Whenever a current flows through a wire, magnetic lines of force are created around the wire. The magnetic lines leave the inside of the loop at the north pole, flow around the outside of the loop, and re-enter at the south pole a just like a bar magnet. Right-hand rule, Straight Wire The direction of current flow can be determined by applying the right-Hand Rule.

Whenever a current flows through a wire, magnetic lines of force are created aro und the wire. These lines of force are small concentric circles formed around th e wire. These circular lines of magnetic force have no polarity.

Right-Hand Rule, Straight Wire The direction of current flow can be determined by applying the right-Hand Rule. Right-Hand Rule, Straight Wire Grasp a straight conductor with your right hand with your fingers on the leading side of the conductor, with your right hand with your fingers on the leading si de of the conductor, and pointed in the direction of the magnetic lines of force . Your thumb will then point in the direction of current flow. Electromagnetism When a wire carrying electric current is wound into a coil, a magnetic field wit h north and south poles is created, just as in a bar magnet. If an iron core is placed inside the coil, the magnetic field becomes much stronger because iron co nducts magnetic lines more easily than air. Electromagnetism Electromagnetism An iron core can increase the strength of the magnetic field by as much as 2500 times This arrangement, called an electromagnet, is used in alternators to creat e strong magnetic fields by winding many turns of current-carrying wire around i ron core called pole pieces. Electromagnetic Facts The number of magnetic lines of force is proportional to the number of ampere tu rns of the coil. The number of magnetic lines of force is inversely proportional to the field reluctance. Electromagnetic Facts High reluctance = fewer lines of force. Lower reluctance = more lines of force. Electromagnetic Induction When a magnetic field is moved so its lines of force cut across a wire or conduc tor. When a voltage is generated by magnetic lines of force cutting across a con ductor, the process is called electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic Induction Electromagnetic Induction In an alternator, the field moves, and the conductor is stationary. In a generat or, the conductor moves, and the field is stationary. In an alternator, a magnet is rotated inside the stationary conductor so lines of force cut across the con ductor. Electromagnetic Induction Voltage is induced in the stationary conductor, called a stator. The rotating ma gnet is called the rotor. Right Hand Rule for Coils With lines of force leaving the coil at one end and entering at the other, a nor th and south pole are formed at the coil ends, the same as in a bar magnet. To f ind polarity of the coil ends, apply the Right-Hand Rule for coils. If the curre nt direction through the coil is reversed, the polarity of the coil ends will al so reverse. Relay Operation Relay Operation A relay, which is actually a switch, provides a way to control a large amount of current with a small amount. Typically, a relay has both a control circuit and a power circuit. The control circuit is fed current by the power source. Relay Operation The current flows through a switch and an electromagnetic coil to ground. The po wer circuit is likewise fed current from the power source, and the current flows to an armature, which can be attracted by the magnetic force on the coil. Relay Operation When the control circuit switch is open, no current flows to the relay and the c oil is not energized. The contacts are open and no power goes to the loads. Relay Operation When the control circuit switch is closed, however, current flows to the relay a nd energizes the coil. Relay Operation The resulting magnetic field allows power to the load by pulling the armature do wn and closing the contacts. Solenoid Operation Solenoid Operation Solenoid Operation Solenoids are electromagnetic switches. The solenoids movable core converts current flow into mechanical movement. In a pulling-type solenoid, the magnetic field p ulls the core into the coil or holds the core in place. These solenoids are call ed magnetic switches. Solenoid Operation In a push-pull-type solenoid, the core is a permanent magnet. The core is pulled in or pushed out when current flow direction is changed. Solenoids are now bein g used in automatic transmissions to control shifting. They eliminate the need f or a TV cable and governor.
