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.

How do you change the direction of a magnetic field?

You can change the direction of a magnetic field by reversing the flow of electric current in a wire or by changing the orientation of a permanent magnet. Alternating the direction of current in a coil can also reverse the direction of the magnetic field it produces.


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.


Is the magnet in a compass a permanent or electromagnet?

The magnet in a compass is a permanent magnet. It retains its magnetism without the need for an external electrical current.


Is electromagnet a permanent magnet?

No, an electromagnet is not a permanent magnet. It is a magnet that produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it, and the magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off.

What would you do to change the direction and increase the strength of the field?

To change the direction of the magnetic field, you can reverse the direction of the current flow in a wire or change the orientation of the magnet. To increase the strength of the magnetic field, you can increase the current flow in a wire, increase the number of coils in a solenoid, or use a stronger magnet.


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.


How is a electromagnet diffrent then a permanent magnet?

An electromagnet is a temporary magnet that only produces a magnetic field when an electric current is flowing through it, while a permanent magnet retains its magnetism without needing an external electric current. Additionally, the strength of an electromagnet can be easily adjusted by changing the amount of current flowing through it, while the strength of a permanent magnet is fixed.
