General Features of batteries

2.1.1
The relationship between cell and batteries
Generally, a cell delivers a certain voltage that is a function of what chemical reactions are
taking place to generate the voltage. The purpose of an electric cell is to convert chemical energy into
electrical energy. To get increased voltage one must add cells in series. The primary difference between
a battery and a cell is a battery can be composed of a number of cells. A cell can be a battery. For
example, the 9-volt batteries have 6 individual cells inside them.
2.1.2
The basic operation of battery
A simple cell comprises two dissimilar conductors (electrodes) in an electrolyte. Such a cell is
shown in Figure 1, comprising copper and zinc electrodes. An electric current is found to flow between
the electrodes. Other possible electrode pairs exist, including zinc-lead and zinc-iron. The electrode
potential (i.e. the p.d. measured between the electrodes) varies for each pair of metals. By knowing the
e.m.f. of each metal with respect to some standard electrode the e.m.f. of any pair of metals may be
determined.

Electric current and quantity of electricity
If an electric pressure or voltage is applied across any material there is a tendency for
electrons to move in a particular direction. This movement of free electrons, known as drift,
constitutes an electric current flow. Thus current is the rate of movement of charge and is
measured in ampere.
The unit used to measure the quantity of electrical charge Q is called the coulomb C
(where 1 coulomb = 6.24 x 1018 electrons).
Generally, if I is the current in amperes and t the time in seconds during which the
current flows, then I x t represents the quantity of electrical charge in coulombs.
Quantity of electrical charge transferred,

Potential difference
For a continuous current to flow

between two points in a circuit a potential
difference (p.d.) or voltage, V, is required
Current
between them; a complete conducting path is
flow
A
necessary to and from the source of electrical
energy. The unit of p.d. is the volt, V
Figure 1 shows a cell connected across
a filament lamp. Current flow, by convention,
is considered as flowing from the positive
V
terminal of the cell, around the circuit to the
Figure 1
negative terminal.
The flow of electric current is subject to friction. This friction, or opposition, is called
resistance R and is the property of a conductor that limits current. The unit of resistance is the
ohm.
$!
%&&'!"# (
!"#
''!#
An ammeter is an instrument used to measure current and must be connected in series
with the circuit. Figure 1 show an ammeter connected in series with the lamp to measure the
current flowing through it. Since all the current in the circuit passes through the ammeter it
must have a very low resistance.
A voltmeter is an instrument used to measure p.d. and must be connected in parallel
with the part of the circuit whose p.d. is required. In Figure 1, a voltmeter is connected in
parallel with the lamp to measure the p.d. across it. To avoid a significant current flowing
through it a voltmeter must have a very high resistance.
An ohmmeter is an instrument for measuring resistance. A multimeter, or universal
instrument, may be used to measure voltage, current and resistance.

3.4
Resistance and resistivity
The resistance of an electrical conductor depends on 4 factors, these being:

a) The length of the conductor
Resistance, R, is directly proportional to length, l, of a conductor, i.e. R l.
b) The cross-sectional area of the conductor
Resistance, R, is inversely proportional to cross-sectional area, a, of a conductor. i.e.
R 1/a
c) The type of material
Since R l and R 1/a then R l/a. By inserting a constant of proportionality into this
relationship the type of material used may be taken into account. The constant of
proportionality is known as the resistivity of the material and is given the symbol
.Thus,
)*
d) The temperature of the material

towards that junction is equal to the total current flowing away from the junction, i.e. I = 0
Thus , referring to figure 1:
current towards = current flowing away

I1 + I2+ I3 = I4 + I5
I1 + I2 + (- I3 ) + (- I4 ) + (-I5 ) = 0
I= 0

The superposition theorem states:
In any network made up of linear resistances and containing more than one source of e.m.f, the
resultant current flowing in any branch is the algebraic sum of the currents that would flow in
that branch if each source was considered separately, all other sources being replaced at that
time by their respective internal resistances.

