Electromagnetism
Across
- 1. Transformer A type of transformer that decreases the voltage from the primary winding to the secondary winding. It has fewer turns in the secondary coil than the primary coil.
- 4. A coil of wire wound in the shape of a cylinder that produces a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. It is often used to generate controlled magnetic fields.
- 5. A type of transformer that increases the voltage from the primary winding to the secondary winding. It has more turns in the secondary coil than the primary coil.
- 6. A phenomenon by which materials exert attractive or repulsive forces on other materials. It arises from the movement of electric charges within atoms.
- 7. A rule used to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying conductor. It relates the current, magnetic field, and force using the thumb and curl of the fingers.
- 10. The unit of magnetic field strength. It is equal to one newton per square ampereâ‹…meter.
- 12. The moving part of an electric motor or generator. It consists of coils of wire wrapped around a core and rotates within a magnetic field, generating electric current.
- 15. A region within a magnetic material where the magnetic moments of atoms or molecules are aligned in the same direction, creating a net magnetic field.
- 16. A rule used to determine the direction of the magnetic field produced by a current in a solenoid.
- 17. A type of commutator used to reverse the direction of the current in an electric motor's coil, ensuring continuous rotation in the same direction. Found in DC motors and DC generators.
- 18. A commutator with a ring divided into two or more segments, used to reverse current direction in the coil. Found in AC generators and some AC motors.
- 19. The physicist who in 1820 observed that an electric current produces a magnetic field, which was a pivotal moment in the study of electromagnetism.
- 20. This law states that the direction of the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor loop is such that it opposes the change that produced it. It is a consequence of conservation of energy.
Down
- 2. This law states that a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a closed circuit. The magnitude of the induced EMF is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
- 3. The measure of the quantity of magnetic field lines passing through a given area.
- 8. A region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.
- 9. instrument that indicates direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. It aligns with the Earth's magnetic field, pointing towards the magnetic north.
- 11. A rule used to determine the direction of the magnetic force produced by a current-carrying wire or an electric charge moving in a magnetic field.
- 13. A device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It operates based on the interaction between magnetic fields and electric currents.
- 14. A device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
