Right-hand Rule • If you imagine holding the wire in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the positive current, the direction your fingers would curl is in the direction of the magnetic field. • Figure 7 on page 571
A strong magnetic field • Can be produced by wrapping the wire into a coil • Solenoid- a coil of wire with an electric current in it • Has a strong magnetic field • Has a north and south pole • More loops or more current = stronger
Electromagnets • A coil that has a soft iron core and that acts as a magnet when an electric current is in the coil
The movement of charges causes all magnetism • Magnetic atoms rotate to align with magnetic fields of nearby atoms • Domains – areas where atoms point in the same direction
Electromagnetic Devices • Galvonmeters • Detects current, or the movement of charges in a circuit • Consists of a coil of insulated wire wrapped around an iron core that can rotate between the poles of a permanent magnet
Electromagnetic Devices • Electric motors • A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy
Section 2 Quiz – Answer the following. • What is produced around a current-carrying wire? • What is a solenoid? • What is an electromagnet? • What type of electromagnetic device uses the magnetic field to measure current? • What type of energy conversion occurs in an electric motor?
