6: (d) Electromagnetic induction

#6.15

know that a voltage is induced in a conductor or a coil when it moves through a magnetic field or when a magnetic field changes through it and describe the factors that affect the size of the induced voltage

#6.16

describe the generation of electricity by the rotation of a magnet within a coil of wire and of a coil of wire within a magnetic field, and describe the factors that affect the size of the induced voltage

#6.17P

describe the structure of a transformer, and understand that a transformer changes the size of an alternating voltage by having different numbers of turns on the input and output sides

#6.18P

explain the use of step-up and step-down transformers in the large-scale generation and transmission of electrical energy

#6.19P

know and use the relationship between input (primary) and output (secondary) voltages and the turns ratio for a transformer:

input (primary) voltageoutput (secondary) voltage=primary turnssecondary turns\dfrac{\text{input (primary) voltage}}{\text{output (secondary) voltage}} = \dfrac{\text{primary turns}}{\text{secondary turns}}

#6.20P

Input power = output power

know and use the relationship:

input power = output power

VpIp=VsIsV_pI_p = V_sI_s
