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

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)

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

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
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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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)

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

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
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

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)

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

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
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

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)

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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)
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

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

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

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)

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
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
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

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

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

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

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

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
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
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

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

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

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]

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

(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

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 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

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

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

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

(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

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

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

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]

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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
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)

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

Magnetically hard and soft materials
Magnetic memory(permanent 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)

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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]

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

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

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

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

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)

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)
Oxygen is paramagnetic and so is attracted to a magnetSee https

Nijmegen High Field Magnet Laboratory
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

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

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
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

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

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

The incremental permeability is given by the gradient of the curve at P
120641119946119951119940=120575119861120575119867

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

(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
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
Magnetic circuit Electrical circuit
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

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
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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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 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

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

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

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

rare-earth magnetbull made from an alloy of

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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
Magnetic circuit Electrical circuit
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

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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

Faradayrsquos law of electromagnetic induction
ε=minus119873119889Φ119889119905
hellip where = induced emf = magnetic flux = number of turns = time
ldquoThe emf induced is equal to the rate of change of
magnetic flux linkage or the rate of flux cuttingrdquo
ε = Bl vfor the motional emf induced in a straight conductor of length l both positioned and moving (at a velocity v) at right angles to a uniform magnetic field of density B See diagram
The general equation above simplifies to
LENZrsquoS LAW ldquoAn induced electric current flows in a direction such that the current opposes the change that induced itrdquo Hence the lsquo c lsquo sign in the Faraday equation
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

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

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
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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
