 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

Permanent magnets
include natural magnets
and manufactured
magnets. Temporary
magnets include wound
coils of wire with a
source of electricity.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

With two magnets, unlike

magnetic poles attract
and like magnetic poles
repel.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

A compass aligns itself with a magnetic field.

 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

The molecular theory of

magnetism states that
ferromagnetic materials
are made up of a very
large number of
molecular domains that
can be arranged in either
an organized or
disorganized manner.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

Permeability values
refer to the relative
ability of a material
to conduct magnetic
flux.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

Electromagnetic field
strength is increased by
increasing the current
flow or by increasing the
number of coils, and
concentrated by adding
an iron core.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

Direct current applied to a

conductor causes the
current and magnetic field
to both increase instantly
to the maximum
magnitude and remain at
a constant value as long
as the current flows.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

Alternating current applied

to a conductor causes the
current to continuously
vary in magnitude and the
magnetic field to
continuously vary in
strength. Current flow and
magnetic field strength are
at their maximum value at
the positive and negative
peaks of the AC sine
wave.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

Conventional current flow

is current flow from
positive to negative.
Electron current flow is
current flow from
negative to positive.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

When an AC source
voltages rises and the
magnetic flux
expands around the
conductors, an
opposing voltage, or
counter-electromotive
force (CEMF), is
induced in the circuit.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

Mutual induction is the

process where one coil
induces current flow in
another coil.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

When a conductor is
wrapped with the left
hand with the thumb in
the direction of the
current flow, the fingers
point in the direction of
the magnetic field.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

When a coil is
wrapped with the right
hand with the fingers
in the direction of the
current flow, the thumb
points in the direction
of the north pole.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

The left-hand generator

rule explains the
relationship between the
direction of the magnetic
field, the direction of the
motion of the conductor,
and the direction of the
induced current.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

The right-hand motor rule

explains the relationship
between the direction of
the magnetic field, the
direction of the induced
motion of the conductor,
and the direction of the
current.
 Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction

When a current-carrying
wire is placed in a
magnetic field, the wire is
pushed out of the field.
