Bar magnet

Wire carrying a DC current

Current-carrying solenoid (notice magnetic field pattern similar to that for bar magnet)

These images show that magnetism and electricity are linked

A solenoid is a coil in the form of a cylinder

Using plotting compasses to showmagnetic field direction

Magnetic polesbull An electric dipole is a paired

arrangement of a positive (+) electric charge and a negative (ndash) one They are equal and opposite

bull A magnetic dipole is a paired north (N) and south (S) pole arrangement An atom is a tiny magnetic dipole

bull Whereas a single electric charge can exist on its own a single magnetic pole on its own (a so-called magnetic monopole) has never been observed and can never be created from normal matter (though some theories in physics predict it does exist)

bull If a bar magnet is cut in half it is not the case that one half has only the north pole and the other half has only the south

bull Instead each piece has its own pair of north and south poles

Man-made permanent magnetsbull Naturally occurring ferromagnets were used in first experimentsbull Man-made products ndash based on a mixture of naturally occurring

magnetic elements or compoundsbull Magnets often manufactured by sintering (a sort of lsquobakingrsquo)bull Some common man-made magnets in table below

Magnet type Composition

Neodymium Neodymium iron boron

SamCo Samarium cobalt (+ iron copper)

Alnico Aluminium nickel cobalt

Sr-ferrite Strontium oxide iron(II) oxide

Ferrimagnetism

bull Almost every item of electronic equipment produced today contains some ferrimagnetic material loudspeakers motors deflection yokes interference suppressors antenna rods proximity sensors recording heads transformers and inductors are frequently based on ferrites

bull Ferrimagnets possess permeability to rival most ferromagnets but their eddy current losses are far lower because of the materials greater electrical resistivity Also it is practicable to fabricate different shapes by pressing or extruding - both low cost techniques

bull Ferrimagnetic materials are usually oxides of iron combined with one or more of the transition metals such as manganese nickel or zinc Permanent ferrimagnets often include barium

bull The raw material is turned into a powder which is then fired in a kiln or sintered

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804-91)

bull Important role in electrical science

bull The unit of magnetic flux - weber (Wb) - is named after him

Nikola Tesla (1856ndash1943)bull Serbian American inventor

electrical engineer mechanical engineer physicist and futurist

bull Best known for his contributions to the design of the modern AC electricity supply system

bull Made a lot of money from his patents and lived for most of his life in New York hotels Spent a lot of income financing own projects -eventually declared bankrupt

bull Regarded as a bit of a mad scientistldquo

bull The unit of magnetic flux density ndash tesla (T) ndash named after him

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

There are 17 lsquorare earthrsquo metals in the periodic table They are actually not rare in themselves but are scattered far and wide rather than being concentrated in easily found minerals It is the minerals that are rare

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Worked example A plane of wingspan 30 m flies through a vertical field of strength 5 x 10-4 T Calculate the emf induced across its wing tips if its velocity is 150 ms-1

ε = Bl v = 5x10-4 x 30 x 150 = 225V

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

The lsquomotor effectrsquo

F = Bil where F is the force on a conductor of length l carrying a current i and perpendicular to a magnetic field of flux density B

Worked example Calculate the force on a power cable of length 100 m carrying a current of 200 A at place where the Earths magnetic field is 10-5 T and is perpendicular to the cable

The cable will experience a force given by F = Bil = 10-5x200x100 = 02 N

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic polesbull An electric dipole is a paired

arrangement of a positive (+) electric charge and a negative (ndash) one They are equal and opposite

bull A magnetic dipole is a paired north (N) and south (S) pole arrangement An atom is a tiny magnetic dipole

bull Whereas a single electric charge can exist on its own a single magnetic pole on its own (a so-called magnetic monopole) has never been observed and can never be created from normal matter (though some theories in physics predict it does exist)

bull If a bar magnet is cut in half it is not the case that one half has only the north pole and the other half has only the south

bull Instead each piece has its own pair of north and south poles

Man-made permanent magnetsbull Naturally occurring ferromagnets were used in first experimentsbull Man-made products ndash based on a mixture of naturally occurring

magnetic elements or compoundsbull Magnets often manufactured by sintering (a sort of lsquobakingrsquo)bull Some common man-made magnets in table below

Magnet type Composition

Neodymium Neodymium iron boron

SamCo Samarium cobalt (+ iron copper)

Alnico Aluminium nickel cobalt

Sr-ferrite Strontium oxide iron(II) oxide

Ferrimagnetism

bull Almost every item of electronic equipment produced today contains some ferrimagnetic material loudspeakers motors deflection yokes interference suppressors antenna rods proximity sensors recording heads transformers and inductors are frequently based on ferrites

bull Ferrimagnets possess permeability to rival most ferromagnets but their eddy current losses are far lower because of the materials greater electrical resistivity Also it is practicable to fabricate different shapes by pressing or extruding - both low cost techniques

bull Ferrimagnetic materials are usually oxides of iron combined with one or more of the transition metals such as manganese nickel or zinc Permanent ferrimagnets often include barium

bull The raw material is turned into a powder which is then fired in a kiln or sintered

