Chapter 1
Magnetism and Induction
Permanent magnets
include natural magnets
and manufactured
magnets. Temporary
magnets include wound
coils of wire with a
source of electricity.
Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction
Permeability values
refer to the relative
ability of a material
to conduct magnetic
flux.
Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction
Electromagnetic field
strength is increased by
increasing the current
flow or by increasing the
number of coils, and
concentrated by adding
an iron core.
Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction
When an AC source
voltages rises and the
magnetic flux
expands around the
conductors, an
opposing voltage, or
counter-electromotive
force (CEMF), is
induced in the circuit.
Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction
When a conductor is
wrapped with the left
hand with the thumb in
the direction of the
current flow, the fingers
point in the direction of
the magnetic field.
Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction
When a coil is
wrapped with the right
hand with the fingers
in the direction of the
current flow, the thumb
points in the direction
of the north pole.
Chapter 1 — Magnetism and Induction
When a current-carrying
wire is placed in a
magnetic field, the wire is
pushed out of the field.
