· If you…
· Turn the powerpack to dc
No current is induced in the Secondary Coil. To induce current you need a changing magnetic field and this is not produced by applying dc to the Primary Coil
· Turn the powerpack to ac
ac is induced in the Secondary Coil. To induce current you need a changing magnetic field and this is produced by applying ac to the Primary Coil
3. Increase the number of turns in the Secondary Coil
The size of the induced voltage in the secondary coils increases
4. Increase the voltage on the Primary Coil
The size of the induced voltage in the secondary coils increases
5. Decrease the number of turns in the Secondary Coil
The size of the induced voltage in the secondary coils decreases
6. Decrease the voltage on the Primary Coil
The size of the induced voltage in the secondary coils decreases

· 6.19 recall and use the relationship between input (primary) and output (secondary) voltages and the turns ratio for a transformer:
input (primary) voltage = primary turns
output (secondary) voltage secondary turns
Vp/Vs = np/ns

· What’s the motor effect?
· "If there’s a magnetic field perpendicular to a current in a wire, the wire moves in a direction perpendicular to the field and the current" (FLHR)
· So what about if we move a wire in a magnetic field? What happens in the wire?
<<current induced in a moving wire.swf>>
· When we move a wire in a magnetic field, a current is induced in the wire

· 6.15 recall 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; also recall the factors which affect the size of the induced voltage

7. Change the coil for one with more turns of wire and push the North pole of the magnet into the coil
A larger negative current
8. Push the North pole of a neodymium (strong) magnet into the coil
A larger negative current

· Explain carefully how you can induce a current in a wire (3 marks)
· State 3 ways you can increase the size of this induced current (3 marks)
Answers
· The wire must be perpendicular to a magnetic field
· The wire and magnetic field must move relative to each other – the wire must “cut” through the magnetic field lines/lines of magnetic flux as it moves
· A current is induced in the wire. The induced current is perpendicular to both the field and the motion
· Increase the strength of the magnets
· Increase the speed of the relative motion
· Use a coil of wire instead of a single piece of wire