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic polesbull An electric dipole is a paired

arrangement of a positive (+) electric charge and a negative (ndash) one They are equal and opposite

bull A magnetic dipole is a paired north (N) and south (S) pole arrangement An atom is a tiny magnetic dipole

bull Whereas a single electric charge can exist on its own a single magnetic pole on its own (a so-called magnetic monopole) has never been observed and can never be created from normal matter (though some theories in physics predict it does exist)

bull If a bar magnet is cut in half it is not the case that one half has only the north pole and the other half has only the south

bull Instead each piece has its own pair of north and south poles

Man-made permanent magnetsbull Naturally occurring ferromagnets were used in first experimentsbull Man-made products ndash based on a mixture of naturally occurring

magnetic elements or compoundsbull Magnets often manufactured by sintering (a sort of lsquobakingrsquo)bull Some common man-made magnets in table below

Magnet type Composition

Neodymium Neodymium iron boron

SamCo Samarium cobalt (+ iron copper)

Alnico Aluminium nickel cobalt

Sr-ferrite Strontium oxide iron(II) oxide

Ferrimagnetism

bull Almost every item of electronic equipment produced today contains some ferrimagnetic material loudspeakers motors deflection yokes interference suppressors antenna rods proximity sensors recording heads transformers and inductors are frequently based on ferrites

bull Ferrimagnets possess permeability to rival most ferromagnets but their eddy current losses are far lower because of the materials greater electrical resistivity Also it is practicable to fabricate different shapes by pressing or extruding - both low cost techniques

bull Ferrimagnetic materials are usually oxides of iron combined with one or more of the transition metals such as manganese nickel or zinc Permanent ferrimagnets often include barium

bull The raw material is turned into a powder which is then fired in a kiln or sintered

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic polesbull An electric dipole is a paired

arrangement of a positive (+) electric charge and a negative (ndash) one They are equal and opposite

bull A magnetic dipole is a paired north (N) and south (S) pole arrangement An atom is a tiny magnetic dipole

bull Whereas a single electric charge can exist on its own a single magnetic pole on its own (a so-called magnetic monopole) has never been observed and can never be created from normal matter (though some theories in physics predict it does exist)

bull If a bar magnet is cut in half it is not the case that one half has only the north pole and the other half has only the south

bull Instead each piece has its own pair of north and south poles

Man-made permanent magnetsbull Naturally occurring ferromagnets were used in first experimentsbull Man-made products ndash based on a mixture of naturally occurring

magnetic elements or compoundsbull Magnets often manufactured by sintering (a sort of lsquobakingrsquo)bull Some common man-made magnets in table below

Magnet type Composition

Neodymium Neodymium iron boron

SamCo Samarium cobalt (+ iron copper)

Alnico Aluminium nickel cobalt

Sr-ferrite Strontium oxide iron(II) oxide

Ferrimagnetism

bull Almost every item of electronic equipment produced today contains some ferrimagnetic material loudspeakers motors deflection yokes interference suppressors antenna rods proximity sensors recording heads transformers and inductors are frequently based on ferrites

bull Ferrimagnets possess permeability to rival most ferromagnets but their eddy current losses are far lower because of the materials greater electrical resistivity Also it is practicable to fabricate different shapes by pressing or extruding - both low cost techniques

bull Ferrimagnetic materials are usually oxides of iron combined with one or more of the transition metals such as manganese nickel or zinc Permanent ferrimagnets often include barium

bull The raw material is turned into a powder which is then fired in a kiln or sintered

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804-91)

bull Important role in electrical science

bull The unit of magnetic flux - weber (Wb) - is named after him

Nikola Tesla (1856ndash1943)bull Serbian American inventor

electrical engineer mechanical engineer physicist and futurist

bull Best known for his contributions to the design of the modern AC electricity supply system

bull Made a lot of money from his patents and lived for most of his life in New York hotels Spent a lot of income financing own projects -eventually declared bankrupt

bull Regarded as a bit of a mad scientistldquo

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

The homopolar motor

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Building a tunnel for high-speed trains

hellip er hellip the link wwwbbccouklearningzoneclips6622html has got very little to do with this unit except for the electronic system used to align the tunnel but itrsquos quite interesting and itrsquos a BTEC-recommended video clip so I suppose I might as well show it hellip

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Using plotting compasses to showmagnetic field direction

