Questions and Answers

What does Faraday's law describe in electromagnetic induction?

  • The relationship between magnetic field strength and charge.
  • The potential difference across a capacitor.
  • The force acting on a moving charge in a magnetic field.
  • The relationship between induced EMF and the rate of change of magnetic flux. (correct)

Which factor influences the magnitude of the force experienced by a moving charge in a magnetic field?

  • Only the magnetic field strength.
  • The type of material the charge is passing through.
  • The charge, velocity, and magnetic field strength. (correct)
  • The duration of time the charge is in the magnetic field.

In the absence of an electric field, how does the force on a moving charge relate to its velocity?

  • The force is unaffected by the velocity.
  • The force is opposite to the velocity.
  • The force is parallel to the velocity.
