Permanent magnet field motors. With a these motors, a permanent magnet is used to replace the field coil. DC power is connected via the brushes, to the armature only. Reversing the polarity, will cause the motor to reverse its direction of rotation. It is very common to use a switch to intentionally reverse to the polarity, to allow reversal of the motor if desired.

What is used to test permanent magnet generators?

you get it up to operating speed and see if it delivers full load voltage and current. if it has been severely overloaded the permanent magnet can be discharged causing the output to be low


What is the difference between a permanent magnet and a temporary magnet?

Temporary magnet: good example is an electromagnet. It maintains magnetic attraction only so long as an electric current surrounds it. Permanent magnet: most common. Example: bar magnet. Will maintain magnetic properties for quite a while, although they can be eventually demagnetized.


What are the advantages of Permanent magnet over Electromagnet?

Unlike a permanent magnet, an electromagnet can be turned on and off. One useful advantage of this: Place a metal bar inside the electromagnet, apply current through the electromagnet in one direction, and the magnetic field would move that bar one way -- reverse the current reverses the magnetic field and the bar would move the opposite way. You could use that effect and make an electronically controlled lock for a door.


What is a Compound Wound Traction Motor?

It is a Direct Current Motor which is wound and creates a magnetic field when energized and does not use a permanent magnet. Jeff S.


What happens when a permanent magnet moving coil instrument be connected in an ac current?

The torque on the moving coil will reverse at twice the frequency of the supply, causing the pointer to vibrate. High-quality a.c. measuring instruments that incorporate a moving coil are, of course, common but incorporate a rectification circuit to supply the coil.

What will be the direction of flow of current in inductor circuit without any source?

With no source, there would be NO current flow. However, if a magnet were to be swiped past the inductor, a charge would be *induced* into the inductor, creating a small. The direction of current flow would depend on which way the magnet was swiped. If you reverse: magnet direction, magnet pole, or the winding direction, you will reverse the flow of current in the inductor. Yes, I mean induced, not inducted. To induct is to introduce, and to induce is to persuade.


How does the voice coil interacts with the magnet on the very bottom of the speaker?

The magnet is permanent, and the voice coil magnetism alternates with the current, pushing the cone outward against the magnet or pulling it inward towards the magnet as the current changes direction.


Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnetic or an electromagnet?

PermanentThere is no source of current in a compass, therefore the magnet is a permanent magnet.


Is not a permanent magnet?

An electromagnet is a magnet while an electric current is running through the coil. Turn off the current and it is no longer magnetised, and is, therefore, not a permanent magnet.


What can be done with an electromagnet that cannot be done with a regular permanent magnet?

Its strength can be easily manipulated (e.g. you can switch it off). Or the strength can be varied with the current. Electromagnets can reverse polarity (by reversing the current).


How can the magnetism of a permanent magnet be weakened or removed?

Put it in a coil which has an alternating current in it. The AC current produces a magnetic field in the coil which alternates with the changing voltage. This changes the magnetism of the permanent magnet. Gradually reduce the current in the coil and the permanent magnet will end up unmagnetised.

What is a substance in which the domains are all alingned in the same direction?

A permanent magnet has most of its domains arranged it the same direction.


Disadvantage of permanent magnet generator?

since the magnet are place in north and north direction or south and south direction, the magnet will continue to loose it magnetic force of attraction. for more question call me on 2348133605375.

What is the role of permanent magnets in a speaker?

The electromagnet is positioned in a constant magnetic field created by a permanent magnet. These two magnets -- the electromagnet and the permanent magnet -- interact with each other as any two magnets do. The positive end of the electromagnet is attracted to the negative pole of the permanent magnetic field, and the negative pole of the electromagnet is repelled by the permanent magnet's negative pole. When the electromagnet's polar orientation switches, so does the direction of repulsion and attraction. In this way, the alternating current constantly reverses the magnetic forces between the voice coil and the permanent magnet. This pushes the coil back and forth rapidly, like a piston.