Magnetic polesbull An electric dipole is a paired

arrangement of a positive (+) electric charge and a negative (ndash) one They are equal and opposite

bull A magnetic dipole is a paired north (N) and south (S) pole arrangement An atom is a tiny magnetic dipole

bull Whereas a single electric charge can exist on its own a single magnetic pole on its own (a so-called magnetic monopole) has never been observed and can never be created from normal matter (though some theories in physics predict it does exist)

bull If a bar magnet is cut in half it is not the case that one half has only the north pole and the other half has only the south

bull Instead each piece has its own pair of north and south poles

Man-made permanent magnetsbull Naturally occurring ferromagnets were used in first experimentsbull Man-made products ndash based on a mixture of naturally occurring

magnetic elements or compoundsbull Magnets often manufactured by sintering (a sort of lsquobakingrsquo)bull Some common man-made magnets in table below

Magnet type Composition

Neodymium Neodymium iron boron

SamCo Samarium cobalt (+ iron copper)

Alnico Aluminium nickel cobalt

Sr-ferrite Strontium oxide iron(II) oxide

Ferrimagnetism

bull Almost every item of electronic equipment produced today contains some ferrimagnetic material loudspeakers motors deflection yokes interference suppressors antenna rods proximity sensors recording heads transformers and inductors are frequently based on ferrites

bull Ferrimagnets possess permeability to rival most ferromagnets but their eddy current losses are far lower because of the materials greater electrical resistivity Also it is practicable to fabricate different shapes by pressing or extruding - both low cost techniques

bull Ferrimagnetic materials are usually oxides of iron combined with one or more of the transition metals such as manganese nickel or zinc Permanent ferrimagnets often include barium

bull The raw material is turned into a powder which is then fired in a kiln or sintered

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804-91)

bull Important role in electrical science

bull The unit of magnetic flux - weber (Wb) - is named after him

Nikola Tesla (1856ndash1943)bull Serbian American inventor

bull Best known for his contributions to the design of the modern AC electricity supply system

bull Made a lot of money from his patents and lived for most of his life in New York hotels Spent a lot of income financing own projects -eventually declared bankrupt

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic polesbull An electric dipole is a paired

arrangement of a positive (+) electric charge and a negative (ndash) one They are equal and opposite

bull A magnetic dipole is a paired north (N) and south (S) pole arrangement An atom is a tiny magnetic dipole

bull Whereas a single electric charge can exist on its own a single magnetic pole on its own (a so-called magnetic monopole) has never been observed and can never be created from normal matter (though some theories in physics predict it does exist)

bull If a bar magnet is cut in half it is not the case that one half has only the north pole and the other half has only the south

bull Instead each piece has its own pair of north and south poles

Man-made permanent magnetsbull Naturally occurring ferromagnets were used in first experimentsbull Man-made products ndash based on a mixture of naturally occurring

magnetic elements or compoundsbull Magnets often manufactured by sintering (a sort of lsquobakingrsquo)bull Some common man-made magnets in table below

Magnet type Composition

Neodymium Neodymium iron boron

SamCo Samarium cobalt (+ iron copper)

Alnico Aluminium nickel cobalt

Sr-ferrite Strontium oxide iron(II) oxide

Ferrimagnetism

bull Almost every item of electronic equipment produced today contains some ferrimagnetic material loudspeakers motors deflection yokes interference suppressors antenna rods proximity sensors recording heads transformers and inductors are frequently based on ferrites

bull Ferrimagnets possess permeability to rival most ferromagnets but their eddy current losses are far lower because of the materials greater electrical resistivity Also it is practicable to fabricate different shapes by pressing or extruding - both low cost techniques

bull Ferrimagnetic materials are usually oxides of iron combined with one or more of the transition metals such as manganese nickel or zinc Permanent ferrimagnets often include barium

bull The raw material is turned into a powder which is then fired in a kiln or sintered

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804-91)

bull Important role in electrical science

bull The unit of magnetic flux - weber (Wb) - is named after him

Nikola Tesla (1856ndash1943)bull Serbian American inventor

electrical engineer mechanical engineer physicist and futurist

bull Best known for his contributions to the design of the modern AC electricity supply system

bull Made a lot of money from his patents and lived for most of his life in New York hotels Spent a lot of income financing own projects -eventually declared bankrupt

bull Regarded as a bit of a mad scientistldquo

bull The unit of magnetic flux density ndash tesla (T) ndash named after him

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Man-made permanent magnetsbull Naturally occurring ferromagnets were used in first experimentsbull Man-made products ndash based on a mixture of naturally occurring

magnetic elements or compoundsbull Magnets often manufactured by sintering (a sort of lsquobakingrsquo)bull Some common man-made magnets in table below

Magnet type Composition

Neodymium Neodymium iron boron

SamCo Samarium cobalt (+ iron copper)