5.1.1
Associated Quantities
-
A capacitor is an electrical device that is used to store electrical energy.

The unit of capacitance is Farad. The symbol of capacitance is C.
Capacitance is defined to be the amount of charge Q stored in between the two
plates for a potential difference or voltage V existing across the plates.
In other words:
A capacitor has capacitance of one Farad when current charging of one Ampere
flows in one second. This process causing a transferring of one volt in plates
potential.
The Farad unit is too large for practical as charge ratio to its potential difference.
uses. Thus microfarad (F) , nanofarad (nF) or Pico farad (pF) is used as a suitable
unit for capacitor: Microfarad (F)
1F = 1/1,000,000F = 10-6F
Nanofarad (nF)
1nF = 1/1,000,000,000 = 10-9F

Capacitor Construction
Figure 1: Capacitor construction

In its most elementary state a capacitor consists of two metal plates separated by a
certain distance d, in between the plates lies a dielectric material with dielectric constant =o,
where o is the dielectric of air.
The dielectric material allows for charge to accumulate between the capacitor plates.
Air (actually vacuum) has the lowest dielectric value of o = 8.854 x 10-12 Farads/meter. All other
materials have higher dielectric values, since they are higher in density and can therefore
accumulate more charge.
The Physical meaning of capacitance can be seen by relating it to the physical
characteristics of the two plates, so that, the capacitance is related to the dielectric of the
material in between the plates, the square area of a plate and the distance between the plates
by the formula:
Clearly, the larger the area of the plate the more charge can be accumulated and hence
the larger the capacitance. Also, note that as the distance d increases the Capacitance
decreases since the charge cannot be contained as 'densely' as before.
By applying a voltage to a capacitor and measuring the charge on the plates, the ratio of
the charge Q to the voltage V will give the capacitance value of the capacitor and is therefore
given as: C = Q/V this equation can also be re-arranged to give the more familiar formula for the
quantity of charge on the plates as: Q = C x V.

Circuit with capacitive load
Figure 5
Mathematically, the capacitance of the device relates the voltage difference between
the plates and the charge accumulation associated with this voltage:
q(t)=CV(t)
equation (1)
Capacitors which obey the relationship of equation (1) are linear capacitors, since the
potential difference between the conductive surfaces is linearly related to the charge on the
surfaces. Note that the charges on the right and left plate of the capacitor in Figure 5 are equal
and opposite. Thus, if we increase the charge on one plate, the charge on the other plate must
decrease by the same amount. This is consistent with our previous assumption electrical circuit
elements cannot accumulate charge, and current entering one terminal of a capacitor must
leave the other terminal of the capacitor.
So, current is defined as the time rate of change of charge,

Construction of inductor
An inductor is usually constructed as a coil of conducting material, typically
copper wire, wrapped around a core either of air or ferrous material.
Core materials with higher permeability than air confine the magnetic field
closely to the inductor, thereby increasing the inductance. Inductors come in many
shapes. Most are constructed as enamel coated wire wrapped around a ferrite with wire
exposed on the outside, while some enclose the wire completely in ferrite and are called
shielded.
1

Some inductors have an adjustable core, which enables changing of the
inductance. Small inductors can be etched directly onto a printed board by laying out
the trace in a spiral pattern.

Circuit with inductive load

6.3.1
Electromagnetic induction
When a conductor is moved across a magnetic field so as to cut through the lines of
force (or flux, an electromotive force (e.m.f) is produced in the conductor. If the conductor
forms part of a closed circuit then the e.m.f produced causes an electric current to flow round
the circuit. Hence an e.m.f is induced in the conductor as a result of its movement across the
magnetic field. This effect is known a electromagnetic induction.
6.3.2
Faradays Law
Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction state:
i)
An induced e.m.f is setup whenever the magnetic field linking that circuit
changes
ii)
The magnitude of the induced e.m.f in any circuit is proportional to the rate of
change of the magnetic flux linking the circuit.
6.3.3
Mathematical relationship between the induced e.m.f and the network

Faraday noted that the e.m.f induced in a loop is proportional to the rate of change of
magnetic flux through it:
Where; e is the electromotive force induced (in volts)

N is the number of turns of the coil
d is the change of flux in Weber, Wb
dt is the time taken for the flux to change in seconds.
*Notice the negative sign is the induced current will now produce an induced magnetic
filed. The direction of that magnetic field will be opposite to the direction the flux is
changing.
6.3.4
Self-inductance and the induced e.m.f

Inductance is the name given to the property of a circuit whereby there is an e.m.f
induced into the circuit by change of flux linkages produced by a current change.
When the e.m.f is induced in the same circuit as that in which the current is changing,
the property is called self-inductance, L.
Induced e.m.f is the product of self-inductance and the rate of change in current
Where; e is induced e.m.f (in volts)

L is self-inductance in Henry
di is the change of current in Amperes
dt is the time taken for the current to change in seconds.

