Q: A loop that consists of 200 ( N ) turns and an area ( A ) of 0.25 m2 is located in a downward-directed magnetic field ( B ) of 0.40 T. Additionally, the loop’s coils have a resistance ( R ) of 5.0 Ω. If the coils are crushed to an area ofContinue reading “MAGNETISM AND ELECTROMAGNETISM: Lenz’ Law”

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Magnetism and the Magnetic Field
The concept of “ free space “ may be visually appealing to the senses, but this perception very rarely ( if ever ) describes any meaningful description of any region of space. This argument can easily be confirmed with objects as simple as paper clips and refrigerator magnets. Under the right conditions, seemingly magical forcesContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Magnetism and the Magnetic Field“
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Magnetic Field Intensity and Hysteresis
Please recall that the magnetomotive force ( Fm ) equation shows how the magnitude of current ( I ) flowing through ( N ) loops of wire determine how much flux ( ɸ ) is established within a metal core around which the wire is wrapped: Fm = NI It is important to remember thatContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Magnetic Field Intensity and Hysteresis”
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Permeability and Reluctance of Magnetic Materials
Many uncanny comparisons can be made between the behavior of electric currents and magnetic flux ( ϕ ) within conductive materials. In the same way that some materials conduct current better than others, metallic materials differentially provide pathways through which magnetic flux can permeate. The permeability ( μ ) of any material is relative toContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Permeability and Reluctance of Magnetic Materials”
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Magnetic Flux Density
Magnetic field lines represent regions of space that have the ability to enact forces upon charged particles in motion. Likewise, a stationary charged particle will experience a force from a nearby magnet when it is put into motion. Time and time again, we will see that the magnitude of the force enacted by a magneticContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: Magnetic Flux Density“
