Electromagnetic induction — practice question

(a(i))[2]

Define the term magnetic flux.

(a(ii))[2]

State Faraday’s law for electromagnetic induction.

(b(main))

As shown in Fig. 10.1, a solenoid has a coil C of wire wound closely around its centre. Coil C has 96 turns. The uniform magnetic flux $\Phi$ (in weber) in the solenoid is given by $\Phi = 6.8 \times 10^{-6} \times I$, where $I$ is the current (in amperes) in the solenoid.

(b)[2]

As shown in Fig. 10.1, a solenoid has a coil C of wire wound closely around its centre. Coil C has 96 turns. The uniform magnetic flux $\Phi$ (in weber) in the solenoid is given by $\Phi = 6.8 \times 10^{-6} \times I$, where $I$ is the current (in amperes) in the solenoid. Calculate the average electromotive force (e.m.f.) induced in coil C when a current of $3.5\,\text{A}$ is reversed in the solenoid in a time of $2.4\,\text{ms}$.

(c)[2]

The d.c. supply in Fig. 10.1 is now replaced by a sinusoidal alternating supply. Describe qualitatively the e.m.f. now induced in coil C.