Alnico Aluminium nickel cobalt

Sr-ferrite Strontium oxide iron(II) oxide

Ferrimagnetism

bull Almost every item of electronic equipment produced today contains some ferrimagnetic material loudspeakers motors deflection yokes interference suppressors antenna rods proximity sensors recording heads transformers and inductors are frequently based on ferrites

bull Ferrimagnets possess permeability to rival most ferromagnets but their eddy current losses are far lower because of the materials greater electrical resistivity Also it is practicable to fabricate different shapes by pressing or extruding - both low cost techniques

bull Ferrimagnetic materials are usually oxides of iron combined with one or more of the transition metals such as manganese nickel or zinc Permanent ferrimagnets often include barium

bull The raw material is turned into a powder which is then fired in a kiln or sintered

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Wilhelm Eduard Weber (1804-91)

bull Important role in electrical science

bull The unit of magnetic flux - weber (Wb) - is named after him

Nikola Tesla (1856ndash1943)bull Serbian American inventor

electrical engineer mechanical engineer physicist and futurist

bull Best known for his contributions to the design of the modern AC electricity supply system

bull Made a lot of money from his patents and lived for most of his life in New York hotels Spent a lot of income financing own projects -eventually declared bankrupt

bull Regarded as a bit of a mad scientistldquo

bull The unit of magnetic flux density ndash tesla (T) ndash named after him

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

There are 17 lsquorare earthrsquo metals in the periodic table They are actually not rare in themselves but are scattered far and wide rather than being concentrated in easily found minerals It is the minerals that are rare

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

The homopolar motor

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Ferrimagnetism

bull Almost every item of electronic equipment produced today contains some ferrimagnetic material loudspeakers motors deflection yokes interference suppressors antenna rods proximity sensors recording heads transformers and inductors are frequently based on ferrites

bull Ferrimagnets possess permeability to rival most ferromagnets but their eddy current losses are far lower because of the materials greater electrical resistivity Also it is practicable to fabricate different shapes by pressing or extruding - both low cost techniques

bull Ferrimagnetic materials are usually oxides of iron combined with one or more of the transition metals such as manganese nickel or zinc Permanent ferrimagnets often include barium

bull The raw material is turned into a powder which is then fired in a kiln or sintered

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

The homopolar motor

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic field lines

At any point where two magnetic fields are acting and a compass needle does not point in any particular direction then there is no resultant field at the point

Such a point is called a neutral point or a null point (See lsquonprsquo on bottom diagram)

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

hellip er hellip the link wwwbbccouklearningzoneclips6622html has got very little to do with this unit except for the electronic system used to align the tunnel but itrsquos quite interesting and itrsquos a BTEC-recommended video clip so I suppose I might as well show it hellip

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Two mutually attracting horseshoe magnets

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic field lines at north pole of bar magnet

wwwcoolmagnetmancom

Two mutually attracting horseshoe magnets

Can you identify a neutral point

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic flux and flux densityAround the magnet there is a magnetic field which we think of as corresponding to a lsquoflow of magnetic energyrsquo from the north pole to the south pole We call this lsquoflowrsquo magnetic flux (Φ) and the units are Webers (Wb) The diagram shows that there is as much flux flowing lsquofrom the north polersquo as there is lsquoflowing into the south polersquo

However the amount of magnetic flux flowing through a given area will change from one point to another At position X there is a greater number of field lines passing through the loop than there is when the same loop is at A

The amount of flux passing through a unit area (1 m2) at right angles to the field lines is called the magnetic flux density (B) at that point B is measured in Tesla (T) where 1 T = 1 Wbm-2

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetic flux density formula

Φ = BA

If we now use a coil of N turns instead of just one single loop as shown in position Z the effect of the flux through the N turns is N times that through the single loop

(The quantity NΦ is called the flux linkage for the coil at that point ndash not required for the BTEC Diploma)

WORKED EXAMPLE flux and flux density

The flux flowing through a horse-shoe magnet is 016 Wb

The cross sectional area of the gap is200 mm2

Calculate the magnetic flux density in the gap

SOLUTION

Φ = 016 WbA = 200 x 10-6 m2So B = ΦA = 016200 x 10-6 = 800 T

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

ε = Bl v = 5x10-4 x 30 x 150 = 225V

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

a multi-section commutator - two sections for each of several rotating coils wound in different planes Although only one of these coils carries a current at any one time having a lot of them makes the rotation far smoother

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

The LHC and liquid helium

Top left Large Hadron Collider (LHC) beam pipe

Top right Liquid helium and liquid nitrogen are both pumped in to different parts of the cyromodules

Bottom left liquid helium in an open container

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Superconducting magnets at the LHC CERNThe Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS - left) is one of the Large Hadron Colliders massive particle detectors

The Solenoid is a cryomagnet ie an electromagnet that operates at extremely low temperatures

Cryomagnets are also used for the Large Hadron Collider itself (right)

The main magnets operate at around 8 tesla and a temperature of 2713degC (19 K) colder than the temperature of outer space (27K)

