When ordinary AC voltage is applied to a large coil of wire with an iron core, a strong alternating magnetic field is produced. If an aluminum ring is placed over the core and 120 volts AC is connected, a large current is induced in the ring according to Faraday's Law and it is tossed into the air. Note that if the magnetic field on the aluminum ring were perfectly vertical, the magnetic force by the right-hand rule would be radially inward and outward on the ring - and if you hold the ring down, you can hear it hum at 60Hz from that alternating force. But at the location where the magnetic field exits the coil, it diverges and will have radially outward and inward components.The force resulting from those components are upward and downward on the ring. The first upward force pulse will launch the ring into the air. At the end of the video is the contrast with a ring with a slot cut into it so that no circulating induced current is produced.
当普通交流电压加到一个带有铁芯的大线圈上时,会产生一个强的交变磁场。如果将一个铝环放在铁芯上,并连接120伏交流电,根据法拉第定律,环中会产生一个大的电流,并会被抛起。注意,如果铝环上的磁场完全垂直,根据右手定则,磁场力将向环内和向外作用——如果你把环压住,可以听到由于这种交变力而发出的60Hz的嗡嗡声。但在磁场从线圈退出的地点,磁场会发散,并具有径向向外和向内的分量。这些分量产生的力将向上和向下作用于环上。第一个向上的力脉冲将把环抛入空中。视频结尾展示了与一个被切去槽的环的对比,后者没有产生环形感应电流。 |