6.3.5

Where; N is number of turns of coil

L is length of coil
A is surface area

6.3.6
The factors that influence inductance

A component called an inductor is used when the property of inductance is required in a
circuit. The basic form of an inductor is simply a coil of wire.
Factors which affect the inductance of an inductor include:
i) The number of turns of wire (N) more turns the higher the inductance
ii) The cross-sectional area of the coil of wire (A) the greater the cross-sectional area
the higher the inductance
iii) The presence of magnetic core - when the coil is wound on an iron core, the same
current sets up a more concentrated magnetic field and the inductance is increased
iv) The way turns are arranged a short tick coil of wire has a higher inductance than
the along thin one.

7.1.1
The principles of magnetism and its characteristic
Magnetism is defined as the force produced by charge particles (electrons) of magnet. A

magnet is a material that generates a magnetic field.
A permanent magnet is a piece of ferromagnetic material (such as iron, nickel or cobalt)
which has properties of attracting other pieces of these materials. A permanent magnet will
position itself in a north and south direction when freely suspended. The north-seeking end of
the magnet is called the north pole, N, and the south-seeking end the south pole, S.
The direction of a line of flux is from the north pole to the south pole on the outside of
the magnet and is then assumed to continue through the magnet back to the point at which it
emerged at the north pole. Thus such lines of flux always form complete closed loops or paths,
they never intersect and always have a definite direction. The laws of magnetic attraction and
repulsion can be demonstrated by using two bar magnets. In Figure 1(a), with unlike poles
adjacent, attraction takes place. Lines of flux are imagined to contract and the magnets try to
pull together. The magnetic field is strongest in between the two magnets, shown by the lines of
flux being close together. In Figure 1(b), with similar poles adjacent (i.e. two north poles),
repulsion occurs, i.e. the two north poles try to push each other apart, since magnetic flux lines
running side by side in the same direction repel.

Magnetic field
The area around a magnet is called the magnetic field and it is in this area that the
effects of the magnetic force produced by the magnet can be detected. A magnetic field cannot
be seen, felt, smelt or heard and therefore is difficult to represent. Michael Faraday suggested
that the magnetic field could be represented pictorially, by imagining the field to consist of lines
of magnetic flux, which enables investigation of the distribution and density of the field to be
carried out.

Hysteresis and Hysteresis Loop

Hysteresis is the lagging effect of flux density B whenever there are changes in the
magnetic field strength H. When an initially unmagnetized ferromagnetic material is subjected
to a varying magnetic field strength H, the flux density B produced in the material varies as
shown in Figure 4, the arrows indicating the direction of the cycle. Figure 4 is known as a
hysteresis loop.
From Figure 4, distance OX indicates the residual flux density or remanence, OY
indicates the coercive force, and PP is the saturation flux density.
Hysteresis results in a dissipation of energy which appears as a heating of the magnetic
material. The energy loss associated with hysteresis is proportional to the area of the
hysteresis loop.
The area of a hysteresis loop varies with the type of material. The area, and thus the
energy loss, is much greater for hard materials than for soft materials.

Magnetic field due to an electric current
Let a piece of wire be arranged to pass vertically through a horizontal sheet of

cardboard, on which is placed some iron filings, as shown in Figure 5(a).
If a current is now passed through the wire, then the iron filings will form a definite
circular field pattern with the wire at the centre, when the cardboard is gently tapped. By
placing a compass in different positions the lines of flux are seen to have a definite direction as
shown in Figure 5(b).
Current direction
Cardboard
E
Magnetic field
Figure 5(a)
Figure 5(b)
If the current direction is reversed, the direction of the lines of flux is also reversed. The
effect on both the iron filings and the compass needle disappears when the current is switched
off. The magnetic field is thus produced by the electric current. The magnetic flux produced has
the same properties as the flux produced by a permanent magnet. If the current is increased the
strength of the field increases and, as for the permanent magnet, the field strength decreases as
we move away from the current-carrying conductor.
waqn
Magnetic field is surrounding a conductor that carries current, thus the form of
magnetic field that surrounds a straight conductor is in concentric cylindrical (Figure 6(a)).
The direction of magnetic field flux depends on the direction of current that flows in the
conductor. Figure 6(b) shows the direction of flux, which is according to clock-wise when current
enters the conductor (sign as + at the center of conductor). Meanwhile, Figure 6(c) shows the
opposite case, where the direction of current is exit from the conductor (sign as , where it
will produce magnetic field flux according to anti-clockwise).

