We have seen how a conducting wire moving with respect to an electric field ( B ) will experience forces upon its electrons. Consider the diagram below: Due to the proper ( perpendicular ) alignment of the loop and magnetic field, the maximum amount of DC current will be produced; however the voltages and currentsContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: DC Motors”

INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: DC Generator Fundamentals
In order to understand how DC generators produce electricity, it is crucial to understand how the relative motion of a conductor moving through a magnetic field ( B ) induces forces that put the conductor’s electrons into motion; however, prior to engaging in a discussion about electromagnetic induction, we must briefly re-examine how the magneticContinue reading “INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONICS: DC Generator Fundamentals”
