Magnetic effectMagnetic effectWhen current flows in a conductor, a magnetic field is produced around it.
Magnetic field can be observed by sprinkling iron filings around wire on a piece of cardboard.
The direction of field can be obtained by
moving a compass
around the wire.

Magnetic effectMagnetic effectThe 2-dimensional view of magnetic field due to current in straight wire is easier to draw.
Current up: Current coming out of paper
Current down: Current going into paper
As distance from wire increases, magnetic field gets weaker (as shown by
increasing distance between lines).

SolenoidSolenoidCurrent, I in circular coil creates magnetic field where it is strongest along the axis.
The direction of the field, B is
determined using right-hand grip rule (R.H.).
Solenoid is formed from many circular coils of wire uniformly wound in the shape of a cylinder through which electric current flows.
Magnetic field pattern produced by a current in a solenoid is almost identical to that of a bar magnet.

SolenoidSolenoid
To find the N-pole of solenoid, grip it with right hand, the fingers curl in the direction of current, and the thumb points in the direction of N-pole.
Solenoids are important
because they can create controlled magnetic
fields and can be used as
electromagnets

SolenoidSolenoidThe magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by:
B = µnI
B = magnetic field magnitude (teslas)µ = magnetic permeability (henries/meter or newtons/ampere2)n = turns density (number of turns/meter) I = current (amperes)
n = N / hN = number of turnsh = length of solenoid (meters)
This slide for extra information only.
µ = ku0magnetic constant or permeability of free space, µ0 = 4π x 10-7 H/mk = relative permeability

ElectromagnetElectromagnetAn
electromagnet is made by winding a coil of wire around
a soft iron core, which
loses its magnetism when the current is
switched off, unlike steel
which is magnetized
permanently.In electromechanical devices, direct current is used to create strong magnetic field for drawing iron core or plunger into it, such as in switches and relays.

Electromagnetic Electromagnetic inductioninduction
Electromagnetic induction is the production of induced e.m.f. in conductor when there is relative motion between conductor and magnetic field.
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic inductionThe e.m.f. induced in a conductor is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the conductor.An e.m.f. is induced if wire cuts across magnetic field.No e.m.f. is induced if the wire moved parallel to magnetic field; the magnetic lines of forces are not cut by the wire.

Electromagnetic Electromagnetic inductioninductionLenz’s law
The direction of the induced current produces an effect that opposes the change in the magnetic flux.An e.m.f. is induced in a solenoid when a magnet is moved into or out of solenoid. The direction of induced current is obtained using Lenz’s law.
Induced current produces N-pole to repel the N-pole of magnet

TransformersTransformersTransformer is an application of electromagnetic induction. It consists of a primary coil and a secondary coil wound on a soft iron core.
Transformer is used to step-up or step-down the voltage of an a.c. supply, depending on where the a.c. source is applied.

Generation of Generation of ElectricityElectricityMany sources of energy are used to generate
electricity, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
Examples:HydroPotential energy of water in a dam converted to kinetic energyNatural gas, diesel, coalUsed as fuel to heat water in boilers to produce steamBiomassWaste material used as fuel, or decomposition of waste for methane gas for use as fuel.Nuclear energyNuclear fission of uranium releases heat used to heat water.SunlightSolar cells convert sunlight into electricity.WindStrong wind rotates windmill-like blades to rotate turbines.

Transmission of Transmission of ElectricityElectricityAlternating voltage is generated at power station as
its voltage can be transformed with transformers.
A step-up transformer changes voltage to 320 kV or 500 kV.
Transmission at high voltage reduces current in cables; thus reducing power loss greatly.
Power loss as heat in cables = I2R

Transmission of Transmission of ElectricityElectricityVoltage is stepped down in stages to, say 240 V using
transformers before supplying to consumers.
The National grid network is an interconnection of various power stations in the country.
It ensures:• minimal disruption to power supply through fast backups• efficient power generation by matching demand with supply• that power stations can shut down for regular maintenance
