Spec 6.11P-6.16

What you need to know

  • Describe force on a moving charge
  • Explain a loudspeaker using the motor effect
  • Compare two generator arrangements

Active recall

Quick check

Answer each question before opening the answer.

When does a moving charge feel magnetic force?

When it moves non-parallel to the field

Why does a loudspeaker coil vibrate?

Alternating current repeatedly reverses the motor-effect force

Name two ways to increase induced voltage

For example faster motion or a stronger field