At these very low temperatures the wire is superconducting ie its electrical resistance is exactly zero This means it can conduct much larger electric currents than ordinary wire creating intense magnetic fields Because no energy is dissipated as heat in the windings they can be cheaper to operate

Cross-section of LHC beam pipes containing a vacuum as empty as interplanetary space

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

ε = Bl v = 5x10-4 x 30 x 150 = 225V

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the flux density meter(this one uses a Hall probe)

The Hall probe consists of a slice of semiconducting material with a small current passing through it When it is placed in the magnetic field a pd that is directly proportional to the magnetic flux density is produced across the slice at right angles to the current direction

A flux density meter is sometimes called a Tesla meter

The Hall probe is only suitable for measuring steady magnetic fields

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Types of magnetism and the periodic table

If interested look upbull Antiferromagnetism

(due to neighbouring ions equal amp opposite dipole moments)

bull Ferrimagnetism(due to neighbouring ions UNequal amp opposite dipole moments)

Paramagnetic materials create a magnetic field in alignment with an externally applied magnetic field They are weakly attracted to a magnet [Due to orbital electron motion]

Diamagnetic materials create a magnetic field in opposition to an externally applied magnetic field There are weakly repelled by a magnet [Due to unpaired electron spins]

Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to a magnet Iron nickel and cobalt are ferromagnetic It is these your BTEC course is most interested in [Due to magnetic domains]

This periodic table shows magnetic properties of ELEMENTS not minerals alloys or compounds

Paramagnetism amp diamagnetism

Pyrolytic carbon which is highly diamagnetic levitating over permanent magnets

Diamagnetic forces acting upon the water within its body levitating a live frog The frog is inside a special solenoid that generates an extremely powerful magnetic field (16 T)

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Ferromagnetism

Unmagnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are unaligned

Magnetised ferromagnetic material magnetic domains are aligned

You may like to look up paramagnetism diamagnetism ferromagnetism ferrimagnetism and antiferromagnetism

bull Ferromagnetism is a very strong form of magnetisation

bull This is due to the existence of magnetic domains in ferromagnetic materials

Iron nickel cobalt (and some of the rare earth elements) exhibit a behaviour called ferromagnetism because iron (Latin ferrum) is the most common and dramatic example

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

ℱ is the mmfΦ is the magnetic fluxS is the reluctance of the material through which the flux lsquopassesrsquo

ε = Bl v = 5x10-4 x 30 x 150 = 225V

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Effect of matter onapplied magnetic field

For ferromagnetic matter this effect is

more extreme

Magnetic flux density B magnetic field strength H and permeability μ

When a magnetic field is applied to a material the resulting overall magnetic flux density B within the material has two components arising from

1 The original applied field2 An extra induced field resulting from the effect of the applied field on the atoms of

the material (the material itself has become magnetised ndash even if only minutely ndash owing to the effect of the applied field and has produced a field of its own)

A common formula to express this situation is

B = μHWhere B is the overall magnetic flux density H is the magnetic (or applied) field strength and μ is the permeability of the material measured in henry per metre (Hm-1)

The permeability μ is a measure of the extent to which the material enhances the existing applied field It is measured in amps per metre (Am-1)

The permeability is composed of two components μ = μ0 μr

Where μ0 is the permeability of free space (4π times 10-7 Hm-1) and μr is the relative permeability of the substance (no units)

Relative permeability (μr) values for some materials

Paramagnetic (μr gt 1)Platinum 1000265Aluminium 1000022Air 100000043Wood 10000004

Diamagnetic (μr lt 1)

Bismuth 0999834

Water 0999992

Copper 0999994

Sapphire 09999998

Ferromagnetic (μr gtgt 1)

Metglas 1000000Iron (annealed) to 350000Mumetal to 100000Permalloy to 25000Rhometal to 5000Steel to 800Nickel to 600Cobalt to 250

μr for a vacuum = 1 exactly by definition

Here ferrite means a chemical compound of ceramic materials with iron(II) oxide as its main constituentIt was invented in Japan in 1930(Ferrite also has other meanings)

A stack of ferrite magnets

For paramagnetic amp diamagnetic materialsμr is very close to 1

Ferrimagnetic (μr gtgt 1)Ferrite (Ni-Zn) to 640

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

bull used in applications that require strong permanent magnets such as motors in cordless tools hard disk drives and magnetic fasteners

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Worked example A plane of wingspan 30 m flies through a vertical field of strength 5 x 10-4 T Calculate the emf induced across its wing tips if its velocity is 150 ms-1

ε = Bl v = 5x10-4 x 30 x 150 = 225V

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Magnetisation in different materials

These are often called B-H curves

Note the B axis here is in tesla whereas for the paramagnetic amp diamagnetic graphs it is in millitesla

