Electromagnetic induction is a key principle in physics.

Description

Electromagnetic Induction

When a conductor moves through a magnetic field or when the magnetic field around a conductor changes, an electromotive force (e.m.f.) is induced in the conductor.

  1. a

    State the condition required for e.m.f. to be induced in a conductor.

    Aim for approximately 1 distinct marking point.

Description

Inducing Electromotive Force

A coil of wire is placed in a magnetic field. When the coil is rotated, an e.m.f. is induced in the wire.

  1. a

    State what effect the rotation of the coil has on the induced e.m.f.

    Aim for approximately 2 distinct marking points.
