Matching skip

  1. For finding the direction of the magnetic force acting on a charge moving across a magnetic field
  2. arrangement of greater number of turns on the secondary than on the primary
  3. Don't really know. Could be molten currents beneath crust, moving charges. or convection currents combined with rotational effects of the earth.
  4. microscopic cluster of atoms with their magnetic fields aligned, domains perfectly magnetized
  5. Thumb along the wire, curl fingers around wire to find direction of magnetic field, compass needle with point in that direction, tangent to the field lines
  6. The induced voltage in a coil is proportional to the product of the number of loops and the rate at which the magnetic field changes within these loops. or: An electric field is created in any region of space in which a magnetic field is changing with time. The magnitude of the created electric field is proportional to the rate at which the magnetic field changes. The direction of the created electric field is at right angles to the changing magnetic field.
  7. generate powerful magnetic field indefinitely without using any power. Use superconducting wire instead of iron.

Short Answer skip






Multiple Choice skip

  1. How do you make a magnet?
  2. Why does the current in a transformer intensify if you put a magnet through the primary and secondary loops
  3. What creates a magnetic field?
  4. Primary
  5. Maxwell's law

True or False skip

  1. How does the law of conservation of energy hold true in electromagnetic induction
    brush against stationary contacts

     

  2. magnetic field lines
    lines that reveal the shape of a magnetic field. Direction: from north to south pole. Lines closer together indicate stronger field.

     

  3. How fast does an electromagnetic wave move?
    Hold a strong magnet up to it for a very long time until the domains align. Helps to tap, stroke or nudge because helps to align domains.

     

  4. Relative motion
    Only thing that electromagnetic induction depends on. Doesn't matter whether magnet or wire moves, either.

     

  5. When is the curl hand rule used?
    For finding the direction of the circular magnetic field around a current-carrying wire
