Last lesson • How the motor effect can build a motor • Electromagnetic induction
D.C.Motor Commutator ensures that every half rotation the current direction reverses in the coil brushes
Electromagnetic induction If a magnet is moved inside a coil an electric current is induced (produced) COPY this please!
Electromagnetic induction A electric current is induced because the magnetic field around the coil is changing.
Generator/dynamo A generator works in this way by rotating a coil in a magnetic field (or rotating a magnet in a coil)
Motor = generator If electric energy enters a motor it is changed into kinetic energy, but if kinetic energy is inputted (the motor is turned) electric energy is produced!
Today’s lesson - Transformers Can you gather around Mr Porter?
Transformers A transformer consists of 3 main parts
Transformers A changing current in the primary coil produces a changing magnetic field in the coil. This changing magnetic field induces a changing current in the secondary coil.
Changing voltages The ratio of the number of turns on the coils equals the ratio of the voltages Vp/Vs = Np/Ns # of turns = Ns # of turns = Np
Changing voltages A transformer where the voltage rises is called a step-up transformer
Changing voltages A transformer where the voltage falls is called a step-down transformer
No energy for nothing However, no new energy is made
No energy for nothing Power in = power out VpIp = VsIs
a.c. only Because transformers rely on induction (changing fields), they only work with alternating current (a.c.)
Why do we need transformers? Current flowing through wires causes them to get hot and energy is lost.
Why do we need transformers? Keeping the current low means electricity can be transported long distances without losing too much energy.
Why do we need transformers? However, in order to send a large quantity of energy, high voltages are needed.
Transmission of Electricity Step-up Step-down
