Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction Magnetism term from Magnesia, an ancient city in Asia Minor, where more than 2000 years ago, Greeks found unusual lodestones that attracted pieces of iron

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Magnetism and Electromagnetic Induction Magnet facts rubbing iron against a lodestone produces a magnet in 1750, John Michell found that magnetic poles obey the inverse-square law Hans Christian Oersted—magnetism related to electricity Andre Marie Ampere—electric currents are source of all magnetic phenomena

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Magnetic Poles Magnetic force force of attraction or repulsion between a pair of magnets depends on which end of the magnet is held near the other behavior similar to electrical forces strength of interaction depends on the distance between the two magnets

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Magnetic Poles Magnetic poles give rise to magnetic force two types interacting with each other –north pole (north-seeking pole) –south pole (south-seeking pole) Rule for magnetic forces between magnetic poles Like poles repel; opposite poles attract

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electromagnetic Induction Electromagnetic induction discovered by Faraday and Henry induces voltage by changing the magnetic field strength in a coil of wire

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electromagnetic Induction Electromagnetic induction (continued) induced voltage can be increased by –increasing the number of loops of wire in a coil –increasing the speed of the magnet entering and leaving the coil slow motion produces hardly any voltage rapid motion produces greater voltage

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electromagnetic Induction Voltage is induced in the wire loop whether the magnetic field moves past the wire or the wire moves through the magnetic field.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electromagnetic Induction When a magnet is plunged into a coil with twice as many loops as another, twice as much voltage is induced. If the magnet is plunged into a coil with three times as many loops, three times as much voltage is induced.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electromagnetic Induction Faraday’s law states that the induced voltage in a coil is proportional to the number of loops, multiplied by the rate at which the magnetic field changes within those loops amount of current produced by electromagnetic induction is dependent on –resistance of the coil –circuit that it connects –induced voltage

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electromagnetic Induction It is more difficult to push the magnet into a coil with many loops because the magnetic field of each current loop resists the motion of the magnet.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The resistance you feel when pushing a piece of iron into a coil involves A.repulsion by the magnetic field you produce. B.energy transfer between the iron and coil. C.Newton’s third law. D.resistance to domain alignment in the iron. Electromagnetic Induction CHECK YOUR NEIGHBOR

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Electromagnetic Induction Voltage induced in a wire requires changing magnetic field in the loop by moving the loop near a magnet moving a magnet near a loop changing the current in a nearby loop

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Generators and Alternating Current Generator opposite of a motor converts mechanical energy into electrical energy via coil motion produces alternating voltage and current

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Generators and Alternating Current The frequency of alternating voltage induced in a loop is equal to the frequency of the changing magnetic field within the loop.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Power Production Using Faraday and Henry’s discovery of electromagnetic induction, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse showed that electricity could be generated in sufficient quantities to light cities.

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The Transformer—Boosting or Lowering Voltage Transformer input coil of wire—the primary powered by AC voltage source output coil of wire—the secondary connected to an external circuit

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The Transformer—Boosting or Lowering Voltage Transformer (continued) both wound on a common iron core so that the magnetic field of the primary passes through the secondary uses an alternating current and voltage in one coil to induce an alternating current and voltage in a second coil

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The Transformer—Boosting or Lowering Voltage Transformers can be step-up or step-down voltage step-up transformer –produces a greater voltage in the secondary than supplied by the primary –secondary has more turns in coil than the primary step-down transformer –produces a smaller voltage in the secondary than supplied by the primary –secondary has less turns in coil than the primary

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The Transformer—Boosting or Lowering Voltage Transformer relationship:

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The Transformer—Boosting or Lowering Voltage Transformer transfers energy from one coil to another rate of energy transfer is power power into primary = power into secondary or (voltage  current) primary = (voltage  current) secondary

Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The Transformer—Boosting or Lowering Voltage Transformer transfers energy from one coil to another (continued) example: voltage stepped up before leaving power station voltage stepped down for distribution near cities by cables that feed power to the grid voltage stepped down again before supplying to businesses and consumers through substations
