The current flow is now to the left The thumb points in the direction of electron flow, the fingers curl around the wire in the direction of the magnetic field.
21
The current flow is now to the left The thumb points in the direction of electron flow, the fingers curl around the wire in the direction of the magnetic field.
22
The current flow is now to the left The thumb points in the direction of electron flow, the fingers curl around the wire in the direction of the magnetic field.
23
Each of the following diagrams shows a section of wire that has been enlarged. Associated with each wire is the direction of current flow and the magnetic field around the wire. Determine which of the following diagrams are correct.
24
Does the diagram at the right show the correct orientation of the magnetic field around the current bearing wire?.
25
Arrows show the direction of negative current flow. Using your left hand, grab the wire with your thumb pointed in the direction of electron flow. Your fingers curl around the wire in the direction of the magnetic field.
26
Is the diagram at the left correct? The diagram is…
27
Is the diagram at the left correct? The diagram is…
28
Electrons flow out of the negative side of the potential source. Negative
29
Through the circuit and back to the positive side of the potential source. Positive
30
Therefore the current flow in the green section of wire is down as shown.
31
Using your hand grasp the wire with your thumb pointing in the direction of current flow.
32
Your fingers curled around the wire show the direction of the magnetic field.
33
Notice the magnetic field is going on the right side of the wire
34
and on the left side of the wire.
35
Let’s go back and try the problem again.
36
The diagram shows a compass placed above a current bearing wire.
37
The compass needle points into the page
38
What is the direction of the current flow in the wire? Click on your choice above.
39
The magnetic field above the wire goes into the page as shown by the compass.
40
Using your hand grasp the wire so your fingers curl over the top of the wire.
42
Your thumb points in the direction of negative current flow.
44
The current flow is to the
47
Negative current flow is to the right.
48
Let’s review why.
49
As shown by the compass, the magnetic field above the wire goes into the page.
50
Grasp the wire with your hand curling your fingers over the top of the wire.
51
Your thumb shows the current is flowing to the right.
55
Shown here is a loop of wire connected to a potential source.
56
The electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery
57
through the wire and back to the positive terminal.
59
We know that when current flows through a wire a magnetic field is formed.
60
to determine the direction of the magnetic field. We use the
61
Fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field The arrows show the direction of electron flow.
62
Grab the loop with your
63
Curl your fingers around the loop in the same direction as the electron flow.
64
Your thumb now points
65
The magnetic field on the outside of the loop is from the north pole to the south pole
66
The magnetic field inside the loop travels from the south back to the north
67
If we place a compass inside the loop it points in the direction of the flux lines
68
Outside the loop a compass still points in the direction of the magnetic flux lines
69
I’m back!
70
Several LOOPS of wire are called a
71
We also use the to determine the magnetic field around a coil.
72
To demonstrate the we’ll start by building an electromagnet.
73
To build an electromagnet or solenoid we start with a cylinder.
74
We could use one of the cardboard rolls found at the center of toilet paper rolls
75
If the inside of the cylinder is hollow it is said to have an air core.
76
The front side of the coil is called the face of the coil.
77
We will start creating an electrical solenoid by wrapping wire around the core.
78
Each wrap is a loop of wire.
79
and all the loops form a coil
80
Next attach a potential source (battery) to the wire.
81
The current will flow from the negative terminal
82
through the wire and back to the positive terminal.
83
The current flowed up the back of the coil
84
and down the front side or face of the coil.
85
Current flowing through the coil creates a magnetic field.
86
is used to determine the direction of the magnetic field. The
87
The next few slides will show how to apply the to this coil.
88
Grasp the coil with your left hand curling your fingers around the coil in the direction of electron flow. Your thumb points to the end of the coil
89
The magnetic flux lines come out of the NORTH, go around and into the SOUTH.
90
In what direction would a compass point if placed above the coil?
91
A compass will point in the same direction as the magnetic flux lines at that point.
92
Now we are going to replace this coil with another coil that has the wire wrapped around in the opposite direction.
93
The battery will still be connected with the negative terminal on the left.
94
Watch closely so you can see the difference.
96
The current still travels from the negative terminal through the coil and back to to positive terminal.
97
Notice that the electrons travel up the face of the coil, over the top and down the back
99
Use the to determine the NORTH end of the coil.
100
Grab the coil with your
101
Your fingers will follow the electron flow.
102
Curl your fingers over the top and down the back.
103
You thumb points to the end of the coil.
104
We now know the end of the coil.
105
and the around the coil.
106
Let’s try another example.
107
We’ll start with another coil.
108
The coil is attached to a potential source but the polarity is unknown.
109
We do know that is on the bottom of the coil
110
A B Using the determine which is the negative terminal. A B
111
A B Grab the coil with your so you thumb points
112
A B Your fingers now curl in the direction of
113
A B
114
A B B The must come from
115
A B B The must come from
116
A B Therefore is the B
118
Now the
119
There are 3 parts to the
120
An external magnetic field.
121
Remember that the magnetic field goes from to
122
Either a charge moving across the magnetic field.
123
Or current flow through a conductor that is in the magnetic field.
124
A force acting on the moving charge or current bearing wire.
125
I will now show you how to apply the
126
Point your fingers
127
Or the same direction as the
128
Your thumb points in the direction of negative
129
And the acting on the current bearing wire or moving negative charge is out of the palm.
131
First point your fingers of your left hand
132
Notice that your fingers point in the same direction as the magnetic field shown by the symbol
133
Your thumb points in the direction of negative current flow
134
And the force acting on the moving charge or current bearing wire is out of the palm.
135
So the force acting on the wire is
136
Let’s try another example
137
Shown here is a current bearing wire placed between the north and south poles of a horseshoe magnet.
138
The electron flow in the enlarged section of wire is back into the page as shown by the arrows.
139
We can find the direction of the force on the wire using the
140
Using your left hand point your fingers
141
Now, keeping your fingers pointed south, rotate your hand so you thumb points in the same direction as the current flow.
143
The force on this section of wire is out of your palm or
144
Out of palm Points at south Negative electron flow
145
A current bearing wire is place between two bar magnets. What is the direction of the force on the wire?
146
We know that the magnetic field between the bar magnets is from the north pole to the south pole?
147
We also know that the current (electron flow) is out of the negative terminal, through the circuit and back to the positive terminal.
148
Therefore the current flow in the section of wire between the bar magnets is toward the top of the page.
149
We can now use the to find the direction of the force on the wire.
150
Point the fingers of your in the direction of the magnetic field, south. Fingers point south
151
Your thumb points in direction if the negative current flow. Fingers point south
152
The force on the wire is shown by a vector coming out of your palm. Fingers point south
153
The force on the wire is shown by a vector coming out of your palm.
