What is
ELECTROMAGNETISM?
Electromagnetism is a branch of
Physics, deals with the
electromagnetic force that occurs
between electrically charged particles.
BASIC PRINCIPLE
•When electricity flows in a
wire a magnetic field is
formed around the wire.
•The stronger the current
the stronger the magnetic
field will be.
•When a current stops
flowing there is no
magnetic field.
HOW CAN WE MAKE A STRONGER
MAGNETIC EFFECT?
•If we make a coil of wire called a
solenoid the combined effect of the
magnetic field around each wire results
in a bar magnet being created.
•More coils
•More
current
•A bigger
iron core
Line of Force
A line of force in magnetic field represents path of
free N-pole in magnetic field.
Direction of line of force: N-pole S-pole
Line of force
Transformer equation
Vp / Vs = Np / Ns
Where:
Vp = primary voltage,
Vs = secondary voltage,
Np = number of turns in the primary
Ns = number of turns in the secondary.
Example 1:
The number of primary and secondary windings is 60 and 100
respectively. The secondary voltage is given by 250V, determine the
primary voltage.
Solution:
Given:
Np = 60,
Ns = 100
Vs = 250V
The transformer formula is given by,
Vp / Vs = Np / Ns
Vp = Np / Ns ×Vs
= 60 / 100 x 250
= 150 V
Example 2
The number of primary and secondary windings is 100 and 350
respectively. The primary voltage is given by 200V, determine the
secondary voltage.
Solution:
Given:
Np = 100,
Ns = 350 and
Vp = 200V
The transformer formula is given by,
Vp / Vs = Np / Ns
Vs = Vp×Ns / Np
Vs = 200 × 350 / 100
= 700V
