Questions and Answers

A copper wire is moved through a magnetic field. Which action will NOT result in an induced potential difference across the wire?

  • Moving the wire parallel to the magnetic field lines. (correct)
  • Moving the wire at an angle of 45 degrees to the magnetic field lines.
  • Moving the magnetic field while the wire is stationary.
  • Moving the wire perpendicularly to the magnetic field lines.

A magnet is repeatedly moved in and out of a coil of wire connected to a closed circuit. Which change would increase the magnitude of the induced current?

  • Reducing the number of turns of wire in the coil.
  • Increasing the strength of the magnetic field. (correct)
  • Decreasing the speed at which the magnet is moved.
  • Using a weaker magnet.

A bar magnet is pushed into a coil of wire. According to the principles of electromagnetic induction, what effect does this have on the coil?

  • The coil remains unaffected, as the magnetic field only induces a current but no magnetic polarity.
  • The end of the coil nearest the approaching magnet becomes the opposite pole, attracting the magnet and aiding its motion.
  • The end of the coil nearest the approaching magnet becomes the same pole, repelling the magnet and opposing its motion. (correct)
  • The entire coil becomes temporarily magnetized with a polarity unrelated to the approaching magnet's polarity.
