Electromagnetism 2 Mind Map 17/06/2021 1:37:06 PM Torque DC and AC Generators DC Motors The turning effect of a force. It causes rotation about a pivot. Turn movement into electrical current Turn electrical current into movement Force: constant size but changes direction every half cycle DC: Split Ring Commutator Torque: constant direction but continually changes size. AC: Slip Ring Commutator Making Magnetic Fields Current Right Hand Grip Solenoid T he Motor Effect A current carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences a force. Electromagnetism Induction Faraday’s Law: The EMF induced in a wire or coil is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux. Lenz’s Law : An induced current flows in a direction that opposes the change that produced it.
