WHAT IS ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION?

• MOTORS USE ELECTRICITY TO PRODUCE

MOVEMENT. GENERATORS AND ALTERNATORS
ARE MACHINES THAT USE MOTION TO
PRODUCE ELECTRICITY. THEY USE A PROCESS
CALLED ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
DEMONSTRATING ELECTROMAGNETIC
INDUCTION.
• IF WE MOVE A WIRE ACROSS A MAGNETIC FIELD AT RIGHT ANGLES, A VOLTAGE IS
INDUCED OR GENERATED IN A WIRE. IF THE WIRE IS A PART OF A COMPLETE CIRCUIT,
THERE IS A CURRENT. THIS EVENT IS CALLED ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
• THE SIZE OF INDUCED VOLTAGE CAN BE CHANGED
BY:
• MOVING THE MAGNET MORE QUICKLY
• USING A STRONGER MAGNET
• USING A COILS WITH MORE TURNS
 GENERATORS AND THEIR USES

AN GENERATOR OR A DYNAMO IS USED TOGENERATE

ELECTRICITY FOR EXAMPLE: IT WAS USED TO LIT
BICYCLE HEADLIGHT , AS THE CYCLIST PEDALS, THE
WHEEL ROTATES AND MAKES SMALL MAGNET WITHIN
THE DYNAMO TURN AROUND . AS THIS MAGNET
TURNS, ITS MANETIC FIELD TURNS TOO . THE FIELD
LINES CUT THROUGH THE COIL INDUCING CURRENT IN
IT. THIS CURRENT CAN BE USED YO LIGHT THE
CYCLISTS LIGHTS .

WIRE. THAT IS CONNECTED TO A SENSITIVE AMMETER
WHICH MOVEMENT DOES NOT CAUSE ANY READING ON
THE AMMETER?

A.MOVING A MAGNET TO THE LEFT

B.MOVING THE COIL TO THE RIGHT
C.MOVING BOTH MAGNET AND THE COIL TOWARDS EACH OTHER AT
THE SAME SPEED