Magnified B-H curve for a ferromagnetic material

(These lsquostepsrsquo are called Barkhausen jumps - not required for BTEC Diploma They occur because of the magnetic domain structure of ferromagnetic materials)

Typical hysteresis loop(Greek hysteacuterēsis = lsquolagging behindrsquo)

Magnetic domains and hysteresis

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

There are 17 lsquorare earthrsquo metals in the periodic table They are actually not rare in themselves but are scattered far and wide rather than being concentrated in easily found minerals It is the minerals that are rare

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

There are 17 lsquorare earthrsquo metals in the periodic table They are actually not rare in themselves but are scattered far and wide rather than being concentrated in easily found minerals It is the minerals that are rare

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

ℱ = ΦSwhere

ℱ is the mmfΦ is the magnetic fluxS is the reluctance of the material through which the flux lsquopassesrsquo

Electromagnetic inductionworked example

Worked example A plane of wingspan 30 m flies through a vertical field of strength 5 x 10-4 T Calculate the emf induced across its wing tips if its velocity is 150 ms-1

ε = Bl v = 5x10-4 x 30 x 150 = 225V

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

bull rice cookers

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

F = Bil where F is the force on a conductor of length l carrying a current i and perpendicular to a magnetic field of flux density B

Worked example Calculate the force on a power cable of length 100 m carrying a current of 200 A at place where the Earths magnetic field is 10-5 T and is perpendicular to the cable

The cable will experience a force given by F = Bil = 10-5x200x100 = 02 N

The homopolar motor

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Magnetically hard and soft materials

Magnetic memory(permanent magnet)

Transformer core(temporary magnet)

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Incremental permeabilityThe permeability of a material as already discussed is given by

120641=119861119867

So at point P on the curve (see diagram) μ = 67 Hm-1

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P

120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

So at P μinc = 13 Hm-1

Quite often books confuse readers by alluding to both BH and δBδH as the lsquopermeabilityrsquo whereas they can have very different values

ShieldingElectromagnetic or magnetic shielding is the practice of isolating electrical equipment from the outside worldlsquo

bull Electromagnetic shielding is used against relatively high frequency electromagnetic fields It is made from conductive or magnetic materials A conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is known as a Faraday cage Such shielding is also used in cables to isolate wires from the environment

bull Magnetic shielding is used against static or slowly varying magnetic fields Shields made of high magnetic permeability metal alloys can be used such as sheets of Permalloy (80 iron 20 nickel) and Mu-Metal (77 nickel 16 iron plus a little copper and chromium or molybdenum) These materials dont block the magnetic field as is the case with electric shielding but rather draw the field into themselves Magnetic shields often consist of several enclosures one inside the other

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

How magnets are madeThere are four main ways to magnetize a magnetisable object or substance1 bringing the substance near a magnet 2 using electric current 3 stroking the substance with a magnet and 4 striking a blow to the substance while it is in a magnetic field

A permanent magnet can be made by stroking a magnetic substance with either the N or the S pole of a magnet Stroking lines up the domains in the materialA piece of iron can be magnetized by holding it parallel to a compass needle (along the lines of force in the earths field) and hitting the piece of iron with a hammer The blow will overcome the resistance of the domains to movement and they will line up parallel to the earths fieldTo demagnetize an object a strong magnetic field is used In one method the magnetic field is made to fluctuate very rapidly In another method the magnetized object is placed so that a line drawn between its poles would be at right angles to the field The object is then tapped or hit until its domains are no longer lined up magnetically

Strengths of some magnetic fieldsA neodymium magnet (developed in 1982) is bull the most widely used type of

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

neodymium iron and boronbull the strongest type of

permanent magnet commercially available

There are 17 lsquorare earthrsquo metals in the periodic table They are actually not rare in themselves but are scattered far and wide rather than being concentrated in easily found minerals It is the minerals that are rare

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

ℱ = NIwhere ldquoNrdquo is the number of turns of wire in the coil and ldquoIrdquo is the current in the coil The unit for mmf is ampere-turns (At)

Example calculate the mmf for a coil with 2000 turns and a 5 mA currentAnswer ℱ = N times I = 2000 times 5 times 10-3 = 10 At

For a magnetic circuit we have ℱ = ΦS

See table below for comparison of magnetic scenario with electrical scenario

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Magnetomotive force amp reluctanceMagnetomotive force (mmf) is what lsquocausesrsquo there to be a magnetic flux in a magnetic circuit The mmf ℱ is defined as

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Electromagnetic inductionworked example

Worked example A plane of wingspan 30 m flies through a vertical field of strength 5 x 10-4 T Calculate the emf induced across its wing tips if its velocity is 150 ms-1

ε = Bl v = 5x10-4 x 30 x 150 = 225V

Electromagnetic Induction

A galvanometer is a type of very sensitive ammeter used to detect tiny currents

(They were the original ammeters)

