables voltage is lower at the destination than national grid due to loss energy through friction
    • creates a power loss (power = current 2 x resistance)
    • step up transformers increase voltage decreasing the current at the national grid so less energy is lost to friction
    • step down increase current decreasing voltage so current is free to use in our homes
  • what is the name of x y and z
    x= earth
    y= live
    z= fuse
  • <how is energy transferred through a lamp from a battery to it's surrondings
    • battery store chemical energy which is transferred to electrons to make them move
    • current = a flow of electrons,electrons collide with ions inside the metal,making them vibrate more - increasing temperutre
    • heat is dissapted to it's surrondings
  • why may wires be thicker than thinner
    • thicker wires have a lower resistance,
    • less thermal energy transferred via the wires
  • How can you change the induced size of the potential difference
    • increase strength of magnetic field
    • more coils
    • move the wire through the magent quicker
