Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.

In an AC system the voltage alternates 120 times a second. This alternation causes the magnetic field that surrounds the wire in the primary coil to rise and collapse along with the voltage. This magnetic field is also known as magnetic flux. When the flux collapses and rises in the primary winding of the transformer this flux cuts the secondary coils and induces a current to flow in the secondary winding of the transformer. Depending on the amount of coil turns in the secondary, the AC voltage can be higher (step up) or lower (step down) than the primary voltage.

How the voltage is induced in a single phase transformer?

The changing magnetic flux in the iron core of the transformer induces a voltage in the windings.


Relationship between flux density and field strength?

In simple terms, if flux density increases, then field strength increases and vice versa. The flux density is equivalent to field strength times with a variable.


How iron area is decreased when flux density is more?

Your question is unclear, but flux density is a function of the cross-sectional area of the magnetic circuit in which the magnetic flux is established.Flux density (symbol: B) is defined as 'the flux per unit area'. If the flux is measured in webers (pronounced 'vay-bers') and the cross-sectional area is measured in square metres, then the flux density is measured in teslas(symbol: T) which is a special name given to a weber per square metre.


What is flux density?

Something that which produces a magnetic fieldThe magnetic field that surrounds a magnet is made up of magnetic flux (symbol, the Greek letter 'phi'), usually represented as lines in field diagrams. The SI unit for measuring magnetic flux is the weber (pronounced 'vay-ber'). The intensity of this flux (the closeness of the lines in diagrams) is called the flux density (symbol: B). Flux density is greatest in the areas nearest a magnet's poles. Flux Density is defined as 'flux per unit area', and is measured in webers per square metre which, in SI, is given the special name, the 'tesla'.


What is the Formula for power flux density?

I assume you mean flux density, In which case the formula is flux per m2 or (Wb)/m2 This unit is known as the Tesla (T). Therefore: (T)=(Wb)/(m2) hope this helps sinewave

Can you use what was a 3 phase motor as a windmill that produces single phase power?

No. To generate an electrical voltage you have to move the flux of a magnet through a coil of wire or vice versa. In a three phase motor there is no magnetic flux in the armature to cut the stator coils.


What is flux density related to?

In case of electrostatics, flux density = electric field intensity and in case of magnetism, flux density = magnetic field induction


How flux is related to speed?

Flux is related to the speed of change in a physical quantity through the concept of flux density. Flux density is the amount of flux passing through a unit area per unit time. The faster the change in the physical quantity, the higher the flux density.


What is the quantity symbol for electirc flux density?

How do you calculate total flux when flux density and magnetic field strength has been?

once flux density is known multiply to it the area perpendicular to the flux lines . the product is the total flux passing through the area. If field strength is known , get the flux density by pultiplying to it the permeability of the medium. then flux can be obtained as above. from : govind Kunkolienker kunkolienker@yahoo.com

What is Magnetic flux density unit?

"Magnetic flux density" is also known as the magnetic field,The SI unit for this is the Tesla, written as T.CommentMagnetic flux density is not "also known as the magnetic field". It describes the intensity of a magnetic field.
