Electromagnetic generator

Cards (8)

    • A magnetic field (stata)
    • Conductors which move inside that magnetic field (rotor)

    State the two essential parts of a generator
  • Either by:
    • Rotating a multi-turn coil (rotor)in a magnet

    • Rotating the magnetic field within a set of coils (stator)
    How all generators make EMF by electro magnetic induction
  • Two ends of the coils are attached to different halves of a signle split ring which co-rotates with the coil
    How to obtain DC
  • Both ends of the coil are connected to separate split rings which co-rotate with the coil
    How to obtain AC
    • Flux density of the magnet
    • Length of the conductor
    • velocity (speed) of the conductor
    What does an induced EMF depend on
  • e=e=BLvBLv
    What is the formula for induced EMF
    • e - induced EMF in volts (V)
    • B - flux density in tesla (T)
    • L - length of conductor in meters (m)
    • v - velocity in m/s
    What does e=BLv stand for
  • T=1/F
    How to find periodic time
