• When an electric current passes along a wire, a magnetic field is set up around the wire.
• For a straight wire, the magnetic field is a circle around the wire.

• If a compass is placed next to a current carrying conductor, what would happen if the current were reversed?
• What would happen if you moved the compass away from the current carrying conductor?
![Page 6: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• When a long wire is wrapped in a coil it is called a solenoid.
![Page 7: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Prediction: What do you think the magnetic field around a solenoid would look like?
• To break it down we could imagine what the field lines would look like for one loop.
![Page 8: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• If we increase the number of loops next to each other we can see that the magnetic field would look like this:

Conclusion• The magnetic field lines around a wire are circles
centered on the wire.• The magnetic field of a solenoid is uniform inside
the solenoid and like a bar magnet on the outside.
• Increasing the current increases the strength of the magnetic fields; reversing the current reverses the magnetic field lines.

The Motor Effect
![Page 12: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• When a current passes through a wire in a magnetic field a force is exerted on the wire. This is called the motor effect.
![Page 13: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 15: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• How could we increase the force?o Increase the currento Use a stronger magnet
• How could we reverse the direction of the force?o Reverse the direction of the fieldo Reverse the direction of the current
![Page 16: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• The Force depends on the angle between the wire and the magnetic field lines. The greatest force occurs when the wire is perpendicular to the field.
• The direction of the force is always at right angles to the wire and field lines.
![Page 17: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Motor Effect• A current carrying conductor in a magnetic field
will experience a force (the motor effect).• In the motor effect, the force:
o Is increased if the current or the strength of the magnetic field is increased.
o Is at right angles to the direction of the magnetic field and to the wire.
o Is reversed if the direction of the current or the magnetic field is reversed.

Electromagnetic Induction
• When a wire passes through the lines of a magnetic field, an emf is induced in a wire.
• If the wire is part of a complete circuit, the induced emf causes a current in the circuit.
• The current is increased if the wire moves faster or a stronger magnet is used.
• The direction of an induced current opposes the change that causes it.

The AC Generator• The simple ac generator consists of a coil that
spins in a uniform magnetic field.• The slip rings and brush contacts enable the coil
to stay connected to the circuit.• The peak value of the induced emf is when the
sides of the coil cut directly across the magnetic field lines.
• When the sides of the coil move parallel to the field lines, the induced emf is zero.

Remember:• When a current passes through a solenoid, a
magnetic field is created.• The more coils the solenoid has the stronger the
magnetic field.• A changing magnetic field creates an alternating
current. This creates an alternating voltage in the conductor.
• The more turns in a coil, the larger the value of the alternating voltage.
![Page 41: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
A Basic Transformer• A transformer has two coils of insulated wire, both
wound round the same iron core as shown below:
![Page 42: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
A Basic Transformer• When an alternating voltage is applied to the
primary coil and magnetic field is created in the iron core.
![Page 43: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
A Basic Transformer• This magnetic field will induce an alternating
voltage in the secondary coil.
![Page 44: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Questions
Q: Will the alternating voltage in the secondary coil be more or less than the primary coil?A: It will be less because there are less turns in the coil.
![Page 45: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Questions
Q: What would happen if both coils had the same number of turns?A: The primary and secondary voltage would be the same.
![Page 46: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Questions
Q: Why does the primary voltage have to be alternating?A: If it were only in one direction, the magnetic field would not change. Only a changing magnetic field induces a current.
![Page 47: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The Transformer Equation
Where:Vp – primary voltage
Vs – secondary voltage
Np – number of primary turns
Ns – number of secondary turns
![Page 48: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Types of Transformers• A step-up transformer has a secondary voltage
that is greater than the primary.• A step-down transformer has a secondary
voltage that is less than the primary.
![Page 49: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Example Problem:• A transformer with 500 turns in the primary coil
and 100 turns in the secondary coil has a secondary voltage of 12V. What is the primary voltage? What type of transformer is this?
![Page 50: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Summary• A transformer consists of a primary coil and a
secondary coil wrapped on the same iron core.• Transformers only work using alternating current.• The alternating current in the primary coil creates
an alternating magnetic field in the iron core which induces an alternating voltage in the secondary coil.
• The transformer equation is:
![Page 51: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
High-voltage transmission of electricity
![Page 52: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Electricity is transferred using high-voltage transmission. We will examine why it is more efficient to transfer electricity using a high voltage.
![Page 53: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Efficiency• The efficiency of a system is the percentage of
energy entering the system that is turned into useful energy.
• If I put 100J of electric energy into a lamp and 75J of light energy comes out, I would say that my lamp is 75% efficient.
• That means that 25% of the energy has gone somewhere else. Where did it go?
![Page 54: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Efficiency• When current is traveling down a conductor why
does it lose energy?• It loses energy because the conductor has
resistance. The current in the conductor causes it to heat up, which means that electrical energy is lost to heat energy.
• How could we transfer the same amount of electrical energy, but reduce the amount of energy lost?
• If we increase the voltage we can reduce the current but transfer the same amount of energy.
![Page 55: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Transformers• Transformers are used to step up and down
voltages, so that a lower current can be used to transfer electricity.
• Transformers are almost 100% efficient. That means that almost all the electrical power supplied to the primary coil is supplied to the secondary coil.
• Remember the equation for electrical power?• P = IV• So for a 100% efficient transformer Pp = Ps.
![Page 56: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Efficiency Equation
WhereIp – primary current
Is – secondary current
Vp – primary voltage
Vs – secondary voltage
IpVp = IsVs

