Moving a conductor through a magnetic field a voltage is induced in the conductor is called what type of induction?
Moving a conductor through a magnetic field will produce alternatinc current (AC).
What are 3 factors which affect the magnitude of magnetic force on current-carrying conductors?
Electric current, magnetic field intensity, length of the conductor, angle between the electric current and magnetic field
Does the magnetic field increase or decrease if the current is decreased?
An increase in an electrical current will cause magnetism to increase but a decrease in an electrical current will cause magnetism to decrease.
When a compass is placed near a conductor where current flows its needle would deflect what does this indicate?
This proves that a magnetic field is developed around the conductor wen current flows through it...
Explain what happens when a long straight conductor is moved through a uniform magnetic field at a constant velocity Assuming that the conductor moves perpendicularly to the field?
Interesting question. Because Fleming's right hand rule tells us that a conductor carrying a current perpedicular to a magnetic field will move in a particular direction we know that movement, current and magnetic field are related. So if we take the current away and instead force the conductor to move as described then we would observe a current in the wire. However, you have not said that your conductor is connected in a circuit - in which case the charge carriers in the conductor will tend to one side like a bar magnet.AnswerThe original answer is incorrect. A voltage would be induced into the conductor. No current would flow unless the conductor forms a continuous circuit.
If an electrical current passes through a conductor what two things are generated?
If an electrical current passes through a conductor, there is an induced voltage (because no conductor has perfectly zero ohms), resulting in power dissipation, and there is a magnetic field, which can interact with other conductors in the vicinity of the first.
How does an water make an electrical generator work?
When a conductor of electricity moves through a stationary magnetic field, an electric current is induced in the conductor. A hydroelectric generator uses flowing water to spin an axle that is wrapped in conductive wires in a strong magnetic field. Current is generated in the wires, and that current is directed into the electrical grid. The actual process is somewhat more complex but that's the basics. The inverse is also true - when a stationary conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field, current is generated in the conductor. This is how an antenna works - radio waves generate a changing magnetic field which creates electrical current in the conductive antenna which is directed into the electronics in the radio where it is amplified so you can hear it.
If a conductor carrying an alternating current is formed into a coil the magnetic field that is generated?
If the current is alternating, the magnetic field will also be alternating.
How does electromagnetic induction produce induced current?
Before you can understand how electrical energy is supplied by your electric company, you need to know how it is produced. A magnet and a conductor, such as a wire, can be used to induce a current in the conductor. The key is motion. An electric current is induced in a conductor when the conductor moves through a magnetic field. Generating an electric current from the motion of a conductor through a magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction. Current that is generated in this way is called induced current. To induce a current in a conductor, either the conductor can move through the magnetic field or the magnet itself can move.
How do electrical energy generated?
It is usually generated in a generator; read the Wikipedia article on "Generator" for more details. Briefly, this uses the physical principle that if a material is moved through a magnetic field, a voltage is generated. If such a material is a conductor, and appropriately connected, this voltage will cause an electrical current to flow.
What is the process in which electrical current is generated by placing a wire in magnetic field?
electromagnetic induction
If a conductor carrying an alternating current were formed into a coil the magnetic field that is generated?
Will cancel out and become zero
How do you convert magnetic energy into light energy?
Move a conductor through a changing magnetic field and run a light off the current generated.
When a current carrying conductor is placed into a magnetic field a voltage will be generated perpendicular to both the current and the field This effect is called?
Hall Effect
How can electricity produce by using magnet?
Electricity is generated when a piece of conductive metal (such as copper) is passed through a magnetic field (or if the magnetic field is moved around the metal). A generator will have a copper wire in the center, surrounded by a magnet shaped like a torus (donut shaped, wire is in the hole in the middle). The wire is stationary. Electricity is generated when the magnet is spun (moving the magnetic field around the wire). This will generate an AC current (alternating current).
How you get electricity?
Electricity is a concept and exists everywhere, even in vacuum. Hence you can not "get" electricity. An electrical current can be generated by connecting two voltage sources of different potential with a conductor. A voltage can be generated with an electromagnetic generator. An electromagnetic generator generates voltages by moving electrons in a conductor through a magnetic field, causing a force upon the electrons.
What are ways magnets can produce electricity?
If a conductor moves in a magnetic field, a voltage will be induced. This can be tapped to get an electrical current.
