motor effect

Cards (7)

  • describe motor effect
    current carrying wire in another magnetic field will experience a force
  • give rule to determine direction of experienced force
    left hand rule
    thumb - force
    first - magnetic field
    second - current
  • give factors affecting experience force
    current size and strength of magnetic field
  • describe electric motors
    1. coil in magnetic field experience rotational force
    2. split ring commutator on coil
    3. coil e
  • describe electric motors
    current carrying coil experience rotational force in magnetic field through use of split ring commutator
  • describe affect of split ring commutator
    switch positive and negative connections every half turn ensuring constant one direction rotation
  • describe loudspeakers
    use motor effect to convert vibrations from alternating current into sound waves from pressure variations
