Electromagnetic
Purpose of electromagnetic: is branch of physic that study the relationship

between electricity and magnetism and how electrical charge produce electric
In the field of electrical technology we
conductor or trouble shooting , circuit breaker it is easy to get lost in the hard Ware , how ever if you
stop away the insulation and the copper you find that the entire in industrial is built upon a single foundation module of the universe
". Electromagnetism"

For any electrical technologist , electromagnetism is More than physic concept , it is the function
interface between energy and work it's invirseble force that that allows us to generate the power in the valley and use it light skyscraper 500 miles away
The generations module : faraday's legacy
The story electrical technology begin with : electromagnetic induction : this is the process using magnetic field to create electrical current in almost every power plant on earth whether it is use wind , water , or stream the core technology is the generator
Inside the generator we use mechanic energy to spin a rotor ( a set of magnetic 🧲 ) inside stators
Stationary coil of copper wire as the 🧲 line of flux
Cut through the copper conductor they push ' electronic create electronic , create electromotive force (EMF) this is generation module
Of the Grobal grid we are not actually creating energy we are using electromagnetic field as medium to convert mechanic motion into flow of charge
The transformation module : efficiency at scale
Once electrical is generated: we face the challenges of transmission . If we sent electricity over long
distances at low voltage the resistance in the wire
Would turn all that energy into useless heat
This is where the transformation come in device
That is purely electromagnetic
Transformer : Has no moving part it is relies on principle called mature induction
When alternative current ( AC) flows through primary primary coils , it create constantly changing magnetic field in the iron core
This field then " induces" voltage in the second coil by changing the ratio of wire turn between two coil
We can step up voltage for efficient travel or step down for safe home use without this electromagnetic ' module ' our modern centralized
Power grid would be physical impossible
The motor : converting field to force
If the generator is the heart of the electrical world motor is muscle while faraday show us how's to turn motion into electricity . The Lorentz force law
Explain
The reverse in an industrial setting over 60% of all generated power is consumer by motor . This is the motor effective when electrical current pass through magnetic field is experience physical force
Through magnetic field it experience physical force
Inside a three phases induction motor we see the most elegant application of electromagnetism we provide power to the stationary coil ( stator coils)
Which create Rotating magnetic field
This field literally " drags" the rotor a long with it the is no physical connection no gear , no belts inside of housing only invisible tether of magnetic flux for technologist understandings this " slip" and torque is Vital whether it is massive 500 HP pump precision servo we are simply modulating electromagnetic strength dictate physical work
Managing magnetic inertia
As technologist you just don't build circuit you protect them, this requires understanding inductance when current pass through a conductor the magnetic field actually creating oppose any changes in that current lenz's law's
The electromagnetic " stubborn is why's we see massive inrush current when we starting motor
This is also the principal behind the circuit you protect them this requires understanding" the inside of the breaker is small electromagnetic coil
If short circuit occur the massive spike in current create a magnetic field strong enough to instantly
Pull trip function our copper conductor would melt long before we could react to fault

Perhaps the most participle application for modern electrician is non contact testing when we are use clamp meter to measure Ampere you not breaking
Circuit or touch live wire instantly" jaws" of you meter act as transform core capturing magnetic field radiating from the conductor converting it into digitally reading
Similar when you trouble shooting a human transformers , you are hearing the physical vibration of the iron lamination are the expanding
Contract 60 minute per second due to magnets Ric toon to untrained eyes , cable is just pressurized pipe of electromagnetic potential
