The Question: If an electric current in a wire
produces a magnetic field, is the reverse true?
…i.e. Does a magnetic field produce a current?
The Answer: Let’s try it out!
no current
• If magnet is stationary, _________
• If magnet is moving in, _________
current
is produced
_________________________
current
•If magnet is moving out, ________
_____________________________________________
is produced in opposite direction
•If the poles of the magnet are
changes direction
reversed,current
___________________
Additional Observations:
• If 2 magnets are used (twice the magnetic field
strength), the current will _________.
double
• If the magnet is moved more slowly, the current will
be ________.
smaller
• If the magnet is continuously moved back and
forth, ___________
alternating ________
current is created!
To summarize all of our observations:
changing magnetic field
• When there is a _________
around a conductor (the coil of wire), a current
________
is induced in the conductor.
• The amount of current induced is related to the
magnetic field and the _____
rate at
strength of the ______________
which the field changes.
Michael Faraday, in England, in
1831 was the first to discover this
phenomenon, termed
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION.
Faraday’s Law quantifies the phenomenon:
The induced voltage (which ultimately can
produce a current) in a coil is proportional to
the product of:
rate at which the magnetic field
• The _____
strength ________
changes within the coil, and the
Number of loops
•________________in
the coil.

An application of Electromagnetic Induction:
OK… so NOT the
“more than meets the
eye” kind, but the
electrical transformer….
Purpose of Transformers: Used to
change or “transform” the voltage in a circuit.
How do they work?
Demo: A pair of coils are
placed side-by-side. One
is connected to a battery
(DC) and one is
connected to an ammeter.
When the switch is closed (or opened) in the
tiny, BRIEF surge of current
primary coil, a
__________________________
occurs in the secondary coil
But, WHY?
• When the switch closes, the current increases
changing current produces a
from zero. This ________
____________________
changing magnetic field around the primary coil.
•This changing magnetic field is “felt” by the
nearby secondary coil, which according to
voltage in the
Faraday’s Law, will induce a _________
secondary coil, (which then produces a current)
The effect is enhanced (larger
current produced in secondary)
if an iron core is added…. DEMO
Why do transformers use AC, and not DC?
The key to obtaining a current in the
secondary coil is to establish a changing
magnetic field in the primary coil. Instead of
using a battery (DC) and switching the
current on/off repeatedly (a little impractical!!)
alternating current
to accomplish this, _____________________
in the primary coil is used.
If DC was used in the primary coil, the
(zero Volts)
output would be Nothing

So… HOW does the voltage change?
If we assume 100% efficient transformers…
Now, if the two output loops are joined in
sum
series, the voltages _____.
Since the secondary coil had more windings
higher
(loops), the secondary voltage was ________.
Step-up transformer.
This is called a _________
Did we just “create” electrical energy?
Of course NOT
____________!!
Energy is always
conserved
_________.
Since POWER is the
rate at which energy is consumed,
_____
POWER is then, also, conserved….

___ V AC on outer (secondary) coil
• PREDICTION: 3 V AC applied to inner (primary) coil
39 V AC on outer (secondary) coil,
will produce ___
because the secondary coil must have ____
13 times the
number of windings as the primary coil.
Note: If the input voltage is applied to the outer coil, it
down
becomes the primary, and the transformer is a step-______.
Electrical Power Distribution
A Typical Scenario…
With the use of transformers, electrical
power is sent across long transmission lines
at ______
HIGH voltages. WHY?
If the voltage is high, the current will be relatively
____,
low so there will be less power loss in the lines.
“The War of the Currents”
In the 1880’s, there was a debate/ battle between
two great scientists – Nikola Tesla and Thomas
Edison over whether to use AC or DC for electric
power distribution.
Tesla:
Advocate
for AC
Edison:
Advocate
for DC
Tesla won because with ____,
AC a transformer can be used to
_______
DC voltage can’t be “transformed” to a
change the voltage. ____
higher voltage which would be necessary to reduce the
power/heat loss in the distribution lines. Edison’s answer to that
problem? “Just build a power station every mile or so”!!
