Electromagnetic Induction Cutting a wire through a magnetic field induces a p. d. If a current is induced (need a circuit) this is the DYNAMO EFFECT Magnetic field lines going into screen We can increase the voltage by: • moving the wire quicker • having a stronger magnetic field; • using a coil of wire consisting of more turns or a larger area Wire 1 Solenoid

Transformers p. d. across primary = number of turns on primary p. d. across

Transformers p. d. across primary = number of turns on primary p. d. across secondary number of turns on secondary Vp = Np Vs Ns Only work using alternating current (a. c. ) a. c. in primary coil induces a magnetic field. Magnetic field induces a p. d in the secondary coil 2400 turns Primary Coil 240 turns Secondary Coil

Transformers and the National Grid Increases voltage Power station Step up transformer Decreases voltage

Transformers and the National Grid Increases voltage Power station Step up transformer Decreases voltage Step down transformer High voltage = low current so less energy lost Homes Low voltage = high current Can use in homes safely