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Principles linkingmagnetism and electricity

bull Every electric current has a magnetic field surrounding it

bull Alternating currents have fluctuating magnetic fields

bull A fluctuating magnetic fields produces an emf which causes a current to flow in conductors lying within the fields This is known as electromagnetic induction

Electromagnetic induction applications

Electromagnetic induction is the principle that makes possible devices such as

bull electrical generators transformers and certain kinds of motor

bull rechargeable electric toothbrushes and wireless communication devices

bull rice cookers

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Eddy currentsA kayaker can use river eddies On the downstream side of every rock that breaks the surface of a river you will find an eddy large enough for the front of your kayak to sit in while you have a rest and admire the view

Eddyhopping is where a white water kayaker sprints upstream from one eddy to another

This 93 mile wide deep underwater eddy was spotted off the coast of South Africa by satellite

Electrical eddy currents

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Mutual and self inductionbull A changing magnetic flux induces an emf in a

conductor General term for this electromagnetic induction

bull If the source of the changing magnetic flux is itself a current-carrying conductor this it termed mutual induction The quantity of induction is called the mutual inductance of the two circuits

bull A conductor carrying a changing current induces an emf in itself (sometimes called a back emf) This is termed self induction and the amount of this is called the self inductance (or just the inductance) An inductor is an electrical component that is used in some AC circuits

bull [ It can be shown that where is called the coupling coefficient ]

How Induction Cooktops Work

httphomehowstuffworkscominduction-cooktops3htm

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

How Induction Cooktops Work

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

F = Bil where F is the force on a conductor of length l carrying a current i and perpendicular to a magnetic field of flux density B

Worked example Calculate the force on a power cable of length 100 m carrying a current of 200 A at place where the Earths magnetic field is 10-5 T and is perpendicular to the cable

The cable will experience a force given by F = Bil = 10-5x200x100 = 02 N

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Commercial motorsA commercial motor is different in several ways from our simple modelIt uses

carbon brushes for good electrical contact with the commutator and also so that when the brushes wear away they can easily be replaced Carbon brushes do not wear away as quickly as metal brushes

a multi-section commutator - two sections for each of several rotating coils wound in different planes Although only one of these coils carries a current at any one time having a lot of them makes the rotation far smoother

field coils rather than a permanent magnet These coils become magnetised when a current is passed through them Field coils give a stronger more easily shaped magnetic field than permanent magnets

Diagram of simple inductor

Examples of Inductors

More on inductorsAn inductor is somewhat like a capacitor They both store electromagnetic energy They both oppose changes in a circuit

bull A capacitor likes to maintain a constant voltage It stores this energy in an electric field Its reactance decreases with frequency

bull An inductor likes to maintain a constant current It stores this energy in a magnetic field Its reactance increases with frequency

[NOTE reactance means a capacitorrsquos or inductorrsquos ldquoresistancerdquo to AC]

Because of this ldquoconstant currentldquo feature when current through an inductor is increased or decreased the inductor resists this change by producing a voltage between its leads in opposing polarity to the change

Inductors when combined with capacitors become useful when you want to make filters that let only chosen frequencies through (eg In radio tuner circuits and speaker crossovers) The capacitor blocks off low frequencies the inductor blocks off high frequencies

Worked example Calculate the force on a power cable of length 100 m carrying a current of 200 A at place where the Earths magnetic field is 10-5 T and is perpendicular to the cable

The cable will experience a force given by F = Bil = 10-5x200x100 = 02 N

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Commercial motorsA commercial motor is different in several ways from our simple modelIt uses

carbon brushes for good electrical contact with the commutator and also so that when the brushes wear away they can easily be replaced Carbon brushes do not wear away as quickly as metal brushes

a multi-section commutator - two sections for each of several rotating coils wound in different planes Although only one of these coils carries a current at any one time having a lot of them makes the rotation far smoother

field coils rather than a permanent magnet These coils become magnetised when a current is passed through them Field coils give a stronger more easily shaped magnetic field than permanent magnets

This water-cooled 48 volt high frequency AC motor is capable of pulling 650 amps peak It delivers its power in a very different way from the conventional DC motor Its high performance capability is obtained by means of a water-cooling system and highly efficient windings The water cooling jacket is totally seamless

The GMS M1 motor is brushless and totally sealed from the elements making it durable and robust This makes it suitable for almost any application from electric cars to water craft The technology will be proven in motorsport the most demanding environment known

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

hellip er hellip the link wwwbbccouklearningzoneclips6622html has got very little to do with this unit except for the electronic system used to align the tunnel but itrsquos quite interesting and itrsquos a BTEC-recommended video clip so I suppose I might as well show it hellip

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

F = Bil where F is the force on a conductor of length l carrying a current i and perpendicular to a magnetic field of flux density B

Worked example Calculate the force on a power cable of length 100 m carrying a current of 200 A at place where the Earths magnetic field is 10-5 T and is perpendicular to the cable

