ELECTROMAGNETIC RELAY

Figure 6 1. 2. In circuit 1 when the switch is closed, current flows and the iron rocker arm is attracted to the electromagnet and pushes the contacts together. Circuit 2 is now switched on. Circuit 2 may have a large current flowing through it to operate powerful motors or very bright lights. When the switch is opened, the electromagnet releases the rocker arm and the spring moves the contact apart. Circuit 2 is now switched off. The advantage of using a relay is that a small current (circuit 1) can be used to switch on and off a circuit with a large current (circuit 2).

The varying current in the coils of the electromagnet changes the strength of the magnetic field and causes the diaphragm to be attracted by a varying force. This causes the diaphragm to vibrate and reproduce the sound.

When a current carrying conductor is placed in the magnetic field of a permanent magnet as shown in figure 6, the interaction between the two magnetic fields (magnetic field of the permanent magnet and magnetic field produced by the current-carrying conductor) produced a force on the conductor. This produced a resultant field known as a as shown in figure 7.

The two forces which are in opposite directions constitute a couple which produces a turning effect and the coil rotates in a clockwise.

Ammeter

Figure 9 1. 2. 3. 4. Figure 9 shows the internal parts of the ammeter or voltmeter. When a current passes through the coil, equal and opposite parallel forces act respectively on the sides of the coil beside the poles of the permanent magnet. This pair of forces causes the coil to rotate until it is stopped by the control springs. When there is no current flow, the forces no longer exist. The control springs bring the coil back to its original position and the pointer goes back to zero deflection.

Direct current motor

1. 2. 3.

The direct current motor (d.c motor) uses the turning effect on a current-carrying coil in a magnetic field. A d.c motor consists of a rectangular coil of wire placed between two permanent magnets. Both ends of the coil are soldered to a commutator made of two semicircular copper rings.

The ______________________________ in the primary coils causes the _________________________________ the secondary coil. The changing of the magnetic flux produces an induced e.m.f across the secondary coil with the same frequency as the electrical supply. Note: The primary coil must be connected to an a.c supply an not d.c supply. This is because an induced e.m.f will not be produced in the secondary coil.
