Faraday's law states that the induced EMF in a conductor is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
True
Lenz's law states that the induced current creates a magnetic field that opposes the original change in magnetic
field
When a magnet is pushed into a coil, the induced current creates a magnetic field that opposes the
motion
What are the factors that determine the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor according to Faraday's law?
Magnetic flux, rate of change, number of turns
How does the rate of change of magnetic flux affect the induced EMF?
Directly proportional
Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that the induced EMF is proportional to the rate of change of
magnetic flux
.
True

Changing magnetic field
Order the steps involved in Lenz's law when a magnet is moved through a coil:
1️⃣ Magnet is moved through a coil
2️⃣ Magnetic flux changes
3️⃣ Induced current is generated
4️⃣ Magnetic field opposes motion
How do you calculate the induced EMF using Faraday's law if the magnetic flux changes from 0.05 Wb to 0.25 Wb in 2 seconds in a coil with 500 turns?
-50 V

volts (V)
True
A coil with 500 turns experiencing a change in magnetic flux from 0.05 Wb to 0.25 Wb in 2 seconds results in an
induced EMF

Steps involved in generating an electric current through electromagnetic induction:
1️⃣ Change the magnetic field around a conductor
2️⃣ Conductor moves through a magnetic field
3️⃣ Current is generated in the conductor
Mutual induction involves the interaction between two or more
conductors
