Electromagnetic induction — practice question

(a)[2]

Define magnetic flux by referring to the product of magnetic field strength and area.

(b(i))[3]

A simple transformer has two coils of wire wound on a soft-iron core, as shown in Fig. 9.1. There is a sinusoidal current in the primary coil. Explain how this current produces an induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) in the secondary coil.

(b(ii))[2]

Explain why the induced e.m.f. in the secondary coil does not remain constant.

(c)[2]

Explain why the soft-iron core in (b) has been laminated.
