Figure (1-2)
The magnetic field lines around a long wire
which carries an electric current form concentric circles
around the wire. The direction of the magnetic field is
perpendicular to the wire and is in the direction the
fingers of your right hand would curl if you wrapped
them around the wire with your thumb in the direction
of the current. Figure (1-3)

Solenoid
Introduction
When a current carrying wire is in a magnetic field a force is exerted on the wire:
The main point, here, is that these three vectors are all at right angles to one another, as
represented by the "cross product" (Right Hand Rule). If the magnetic field is pointing
down and the current (positive charges) runs left to right the force will be toward the "rear",
as in the photo .
If you reverse the direction of the current, the force on the wire will be toward the
"front". This is shown nicely by the demonstration apparatus we used. A power supply
provides about 20 Amperes of current and the wire is hinged at the top of the support. A
strong magnet provides a field from top to bottom.
Apparatus
- Power supply
- Different wires length
- Electrical tools
Procedure

Practical Work Week 1
1. Any wire that carries a current will have a magnetic field created around it. For a long
straight wire, the field encircles the wire. If a second wire is next to this wire in the
magnetic field of the first wire and it carries a current, there will be a force on the
second wire proportional to the current it carries and the strength of the magnetic field
of the first wire.
Force on wire 2 = (current in wire 2)(Length of wire 2) x (Magnetic field of wire 1)
Force on wire 1 = (current in wire 1)(Length of wire 1) x (Magnetic field of wire 2)

3. You can remember this from the demonstration with a coiled loop of aluminum wire .
When a current of 30 A was passed through the wire, the coil contracted and jumped
up. When the coil left the puddle of mercury at the bottom, the current was cut, the
magnetic fields disappeared and the coil relaxed. Then it touched the mercury, current
flowed again and the coil contracted and jumped.

configuration, the magnetic field INSIDE the coil is very strong and the magnetic field
OUTSIDE the coil is very weak, nearly zero. Also, for a STRAIGHT solenoid, the
magnetic field is independent of where you are inside the solenoid (how far from the
axis) :
Apparatus
- Power supply
- Different wires length
- Electrical tools
Procedure
1 This equation is only for a straight
solenoid. If you bend it into an arc or
into a complete "donut", called a
"torroid", the magnetic field is NOT
uniform inside but depends on how
close you are to the inner or outer
edge. (See figure (1-2).
F
igure (1-6)
2 The solenoid has practical applications in such things as mechanical relays, like the
Bendix device that operates the starter on your car. The magnetic field of a solenoid
showed up very nicely when I sprinkled iron filings on a transparent, loosely wound
solenoid through which I passed 20 Amperes of current. Because it is loosely wound
and short, there is some magnetic field outside the solenoid. The magnetic field is zero
outside a long, tightly would solenoid only.

Procedure :
1. Place the machine to be disassembled on a clear and solid surface (work- bench).
2. Clean the outside surface of the machine, fig. (2.1), to remove dirt and grease with a
dry piece of cloth or a brush with a little amount of kerosene. Water should not be
used.
3. Mark the end plates, fig. (2.1) and the frame of the machine with a file or a marking
pen. This will help in identifying the matching parts and reassembling them
correctly
4. Unscrew all the screws with the right size tool used only for screws, like double
open and wrenches and socket set. Do not use any tool not intended to be used with
screws. If the screws do not move due to rust or any other cause, use rust remover.
5. Open the end plate at the rotor side, on the other side the leads of the field and
armature windings are present. Work carefully, so as not to disconnect any lead.
6. Clean the inside of the machine carefully with compressed air or with a piece of
cloth. A painting brush can be used with a little amount of any liquid intended for
cleaning. Make sure not to allow the liquid to infiltrate into the windings and
damage the insulators.

7. Remove the brushes from the brush holders as shown in fig. (2.1). Inspect the
holding spring for any damage.
8. Remove the armature as shown in (2.1), and place all the pieces in a box for
reassembling the machine.
9. Inspect and clean the various parts.
10. Reassemble the machine in the opposite sequence.

A self-excited generator is one that receives the current for its field from the
armature of the machine it self there are several different types of self excited
generators, depending on the connections of the armature sand the field
winding. In the shunt generator, when the external circuit is closed, the armature
current divides, a small parts passing through the shunt field winding and the
and the reminder through the external circuit in these type of generator its
desired to have the field current of a relatively small value. The field winding
therefore consists of a large number of turns of small wires the connection of the
self excited shunt generator and its conventional wiring diagram are shown in
figure 2. in this diagram, there is a rheostat in series with the field winding so as
to vary the field current if desired.

Because of the higher resistance in the auxiliary winding, the current lags the
voltage by a smaller angle than in the main winding. This difference in phase is sufficient
to start the motor and bring it up to speed. When this point is reached, the centrifugal
switch disconnects the starting winding from the line and the motor operates on the main
winding only. Applications for split-phase motors fall into two general classes:
1) Those which require frequent starting and a relatively large total running
time per year; oil burners and domestic refrigerators.
2) Those requiring infrequent starting and a relatively small total running
time; home-laundry equipment, home workshops, cellar drainers.

However, the starting torque of this motor is quite low. The capacitor-run motors
are generally used for special-purpose applications such as shaft-mounted fans, blowers,
instruments and servomotors.

Capacitor start / capacitor run motors are more efficient and require less running
current than motors with start capacitors only. These motors have two capacitors in series
with the main stator winding .Start capacitors have a high capacity while the run capacitors
do not. One optimizes starting torque while another optimizes running characteristics.
Throughout both starting and operation all the windings in the motor remain energized.
Apparatus
1. One capacitor start- capacitor run motor
2. One power supply
3. One single-phase wattmeter
4. One AC instrumentation group
5. One tachometer
