  • Magnetic field strength, symbol B, unit tesla (T)
  • Magnetic flux, symbol Φ, unit webber (Wb)
  • Strength (B) is defined as the magnetic flux density. The increase in the n.o. mag. field lines per unit area means a stronger field.
  • magnetic flux -> Φ = B x A
    magnetic field strength -> B = Φ/A
  • Area, symbol A, unit meters squared (m²)
  • Magnetic force on moving charge -> FB = q x V x B
  • Charge, symbol q, unit coulomb (C)
  • speed, symbol V, unit meters per second (Ms-1)
  • Mag. flux is defined as the total number of mag. field lines passing through any surface or conductor

    Flux = mag. field lines
  • Max flux when fields lines are perpendicular
    Zero when parallel
  • Current, symbol I, unit amps (A)
  • length of wire in the field, symbol L, unit meter (M)
  • force on a current carrying wire -> FB = B x I x L
  • induced voltage across a straight metal wire moving in a mag. field -> Vinduced = B x V x L
  • I induced = Vinduced/R
  • (E) Vinduced = - △Φ/ △t
  • area of a circle = πr2^2
  • total flux = Φ x n.o. turns
  • when Φ = 0, E is max
    when Φ max, E = 0
  • average voltage induced in coil while its being rotated -> V = -n △Φ/t
  • △= change in ...
  • time for current to drop to zero -> V = -n △Φ/t => t= -n x △Φ/ V
  • average rate flux changes during time interval -> △Φ/△t
  • total resistance = R per turn x N.O. turns
  • average current in loop -> I = V/Tr (T=total)
  • Φ = LI
  • Inductance of coil, symbol L, unit henry (H)
  • Vinduced = - △Φ /△t => Vinduced = -L △I/△t
  • time taken for current to drop to zero -> t = -L x I△/V
  • self inductance of coil -> -L = V/ (△I/△t)
  • time interval -> T = L/R
  • time constant, symbol T, unit seconds (s)
  • energy stored in an inductor -> E=1/2LI²
  • resistance -> r = V/I
  • resistance, symbol R, unit ohms (Ω)
  • Vs induced = -M △Φp/△t -> = -M △Ip/△t
  • mutual inductance, symbol M
  • P = I x V
  • Pheat = I² x R
  • Vs = supply voltage
