Electromagnetism

As current flows in a wire, ……………………. is induced around it. This

is known as the electromagnetism.

When the current stops, magnetic field gets ………………...

Examples-Magnetic field around a current carrying straight wire

The magnetic field depends on two factors; the ………………….. of

the current, and the …………………… from the wire:

 1. The ……………………………. the current, the stronger the magnetic field.

 2. The …………………………..the distance from the wire, the weaker the magnetic field

Motors effect

When a ……………………………… is in a magnetic field it will

experience a force.

This is called the ………………………… effect and happens

because the fields of the ………………….. and
……………………………. interact.
The direction of the force acting on a wire in an
electromagnetic field can be reversed by

………………………………………………………………

……………………………………………………………...
 Fleming’s left-hand rule can be used to find the direction of the force.

The thumb represents .........…………………………………………………….

The first finger represents .........…………………………………………………….

The second finger represents .........…………………………………………………….

The force depends on a number of things:

 How strong the magnetic field is.

 How much current is flowing through the wire.

 The angle formed between the wire and the direction of a the magnetic field.

Applications of Motor effect

There are many applications of the motor effect. Some of them are;

 DC Motor
 Moving coil loud speaker

DC Motor

When the power supply is turned on, current is

passed through the ………………. So magnetic field
is ……………… around the coil and it overlaps the
magnetic field of the ……………… magnets.

PQ

and
……………… on side RS of the coil and it will
make the coil rotates ……………………..
Therefore a resultant force is exerted
……………… on side
After a half of a revolution, the direction of the
……………… acting on PQ & RS will be ………………. So the
coil continues to rotate in the same ……………….

Moving coil loud speaker

Data is fed in to the loudspeaker coil as an

…………………….. signal. When current flows through
the coil, ………………………. is induced around it and
this field ……………… the magnetic field of the
permanent magnets. So a ……………………. is exerted
on the coil.

Since the current is ………………, direction of the

force acting on the coil keeps ………………. So the
coil starts to ………………. As the coil vibrates, the
paper cone diaphragm also …………………… at the
same ………………… since it is connected to the
……………….

When the diaphragm hits the ……………… particle, they also start to vibrate producing a ……………… sound
wave.
