Electromagnetic induction — practice question

(a)[2]

State Faraday’s law for electromagnetic induction.

(b(i))[1]

State one function that a transformer performs.

(b(ii))[3]

A sinusoidal alternating current in the primary coil creates a varying magnetic flux linking the secondary coil. Use Faraday’s law to explain why the transformer’s output is an alternating electromotive force (e.m.f.).

(b(iii))[1]

State the reason the soft-iron core of the transformer is laminated.
