Do now! Can you finish the questions you started last lesson? Last lesson - Electromagnetic induction If a magnet is moved inside a coil an electric current is induced (produced) COPY this please! Electromagnetic induction A electric current is induced because the magnetic field around the coil is changing. Can you stick this in please? Generator/dynamo A generator works by rotating a coil in a magnetic field (or rotating a magnet in a coil). A slip-ring commutator produces alternating current (a.c.) COPY this please!

Measured in Ohms (Ω) V Resistance = voltage/current A R = V/I Ohm’s Law • V = IR V I X ☺ R Can you copy this please? Power The amount of energy changed/transformed by a device per second, measured in Watts (Joules per second) A V Power = voltage x current P = VI Today’s lesson - Transformers Can you gather around Mr Porter? Transformers A transformer consists of 3 main parts Transformers A changing current in the primary coil produces a changing magnetic field in the core. This changing magnetic field induces a changing current in the secondary coil. Changing voltages The ratio of the number of turns on the coils equals the ratio of the voltages # of turns = Np # of turns = Ns Vp/Vs = Np/Ns Changing voltages A transformer where the voltage rises is called a step-up transformer Changing voltages A transformer where the voltage falls is called a step-down transformer No energy for nothing However, no new energy is made No energy for nothing Power in = power out VpIp = VsIs a.c. only Because transformers rely on induction (changing fields), they only work with alternating current (a.c.) Why do we need transformers? Why do we need transformers? Current flowing through wires causes them to get hot and energy is lost. Why do we need transformers? Keeping the current low means electricity can be transported long distances without losing too much energy. Why do we need transformers? However, in order to send a large quantity of energy, high voltages are needed. Transmission of Electricity Step-up Step-down Let’s try some questions!
