Presentation Transcript

  1. 15 ELECTROMAGNETIC MACHINESMagnetic field patterns • Investigate patterns of magnetic fields lines around magnets, wires and coils

  2. Faraday’s law • Investigate the laws of electromagnetic induction

  3. Transformer design • Review principles of transformer operation • Explain optimisation of transformer design in the context of magnetic circuits

  4. Eddy currents and Lenz’s law • Observe and explain the effects of eddy currents in terms of Lenz’s law

  5. Dynamos and generators • Explain the operation of dynamos and generators in terms of laws of electromagnetic induction • Learn how generator design is optimised for maximum output

  6. The catapult effect • Observe and explain the forces on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field • Explain how this effect is used in d.c. electric motors

  7. Building electric motors • Build and test a simple d.c. Motor • Compare advantages and disadvantages of d.c. motors versus induction motors

  8. Generators and motors compared • Learn about similarities between them • Explain operation under loads • Derive the relation F = I l B

  9. Starter: Electromagnetism revision Generate questions from these answers: • The product of the flux multiplied by the number of turns. • Rate of change of flux linkage. • Because the direction of the EMF opposes the change producing it. • To minimise energy losses due to eddy currents. • Measure the gradient of the graph of flux against time. • As short and fat as possible. • As short and straight as possible. • In phase with the alternating current. • 90o out of phase with the flux. • Because eddy currents circulate in the rotor, generating their own magnetic fields which interact with the rotating flux. • As small an air gap as possible.