The cable will experience a force given by F = Bil = 10-5x200x100 = 02 N

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Transformer losses

Core losses(iron losses)

Hysteresis losses

Eddy current losses

In addition to the above there is a very small amount of mechanical loss due to vibrations which result in an audible transformer hum

Stray losses(flux

leakage)

Core losses are sometimes called no-load losses

Winding losses are sometimes called load losses

Stray losses are relatively small

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

The homopolar motor

httpswwwyoutubecomwatchv=xbCN3EnYfWU

With the motor effect or generator effect we have three lsquovectorsrsquo1 The magnetic field2 The electric current3 The motion of (ie thrust on) the object

In diagrams two of these are likely to lie within the plane of the page The third is likely to go into or come out of the page

If it goes into the page the direction is denoted by a cross lsquotimesrsquo inside a small circle If it comes out of the page its direction is denoted by a dot lsquobullrsquo inside a small circle (These represent an arrow going into or coming out of the page)

In the diagram to the left the magnetic field B and the current I lie within the plane of the paper The direction of motion of the wire is out of the page on the left hand side and into the page on the right

Homopolar machines(they hardly ever used due to inefficiency)

The first superconducting electric motor made in 1966 by NEI for the MOD - a homopolar machine containing no iron and rated at 50 horsepower (hp)1 hp = 746 watts

The term horsepower was adopted in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with that of draft horses

Brake horsepower (bhp) is the measure of an engines horsepower before the loss in power caused by the gearbox alternator differential water pump and other auxiliary components such as power steering pump amp muffled exhaust

The powerful NPT301 turbojet was designed for use primarily in Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) applications The nose bullet housed a homopolar alternator

RPVs are more often called UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or drones these days

NPT went bust in 1990 due to competition from overseas companies

Commercial motorsA commercial motor is different in several ways from our simple modelIt uses

carbon brushes for good electrical contact with the commutator and also so that when the brushes wear away they can easily be replaced Carbon brushes do not wear away as quickly as metal brushes

a multi-section commutator - two sections for each of several rotating coils wound in different planes Although only one of these coils carries a current at any one time having a lot of them makes the rotation far smoother

field coils rather than a permanent magnet These coils become magnetised when a current is passed through them Field coils give a stronger more easily shaped magnetic field than permanent magnets

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Basic electric motor

lsquoCatapult effectrsquoon a coil in a magnetic field

Commercial motorsA commercial motor is different in several ways from our simple modelIt uses

carbon brushes for good electrical contact with the commutator and also so that when the brushes wear away they can easily be replaced Carbon brushes do not wear away as quickly as metal brushes

a multi-section commutator - two sections for each of several rotating coils wound in different planes Although only one of these coils carries a current at any one time having a lot of them makes the rotation far smoother

field coils rather than a permanent magnet These coils become magnetised when a current is passed through them Field coils give a stronger more easily shaped magnetic field than permanent magnets

Example of AC motor developed locallyAccording to the Green Motorsport website hellip

This water-cooled 48 volt high frequency AC motor is capable of pulling 650 amps peak It delivers its power in a very different way from the conventional DC motor Its high performance capability is obtained by means of a water-cooling system and highly efficient windings The water cooling jacket is totally seamless

The GMS M1 motor is brushless and totally sealed from the elements making it durable and robust This makes it suitable for almost any application from electric cars to water craft The technology will be proven in motorsport the most demanding environment known

Field windingsA commercial motor is different in several ways from our simple model It usesbull carbon brushes for good electrical contact

with the commutator and also so that when the brushes wear away they can easily be replaced Carbon brushes do not wear away as quickly as metal brushes

bull a multi-section commutator - two sections for each of several rotating coils wound in different planes Although only one of these coils carries a current at any one time having a lot of them makes the rotation far smoother

bull field coils rather than a permanent magnet These coils become magnetised when a current is passed through them Field coils give a stronger more easily shaped magnetic field than permanent magnets

Swiss engineers explain the need for the Gotthard Base Tunnel to reduce the amount of traffic on the roads The long flat rail tunnel through the Alps will allow both passenger trains and shuttles carrying lorries to cross the Alps using far less energy The tunnel is being built in sections and electronic systems are used to ensure the sections meet up to within 25 cm The engineers explain how they have developed a way to use the rubble from the excavations in the concrete used to build the tunnel

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength

Measuring magnetic fields the search coil

The search coil method can be used to measure both constant and varying fields Typical characteristics 1000 turns frac12 cm diameter

Measuring varying magnetic fields An emf is induced in it which is directly proportional to the flux density This emf is conveniently displayed as a vertical line on an oscilloscope whose time-base is switched off

Measuring steady magnetic fields The search connected to a ballistic galvanometer is placed in the field and held still then removed quickly The maximum galvanometer deflection is proportional to the field strength
