Grade 11 Physics Alternate E-Day Project - Electrodynamics - Sandra Kuhn | Laabri

Akwankyerɛ

This coursework will introduce you to Electrodynamics.

We will start off with Fields, specifically magnetic and electric fields and then move on to electrodynamics and finally see how a DC Motor functions.

Watch the relevant videos and answer the questions that follow.

Please ensure you have your Physics Textbook with you.

Scan the QR Code. Password (it is case sensitive) is found inside cover of your textbook.

In the Prezi menu click on Electromagnetism. Read through this presentation and answer the questions that follow.

Watch the video on d.c. motors to help you understand how a current carrying conductor can experience a force.

3

Explain how we can increase the Force acting on a wire according to the following diagram.

2

The best angle between the current in the wire and magnetic field, to experience maximum force is? (you may make more than one selection)

The following image explains why the force exerted on the current carrying conductor exists and also in which direction it is exerted.

null

Fleming's left hand rule allows us to determine the direction of the force on the wire. Study the rule in the diagram below.

null

Flemming’s left hand rule

Hold the thumb, first finger and second finger of the left hand at right-angles to each other. Align the second finger with the direction of the current in the conductor. The first finger points in the direction of the external magnetic field.

The thumb points in the direction of the magnetic force or thrust experienced by the conductor and this is the direction that the conductor will move.

Watch the video to see how the split-ring commutator aids the continuous rotation of the armature.

Arrange the following choices in the correct sequence in order to explain how a simple d.c. motor works

the split ring reverses the direction of the current in the coil every half turn.
one side will experience a force downward and the other side will experience a force upwards
the magnetic field interacts with the field of the magnet causing a force to be exerted on the coil
the armature rotates
the current creates a magnetic field around the coil
which reverses the forces on acting on the coil
d.c. current passes through the coil
which keeps the coil spinning in one direction

1

Predict which direction the armature would spin.

Clockwise

Anti-clockwise
