the generator effect

• The Generator Effect


  Electricity is generated using the generator effect (also known as the generator effect)
• Cutting Field Lines Induces a Potential Difference


  When field lines are cut, it induces a potential difference
• The Generator Effect


  The induction of a potential difference in a conductor
• The Generator Effect


  The generator effect creates a potential difference in a conductor
• Ways to increase induced current in a generator

  1. Moving a magnet in a coil of wire

  2. Moving a conductor (wire) in a magnetic field ("cutting magnetic field lines")
• Shifting the magnet from side to side


  Creates a little "p" of current if the conductor is part of a complete circuit
• Moving the magnet (or conductor) in the opposite direction


  Reverses the potential difference/current
• Producing a potential difference by moving a magnet back and forth


  Creates a potential difference that keeps swapping direction
• Turning a magnet in a coil or turning a coil in a magnetic field

  How generators work to produce alternating or direct current
• Induced Current Opposes the Change that Made It


  The magnetic field created by an induced current always acts against the change that made it
• Changing the Size of the Induced Potential Difference

  Increasing the speed of movement or increasing the strength of the magnetic field can change the size of the induced potential difference
• Generators work when the coil or the field is moving
• Electricity is useful in daily lives, making the generator effect important
• State the generator effect
• Give two ways to increase the induced current in a generator
