Magnetic EffectA magnetic field is generated around any conductor

when an electric current flows through it.

THE ELECTRIC MOTOR

• Indicate the polarity of the battery.

• Show how the direction of rotation supports your decision.

Electric Field Strength

N S

+ -Magnetic field Strength (B) measured

in Tesla’s (T)

Thrust

1 Tesla is the field strength when a current of 1 A flows through a

conductor and it experiences a force of 1N per meter of length.

(1A)

(1N)

(1T)

• Total number of field lines is called magnetic flux () measured in Webers (Wb)

= BA• = magnetic flux (Wb)

• B = magnetic field strength (T)

• A = area through which flux passes

= no

lines in

that

area

Generator - dynamo

• Direct current is produced.

Alternating and Direct Current • What would be the equivalent constant/direct current /voltage to

give the same effect as an alternating current?

Power Transmission

Reducing the current ensures less voltage/power lost in transmission.

25 000V

0,6A

0.6 A

Cable resistance

200 km 10 Ω

Voltage drop

V = IR = (0,6)(10) = 6.0 V

Power lost = VI

= (6.0)(0.6)

= 3.6 W

250 000V

0,06A

0.06 A

Cable resistance

200 km 10 Ω

Voltage drop

V = IR = (0,06)(10) = 0.6 V

Power lost = VI

= (0.6)(0.06)

= 0.036 W

P = VI = (25000)(0.6) = 15 000 W P = VI = (250000)(0.06) = 15 000 W
