Question 7

Electromagnetic Induction

Which of the following will not increase the magnitude of the induced emf in a coil?

  1. A.increasing the number of turns
  2. B.using a stronger magnet
  3. C.slowing down the relative motion
  4. D.increasing the relative speed
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C (slowing down the relative motion)

Explanation

Induced emf depends on how fast the magnetic flux changes. Slowing the motion makes the flux change more slowly, so the emf falls.
