The Generator Effect and Magnetic Flux (Leaving Cert Physics): Flashcards

Changing magnetic field creates current in conductor

Electromotive force

Mechanical energy converted to electrical energy

Magnetic field must be changing (not just present)

No current flows

Current flows in opposite directions

Amount of magnetic field passing through an area

$Φ$ (phi)

$Φ = BA$

Weber (Wb)

$1 \text{ Wb} = 1 \text{ T·m}^2$

Induced current opposes the change that produced it
