The electromechanical-energy-conversion process takes place through the medium of the
electric or magnetic field of the conversion device of which the structures depend on their
respective functions.
Transducers: microphone, pickup, sensor, loudspeaker
Force producing devices: solenoid, relay, electromagnet
Continuous energy conversion equipment: motor, generator
This chapter is devoted to the principles of electromechanical energy conversion and the
analysis of the devices accomplishing this function. Emphasis is placed on the analysis of
systems that use magnetic fields as the conversion medium.
The concepts and techniques can be applied to a wide range of engineering situations
involving electromechanical energy conversion.
Based on the energy method, we are to develop expressions for forces and torques in
magnetic-field-based electromechanical systems.
The Lorentz Force Law gives the force F on a particle of charge q in the presence of
electric and magnetic fields.
F : newtons, q : coulombs, E : volts/meter, B : telsas, v : meters/second
In a pure electric-field system,
F = qE (3.2)

Figure 3.2 Single-coil rotor for Example 3.1.
Unlike the case in Example 3.1, most electromechanical-energy-conversion devices contain
magnetic material.
Forces act directly on the magnetic material of these devices which are constructed of
rigid, nondeforming structures.
The performance of these devices is typically determined by the net force, or torque,
acting on the moving component. It is rarely necessary to calculate the details of the
internal force distribution.
Just as a compass needle tries to align with the earth’s magnetic field, the two sets of
fields associated with the rotor and the stator of rotating machinery attempt to align, and
torque is associated with their displacement from alignment.
In a motor, the stator magnetic field rotates ahead of that of the rotor, pulling on it
and performing work.
For a generator, the rotor does the work on the stator.
Consider the electromechanical systems whose predominant energy-storage mechanism is in
magnetic fields. For motor action, we can account for the energy transfer as

Note the generator action.
The ability to identify a lossless-energy-storage system is the essence of the energy method.
This is done mathematically as part of the modeling process.
For the lossless magnetic-energy-storage system of Fig. 3.3(a), rearranging (3.9) in form
of (3.10) gives
dW elec (^) = dW mech+ dW fld (3.11)
where
dW mech (^) = f fld dx = differential mechanical energy output
dW fld = differential change in magnetic stored energy
Here e is the voltage induced in the electric terminals by the changing magnetic stored
energy. It is through this reaction voltage that the external electric circuit supplies power
to the coupling magnetic field and hence to the mechanical output terminals.
dW (^) elec = ei dt (3.12)
The basic energy-conversion process is one involving the coupling field and its action and
reaction on the electric and mechanical systems.
Combining (3.11) and (3.12) results in
dW elec (^) = eidt = dW mech+ dW fld (3.13)
We are to deal energy-conversion systems: the magnetic circuits have air gaps between the
stationary and moving members in which considerable energy is stored in the magnetic field.
This field acts as the energy-conversion medium, and its energy is the reservoir between
the electric and mechanical system.
Fig. 3.4 shows an electromagnetic relay schematically. The predominant energy storage
occurs in the air gap, and the properties of the magnetic circuit are determined by the
dimensions of the air gap.

Since the magnetic energy storage system is lossless, it is a conservative system. W fld is

Measurement systems: torque proportional to two electric signals; power as the product of
voltage and current.
Energy conversion devices: multiply-excited magnetic field system.

Note that (3.70) is simpler than (3.63). That is, the coenergy function is a relatively
simple function of displacement.
The use of a coenergy function of the terminal currents simplifies the determination of
torque or force.
Systems with more than two electrical terminals are handled in analogous fashion.
