Electromagnetic induction — practice question

Fig. 5.1 shows an unfinished diagram of the magnetic flux pattern produced by a solenoid carrying current.
(a(i))[1]

On Fig. 5.1, add arrows to the field lines to indicate the direction of the magnetic field.

(a(ii))[1]

State the feature of Fig. 5.1 that shows the magnetic field strength at each end of the solenoid is smaller than at the centre.

(b)[2]

The Hall probe is turned about the axis $XY$. State and explain why the size of the Hall voltage changes.

(c(i))[2]

State Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.

(c(ii))[3]

In (b), the Hall probe is changed to a small coil of wire connected to a sensitive voltmeter. State three different ways in which an e.m.f. may be induced in the coil.
