Moving a conductor in a magnetic field changes the magnetic
flux
In Faraday's Law, the induced voltage is represented by the symbol
ε
\varepsilon
ε
A faster changing magnetic field will induce a higher
voltage
The number of turns in the coil is directly proportional to the
induced voltage
.
True
Match the type of electromagnetic induction with its description:
Self-induction ↔️ Induced voltage in the same coil
Mutual induction ↔️ Induced voltage in a nearby coil
Which type of electromagnetic induction requires another coil nearby?
Mutual induction
What happens to the magnetic flux linkage when the magnetic field strength around a conductor is altered?
It changes
Electromagnetic induction occurs when a voltage is produced in a conductor exposed to a changing magnetic
field
The negative sign in Faraday's Law indicates that the induced voltage opposes the change in magnetic
flux
Match the type of electromagnetic induction with its description:
Self-induction ↔️ Voltage induced in the same coil
Mutual induction ↔️ Voltage induced in a nearby coil
Eddy current brakes use
induced voltage

voltage
The induced voltage in a coil is directly proportional to the rate of change of
magnetic flux
.
True
Moving a magnet near a conductor induces a voltage because the
magnetic field
changes.
True
The negative sign in Faraday's Law indicates that the induced voltage opposes the change in
magnetic flux
.
True
Steps to induce a voltage by moving a conductor in a magnetic field
1️⃣ Move the conductor within the magnetic field
2️⃣ The magnetic flux linking the conductor changes
3️⃣ A voltage is induced in the conductor
The opposition of induced voltage to changes in magnetic flux is described by
Lenz's
Law.
Self-induction occurs within the same
coil
Moving a conductor in a magnetic field changes the magnetic
flux
Increasing the number of turns in a coil increases the
induced voltage
.
True
Faraday's Law states that the induced voltage is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux.
True
What effect does a faster changing magnetic field have on the induced voltage?
Increases the voltage
In what type of electrical device is induced voltage used to generate electricity?
Generators
Arrange the following factors affecting induced voltage in order of their effect, from most to least significant:
1️⃣ Rate of change of magnetic flux
2️⃣ Number of turns in the coil
