Term
What is the equation for Force on a charge (q) moving with velocity (v) through a magnetic field (B) ?
Definition

F = QvBsinq

 

Where q is the angle between the magnetic field and velocity of the charge.

Term
What is Lenz's Law?
Definition

Lenz's Law states that induced current will create a MAGNETIC field opposing the inducing magnetic field.

 

(resist change)

Term
What is Faraday's law of induction?
Definition

Changing magnetic flux induces an emf.

 

Term

True or False:

 

1. A magnetic field is generated by a moving charge

2. A moving charge experiences force when moving through a magnetic field.

3. A changing electric field creates a magnetic field.

4. A changing magnetic field creates an electric field.

5. A charge creates a magnetic field

 

 

Definition

1,2,3,4 are all True.

 

5 is FALSE! A stationary charge does not create a magnetic field, but a moving charge (current) does.

Term

Alternating Current 

 

1. What is Vmax in terms of Vrms?

 

2. What is imax in terms of irms?

Definition

1. Vmax =  (2)^1/2 *Vrms

 

2. imax =  (2)^1/2 *irms

Term

True or False:

The magnetic field created by a long straight current carrying wire vary inversely with the square of the distance from the wire.

Definition
False. Magnetic field varies inversely with the distance from the wire.