Summary• Transformers are used to step voltages up or
down.• High voltage transmission of electricity is much
more efficient than transmission at much lower voltages.

Cathode Rays
![Page 59: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
A discharge tube• Discharge tubes were invented in 1870 by William
Crookes.• He showed that by applying a high voltage across
a low pressure gas, the gas would begin to glow.
![Page 60: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
A discharge tube• Crookes also found that different gasses produce
a different colour.
![Page 61: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
A discharge tube• In a discharge tube the negatively charged plate
is called the cathode, and the positively charged plate is called the anode.
![Page 62: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Investigating the tube• By placing a paddle wheel inside the tube,
Crookes was able to show that the that the wheel rotates due to radiation in the tube. He was able to show that the radiation began at the cathode. He named them cathode rays.
![Page 63: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Investigating the tube• John Thomson showed that cathode rays are
deflected by an electric field. By taking careful measurements he showed that cathode rays are made of negatively charged particles. They became known as electrons.
• Cathode rays are beams of electrons.
![Page 64: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Thermionic Emission• An electron tube is a more controlled way to
produce an electron beam.• A filament is heated so that the electrons gain
enough kinetic energy to leave. This is known as thermionic emission.
![Page 65: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Thermionic Emission• If we have a small hole in the anode, some of the
electrons will go through the hole. This will create a narrow beam.
![Page 66: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Deflecting Cathode Rays
• Cathode rays are negatively charged. They will be deflected by a magnetic field.
• We can use this fact to direct electron beams where we want.
![Page 67: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Deflecting Cathode Rays
• Increasing the pd between the anode and cathode increases the speed of electrons.
• Changing the pd in the deflecting coils will change the direction of the electron beam.
![Page 68: Magnetic Field Patterns. A Quick Review of Magnetic Fields](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032517/56649cba5503460f94982af6/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Cathode Rays Summary
• Cathode rays are electrons that travel towards the anode (positive) after being emitted from the cathode (negative).
• Thermionic emission is the emission of electrons from a heated filament.
• A beam of electrons can be produced by attracting electrons from a heated filament towards a positive electrode (anode) in a vacuum tube.
• Cathode rays are deflected by electric and magnetic fields.

Using electric fields to deflect cathode rays
• Cathode rays are beams of electrons. That means they are negatively charge.
• If they pass between a positive and negative plate they will be attracted towards the positive plate.

Oscilloscopes• By using a horizontal and vertical electric field the
electrons can be deflected in any direction.• The bigger the pd between the plates, the larger
the deflection.• If the pd is reversed, the direction of deflection
will be reversed.

What are they used for?
• They provide a way to visualize electrical voltage.• The voltage can be compared to a change in time
or with other voltages.• They can also show the time between two events,
even if those events occur very close together.

Oscilloscope Summary
• Cathode rays passing between oppositely charged plates are deflected towards the positive plate.
• The deflection is increased if the pd is increased.• In the cathode ray oscilloscope, a narrow beam of
electrons is deflected by two pairs of deflecting plates.
