  • Understand that moving a conductor through a magnetic field or having a changing magnetic field around a conductor can create an electromotive force (e.m.f.) in that conductor.
  • Explain how to conduct an experiment that shows the principle of electromagnetic induction.
  • Identify the factors that influence the strength of an induced electromotive force (e.m.f.).
  • Recognize that the induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) acts in opposition to the change that produces it.
  • Identify and apply the relative directions of force, magnetic field, and induced current.
