Magnet and coil producing electric concept?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of generating electricity by rotating a magnet above a coil of wires, particularly in the context of using kinetic energy from a wind turbine. Participants explore various factors that may influence the power output of this setup.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the factors affecting electricity production, specifically the number of coils, the strength of the magnet, the distance between the magnet and coil, and other potential influences.
  • Another participant suggests that the strength of the magnet and the distance between the magnet and coil are significant factors, while the number of coils primarily affects voltage and current.
  • A third participant explains that the induced voltage in a conductor moving through a magnetic field depends on the velocity of the wire, the magnetic field density, and the length of the wire within the magnetic field, introducing a formula to describe this relationship.
  • This participant also notes that the angle at which the wire cuts through the magnetic field affects the length parameter in the voltage equation, emphasizing the importance of the angle in the induction process.
  • Another contribution highlights that if the wire is not positioned at the correct angle relative to the magnet, the induced electromotive force will be weaker, and parallel positioning may result in no induced force at all.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express varying views on the factors influencing electricity generation, with no consensus reached on the relative importance of each factor or the overall mechanism involved.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention several parameters (velocity, magnetic field density, wire length, angle) that are critical for effective energy conversion, but the discussion does not resolve how these interact in practice or under specific conditions.

I would like to know..what is the concept of rotating a magnet above a coil of wires to produce electricity.. what is the factor affects the power of electricity produce..

1)Is it the number of coil?
2)is it the power of magnet?
3)is it the distance between magnet and coil
4)or anything else..

can u help me with explaining the concept to me.i am trying to produce electricity by using kinetic energy from the wind turbine i construct...on the shaft..i attach the magnet and beneath it i put the coil...when the turbine is rotating,the shaft will rotate and subsequently the magnet will rotate above the coil..

so can anyone please suggest n help me explaining about the concept..
thank you.

1)Is it the number of coil?
2)is it the power of magnet?
3)is it the distance between magnet and coil

It's a function of 2) and 3). I believe 1) only affects the voltage (and current of course).

edit:

I'd say strength for 2) instead of power, though.

1. If a conductor moves or ‘cuts’ through a magnetic field, voltage will be induced between the terminals of the conductor at which the magnitude of the induced voltage is dependent upon the velocity of the wire assuming that the magnetic field is constant. This can be summarised in terms of formulation as shown:
eind = (v x B) l
where:
v – velocity of the wire
B – magnetic field density
l – length of the wire in the magnetic field

2. The value of l (length) is dependent upon the angle at which the wire cuts through the magnetic field. Hence a more complete formula will be as follows:

eind = (v x B)l cosθ

where:
θ - angle between the conductor and the direction of (v x B)

3. The induction of voltages in a wire moving in a magnetic field is fundamental to the operation of all types of generators.

4. Power production is related to prim over mechanical system and electromagnetic system is suitable media for energy conversion. Therefore if you don't use suitable above mentioned parameters (v,B,l,θ), the energy losses increase in duty of energy conversion.

Creative thinking is enjoyable, Then think about your surrounding things and other thought products. http://electrical-riddles.com
 
My studies have led me to understand that, the incident angle needs to be considered as well. If you approach your magnet and the wires are not at right angles(tangental) to it the weaker an induced electromotive force is realized. Just to clarify, if you run your wire relative to the magnet and the relative positions are in parallel, you will not realize a force at all.

Hope that helps