A magnetic field set up by a long coil, or solenoid, is shown in Figure 7(a) and is seen to
be similar to that of a bar magnet. If the solenoid is wound on an iron bar, as shown in Figure
7(b), an even stronger magnetic field is produced, the iron becoming magnetized and behaving
like a permanent magnet.

Electromagnetic induction
7.6.1 Laws of electromagnetic induction
Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction state:
i.
An induced e.m.f. is set up whenever the magnetic field linking that circuit
changes.
ii.
The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. in any circuit is proportional to the rate of
change of the magnetic flux linking the circuit.
Lenzs law states:
The direction of an induced e.m.f. is always such that it tends to set up a current
opposing the motion or the change of flux responsible for inducing that e.m.f..
UNIT 7 MAGNETIC
Flemings Right-hand rule states:

Let the thumb, first finger and second finger of the right hand be extended such that
they are all at right angles to each other (as shown in Figure 11). If the first finger points
in the direction of the magnetic field, the thumb points in the direction of motion of the
conductor relative to the magnetic Figure 11 field, then the second finger will point in
the direction of the induced e.m.f.
Figure 11
In a generator, conductors forming an electric circuit are made to move through
a magnetic field. By Faradays law an e.m.f. is induced in the conductors and thus a
source of e.m.f. is created. A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical
energy. The induced e.m.f. E set up between the ends of the conductor shown in Figure
12 is given by:
E = Blv Volts
where B, the flux density, is measured in teslas, l, the length of conductor in the
magnetic field, is measured in metres, and v, the conductor velocity, is measured in
metres per second.
Figure 12
If the conductor moves at an angle to the magnetic field (instead of at 900 as assumed
above) then
E = Blv sin Volt
0
Example 1
A conductor 300 mm long moves at a uniform speed of 4 m/s at right-angles to a uniform magnetic field
of flux density 1.25 T. Determine the current flowing in the conductor when
(a) its ends are open-circuited,
(b) its ends are connected to a load of 20 resistance.
Solution
When a conductor moves in a magnetic field it will have an e.m.f. induced in it but this e.m.f. can only
produce a current if there is a closed circuit.
Induced e.m.f. E = Blv =(1.25)(300/1000)(4) = 1.5 V
UNIT 7 MAGNETIC
(a)
(b)
If the ends of the conductor are open circuited no current will flow even though 1.5 V has been
induced.
From Ohms law, I = E/R =1.5/20 = 0.075 A or 75 mA
Example 2
At what velocity must a conductor 75 mm long cut a magnetic field of flux density 0.6 T if an e.m.f. of 9 V
is to be induced in it? Assume the conductor, the field and the direction of
motion are mutually perpendicular.
Solution
Induced e.m.f. E = Blv, hence velocity v = E/Bl
Hence v = 9/(0.6)(75x10-3)=(9 x 103)/(0.6 x 75)= 200 m/s
Example 3
A conductor moves with a velocity of 15 m/s at an angle of (a) 90, (b) 60 and (c) 30 to a magnetic field
produced between two square-faced poles of side length 2 cm. If the flux
leaving a pole face is 5 Wb, find the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. in each case.
Solution
v = 15 m/s; length of conductor in magnetic field, l = 2 cm = 0.02 m;
A = 2 x 2 cm2 = 4 x 10-4 m2, = 5 x 10-6 Wb
(a)
(b)
(c)
E90 = Blv sin 90 =(/A)lv sin 90 =(5 X 10-6)(0.02)(15)(1)/(4x10-4) = 3.75 mV

E60 = Blv sin 60 = E90 sin 60 = 3.75 sin 60 = 3.25 mV
E30 = Blv sin 30 = E90 sin 30 = 3.75 sin 30 = 1.875 mV
