6 Magnetism – Part D “Induction”

Syllabus Aims…

6.15 know that a voltage is induced in a conductor or a coil when it moves through a magnetic field or when a magnetic field changes through it and describe the factors which affect the size of the induced voltage.

6.16 describe the generation of electricity by the rotation of a magnet within a coil of wire and of a coil of wire within a magnetic field and describe the factors which affect the size of the induced voltage.

6.17P describe the structure of a transformer, and understand that a transformer changes the size of an alternating voltage by having different numbers of turns on the input and output sides (Triple)

6.18P explain the use of step-up and step-down transformers in the large scale generation and transmission of electrical energy (Triple)

6.19P know and use the relationship between input (primary) and output (secondary) voltages and the turns ratio for a transformer: (Triple)

input (primary) voltage / output (secondary) voltage = primary turns / secondary turns

$\frac{V_{p}}{V_{s}} = \frac{N_{p}}{N_{s}}$

6.20P know and use the relationship: (Triple)

input power = output power (for 100% efficiency).

$V_{p} \times I_{p} = V_{s} \times I_{s}$

This video covers:
- The idea that the movement of a wire within a magnetic field induces a potential difference, and that this may lead to a current if the circuit is complete
- How we can increase the size of the current
- What happens when we place a magnet inside a coil
