Electromagnetism and magnetic domains

Cards (23)

  • Magnetic domains: a group of atoms or molecules that are aligned, the materials that made up of these atoms have strong magnetic properties.
  • Magnets always have two poles, the south and north poles
  • Magnets can be destroyed by heating or constant hitting
  • Heat makes the molecules in the magnetic domains vibrate and break out from their ordered patterns resulting in rearrangement of magnetic domains
  • Law of poles: Like magnetic poles repel, and unlike magnetic pole attract.
  • Electromagnetism: physical interaction of electric charge, magnetic moments, and electromagnetic fields1
  • An electromagnetic field can be static, slowly changing, or form waves
  • Electromagnetic waves are generally known as light an obey laws of optics
  • A changing magnetic field creates an electric field and a changing electric field creates magnetic field
  • Magnetic Induction: or electromagnetic induction refers to the production of voltage across an electrical conductor placed inside a varying magnetic field.
  • Electromagnetic induction: creation of electromotive force in electric conductor and creation of current moving through a static magnetic field
  • Magnetic Induction was given name by Faraday. Is the act of becoming magnetized which certain substances perform when they are placed in a magnetic field
  • Magnetic field: region where a magnet or conductor convey electric current
  • Several ways of changing the magnetic field in a circuit to induced EMF has 3
    1. continuous movement of magnet into the coil of wire
  • 2. changing the orientation of the coil of wire with respect to the magnetic field
  • 3. applying a changing electric current in the circuit
  • a quantitative relationship expressing that a changing magnetic field induces a voltage in a circuit, developed based on experimental observations in 1831 by Michael Faraday.
  • Faraday's law of magnetic inuduction:
  • Lenz Law: the current induced to a circuit is due to a change in magnetic field directed to opposed the motion
  • Lenz Law hand rule: thumb points the direction of current and fingers point the direction of magnetic field
  • Lenz’s Law and Faraday’s Law: both govern how magnetic fields are generated by conductors carrying AC and DC currents
  • Lenz's law states the direction of an induced current, and faraday's law relates the magnitude of the induced back EMF
