    This document provides information about motors and generators through text and videos. It explains: - The purpose of a generator is to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy by inducing current through a magnetic field. A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical motion. - The key components of both generators and motors are an armature and magnetic poles, though their other components differ. Generators use slip rings and brushes to produce alternating current, while motors use a commutator to produce direct current. - Fleming's left-hand rule demonstrates the relationship between magnetic fields, current direction, and force for both generators and motors. Electricity is generated in a generator when a wire cuts through a magnetic field. Increasing the magnetic field

    1) Read the following page


    https://www.bbc.com/bitesize/guides/zgb9hv4/revision/2
    Or watch this video
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=gQyamjPrw-U&feature=emb_title
    Based on the reading/video answer the following questions

    A. What is the purpose of a generator?


    A generator converts magnetism and movement into electricity by induction.
    B. List the components of a generator.
    - Armature (A,B,C,D)
    - Field Magnet
    - Slip Rings (S1, S2)
    - Brushes (B1, B2)
    - Load (Galvanometer)

    2) Read the following page ​https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zg7t4j6/revision/5


    o r watch the video

    What is the purpose of a motor?


    A motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It transforms electricity into
    movement with magnetism.
    List the components of a motor.
    - Armature
    - South Pole & North Pole
    - Brushes
    - Commutator Segment
    3) compare motors and generators.

    Motors Generators

    Takes (input) Electric current/ Electricity Mechanical Energy/


    Movement

    Produces (output) Mechanical Energy/ Electric Current/Electricity


    Movement

    Type of current related to DC AC Generators


    (A/C or D/C)

    Parts - Armature - Armature (A,B,C,D)


    - South Pole & North - Field Magnet
    Pole - Slip Rings (S1, S2)
    - Brushes - Brushes (B1, B2)
    - Commutator Segment - Load (Galvanometer)
    - coil - coil

    Fleming hand rule (left or right left


    right)

    4) Explain the ​Fleming's hand rule.

    5) In a generator, a wire is placed in a magnetic field. Under what conditions is the electricity
    generated?
    The generator uses the mechanical energy applied to the wires to force a movement to the electric
    charges within the wires that creates the output electric current.
    6) How can you increase the size of the voltage induced in a generator?
    You can increase the size of the voltage by increasing the amount of volts in the batteries or in other
    words, increase the strength of the magnetic field.
    7) Answer the question purposed in the picture.
    II, III

    8) what is the difference between induction and conduction?


    Conduction creates electricity by forming a direct contact while induction is the process of creating
    electricity without making any direct contact.
