Electromagnetic induction — practice question

(a)[2]

State Lenz’s law in words.

(b(i)1)[1]

A simple transformer with a soft-iron core is shown in Fig. 7.1. Explain why iron is used for the core.

(b(i)2)[2]

Explain why the core has been laminated.

(b(ii))[4]

An e.m.f. is induced in the secondary coil of the transformer. Explain how current in the primary coil leads to this induced e.m.f.

(b(i).1)[1]

Explain why iron is used for the core.

(b(i).2)[2]
