The Motor Effect Charge deflection by a magnetic
The Motor Effect
Charge deflection by a magnetic field S + N Electric charges are deflected by magnetic fields provided they are not travelling parallel to the field lines. Positive and negative charges are deflected in opposite directions.
The motor effect When a current carrying conductor carrying an electric current is placed in a magnetic field, it will experience a force provided that the conductor is not placed parallel to the field lines. This is called the motor effect. Motor effect - Fendt + S +- - -+ N +
The force increases if: – the strength of the magnetic field is increased – the current is increased The direction of the force is reversed if either the direction of the current or the direction of the magnetic field is reversed. Motor effect - Fendt

The electric motor Electric current flowing around the coil of the electric motor produces oppositely directed forces on each side of the coil. These forces cause the coil to rotate. Every half revolution the split ring commutator causes the current in the coil to reverse otherwise the coil would stop in the vertical position. Electric motor - Fendt

The loudspeaker The sound signal consists of an alternating current supplied by the amplifier. This current flows through the coil of the loudspeaker. Due to the motor effect, the magnetic field around the coil causes the coil to vibrate in step with the alternating current. The coil causes the diaphragm (speaker cone) to vibrate in step with the original sound signal. The diaphragm causes air to vibrate and so produces a sound wave.

Electromagnetic induction If an electrical conductor cuts through magnetic field lines, a voltage is induced across the ends of the conductor. If the wire is part of a complete circuit, a current is induced in the wire. This is called electromagnetic induction and is sometimes called the generator effect. Generator - Fendt
If a magnet is moved into a coil of wire, a voltage is induced across the ends of the coil. If the direction of motion, or the polarity of the magnet, is reversed, then the direction of the induced voltage and the induced current are also reversed. Electromagnetic induction also occurs if the magnetic field is stationary and the coil is moved. Generator - Fendt
The size of the induced voltage increases when: – – the speed of the movement increases the strength of the magnetic field increases the number of turns on the coil increases the area of the coil is greater. Generator - Fendt
Alternating Current Generators Most electricity is produced using the ‘generator effect’. The simplest generators and the types used in power stations produce alternating current (A. C. ) Generator - Fendt

This like an electric motor in reverse. As the coil is rotated electromagnetic induction occurs. An alternating voltage is induced in the coil. An alternating current is drawn off through two slip rings. The faster the coil is rotated: - the greater is the amplitude of the voltage and current - the higher is the frequency of the a. c. Generator - Fendt
Bicycle generator When the wheel turns the magnet is made to rotate next to the fixed coil of wire. Electromagnetic induction occurs and a alternating voltage is induced in the coil. This causes an alternating current to flow to the light bulb of the bicycle. Generator - Fendt

The transformer A transformer is a device that is used to change one alternating voltage level to another. circuit symbol Transformer - e. Chalk
Structure of a transformer A transformer consists of at least two coils of wire wrapped around a laminated iron core. PRIMARY COIL of Np turns SECONDARY COIL of Ns turns PRIMARY VOLTAGE Vp SECONDARY VOLTAGE Vs laminated iron core Transformer - e. Chalk
How a transformer works When an alternating voltage, Vp is applied to the primary coil of Np turns it causes an alternating to flow in this coil. This current causes a changing magnetic field in the laminated iron core which cuts across the secondary coil of Ns turns. Electromagnetic induction occurs in this coil which produces an alternating voltage, Vs. Transformer - e. Chalk
Question Why can a transformer not change the level of the voltage output of a battery? – A battery produces a steady (DC) voltage. – This voltage would cause a constant direct current in the primary coil of a transformer. – This current would produce an unchanging magnetic field in the iron core. – This unchanging magnetic field would NOT cause electromagnetic induction in the secondary coil. – There would therefore be no secondary voltage.

Step-up transformers In a step-up transformer the voltage across the secondary coil is greater than the voltage across the primary coil. The secondary turns must be greater than the primary turns.

Chalk
Transformers and the National Grid The National Grid is the system of cables used to deliver electrical power from power stations to consumers. The higher the voltage used, the greater is the efficiency of energy transmission. Lower voltages result in higher electric currents and greater energy loss to heat due to the resistance of the cables.
At power stations the output voltage of the generators is stepped up by transformers from 25 k. V to 132 k. V. The voltage may be further increased to up to 400 k. V for transmission over long distance pylon lines.
The voltage is reduced in stages by step-down transformers to different levels for different types of consumer. The lowest level is 230 V for domestic use. The final stepdown transformer will be at sub station within a few hundred metres of each group of houses.
Question 1 Why is electrical energy transmitted over the National Grid in the form of alternating current? – – To maximise efficiency high voltages must be used. Voltage therefore needs to be changed in level. Transformers are needed to change voltage levels. Transformers only work with alternating current.
