Θ Θ F = Bilsinθ F = Bilcosθ F = Bilsinθ

This document discusses the motor effect and its applications. It explains that when a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force due to the interaction between the magnetic fields. This effect is used in loudspeakers and DC motors. In loudspeakers, an alternating current produces a changing magnetic field around the coil, causing it to vibrate and move the cone to produce sound. In DC motors, the interaction between the magnetic field of the coil and permanent magnets causes the coil to rotate, powered by current flowing through the coil and carbon brushes.

Advanced concepts associated with motor effect



1)


 DESCRIPTION: When current flows from Y to X, the reading
on the balance would increase.





EXPLANATION:





• When the switch is closed, current flows through the

 conductor and generates a magnetic field around it.


 • The magnetic field around the conductor interacts with the



 magnetic field of the permanent magnet which exerts a

 force on the conductor.


 • According to FLHR, the force on the wire is upward.


 • According to Newton’s 3rd law, the wire exerts an equal &



 opposite force on the magnet downward causing the
reading on the balance to increase.


2) 
 SCENARIO 1 SCENARIO 2 SCENARIO 3














 In scenario 1, the force on the conductor will be maximum because the direction of the current is

 perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field.


 


 In scenario 3, the force on the conductor will be minimum because the direction of the current is

 parallel to the direction of the magnetic field.

 θ2



 θ1
F = BIL sinθ OR F = BIL cosθ2



 In scenario 2, to find the value of the magnetic force, we have to use the



 B equation F = BIL sinθ. The idea is to find the component of the
magnetic field that is perpendicular to the current.









3) Combining magnetic fields/interaction of magnetic fields in motor effect (Catapult effect)
Applications of motor effect

1) Loudspeakers:


The 
 A.C input produces a changing magnetic field. When the magnetic field around the coil interacts with
the 
 magnetic field of the permanent magnet, a force is exerted on the coil. 


 

Since 
 the direction of the magnetic field is changing, the direction of the force on the coil also changes
continuously

 causing it to vibrate. 


 

Since the coil is attached to the cone, the cone also vibrates producing a sound wave.
2) DC motor:


When current flows through the coil, a magnetic field is generated around it. When the magnetic field of the

 permanent magnets and the magnetic fields around the coil interacts, a force is exerted on the coil.



According to FLHR, equal and opposite forces act on each side of the coil causing the coil to rotate. The
carbon brushes create an electrical contact.



*Split-ring commutators reverse the direction of the current after every half turn which ensures that
the coil keeps on rotating in a specific direction.
