circuit that is to be measured. Direct-Current Voltmeter The direct-current voltmeter has a horseshoe shaped magnet‚ with a semicircular piece of soft iron attached to each end of the magnet. The iron is also magnetized. The iron ends of the magnet serve to direct the magnetic field in the direction of a small iron cylinder that is positioned between the ends (or poles) of the magnet. Taking advantage of the soft iron’s characteristic to become highly magnetized‚ the iron cylinder focuses the magnetic

This system has no friction because magnets to not have to touch to slow the ride down. The magnets are on the pole and the cart of the ride so that when the cart passes by the magnets on the poles there is a great attraction between them and it slows the ride down to a stop. When the ride is going up it starts off slow and gradually moves faster. This is probably because of the magnets. At first there is some strain on the cords lifting the cart because the magnets are attracting to each other and

playing with magnets as a kid‚ opposite (North and South) polarities attract‚ while like polarities (North and North‚ South and South) repel. The internal configuration of a DC motor is designed to harness the magnetic interaction between a current-carrying conductor and an external magnetic field to generate rotational motion. Let’s start by looking at a simple 2-pole DC electric motor (here red represents a magnet or winding with a "North" polarization‚ while green represents a magnet or winding

Magnetohydrodynamic drive In concept‚ MHD is attractive because it offers a propulsion system that requires no moving parts. It works on a principle similar to that of an electric motor or generator; that is‚ passing an electrical current through a magnetic field creates a force. In an MHD propulsion system‚ a magnetic field is created within the hull‚ and sea water is used to conduct the electric current‚ as shown in the illustrations accompanying this story. The underlying principle is known

Alternator The plans describe how to build a permanent magnet alternator. The alternator can be wired for 12‚ 24 or 48-volt battery charging. Essentially this choice only affects the size of wire and the number of turns per coil. But the tower wiring for the 12-volt version will be much heavier than the

many household items. The brushed DC motor consists of a rotor (the part that rotates) containing several coils of wire. This is attached to the output shaft. The rotor is surrounded by a magnetic field (this is usually a permanent magnet‚ but can be an electro magnet). Electrical connection to the rotor is accomplished via a device called a commutator. A commutator is basically a conductive ring that rotates with the rotor shaft. This ring has been split into segments (there are as many segments

read an article about how a Prius battery could power a house‚ and then I thought about how I could power a house using a rechargeable battery like is found in the Prius. Then I came across the Bedini Wheel‚ an energy producing machine that runs on magnets. I could combine the Bedini Wheel energy to charge a Prius rechargeable battery to power a house’s electrical needs and all the appliances throughout the house. That would take care of the power bills for all the parents and cut down on the use of

demonstrated correlation between the charge and mass of an electron and the behavior of magnetic fields. The lab was divided into four parts. The first three parts were conducted with a compass that was used to locate the magnetic field lines around a bar magnet‚ a solenoid and then a pair of Helmholtz coils. As a result of these trials‚ our observations found evidence that magnetic field lines go from a north magnetic pole to a south magnetic pole. These results were seen in all three magnetic devices.

Although the world may disagree about many issues there is a commonality that continuously unites nations from all over the world‚ and it is a fundamental system in which the world cannot function without‚ the International System of Units (SI). The SI was established in 1960 by the 11th Conference of Weight and Measures; it began with 17 nations including the United States and today has become widely used among 51 nations (Historical). The SI is a metric system of units of measurement and is predominantly
