Electromagnetic Induction

  • This is the idea that magnetism can travel from one object to another even though they are insulated.
  • An example of how magnetic induction is used is in transformers.
  • Two coils of wire are wrapped around an iron core.
  • The primary coils are connected to the power supply.
  • The secondary coils are connected to the device.
  • An electromagnetic field is created from the primary coils.
  • This induces a magnetic field in the core.
  • This in turn induces a current in the secondary coil.
  • The number of coils is proportion to the amount of voltage so a transformer is used to increase or decrease the voltage.
  • Secondary voltage/primary voltage = Secondary turns/primary turns.
