Questions and Answers

What effect does an increase in current have on the magnetic field in a coil?

  • The magnetic field contracts and only affects the loop where the current is increasing.
  • The magnetic field expands and cuts across all the loops in the coil. (correct)
  • The magnetic field reverses direction and opposes the increase in current.
  • The magnetic field remains constant and does not affect the other loops in the coil.

    • What is the purpose of the core material in an inductor?

  • To increase the inductance of the coil. (correct)
  • To insulate the coil from external magnetic fields.
  • To provide structural support for the coil.
  • To decrease the inductance of the coil.

    • What is the effect of an induced current on the change in the original current?

  • The induced current opposes the change in the original current. (correct)
  • The induced current has no effect on the change in the original current.
  • The induced current reverses the direction of the original current.
  • The induced current amplifies the change in the original current.
