-
Faraday's law says the induced emf is proportional to the:
- 1 Magnetic flux
- 2 Rate of change of magnetic flux
- 3 Area only
- 4 Resistance
Show answer
Correct answer: Rate of change of magnetic flux
emf = -d(flux)/dt.

-
Lenz's law is a consequence of conservation of:
- 1 Momentum only
- 2 Energy
- 3 Charge
- 4 Mass
Show answer
Correct answer: Energy
The induced current opposes the change causing it, which conserves energy.

A coil has 100 turns and the flux through each turn changes by 0.02 Wb in 0.1 s. The average emf is:
- 1 0.2 V
- 2 200 V
- 3 2 V
- 4 20 V
Show answer
Correct answer: 20 V
emf = N x change in flux / time = 100 x 0.02 / 0.1 = 20 V.

Energy stored in an inductor L carrying current I is:
- 1 L I²
- 2 1/2 L I
- 3 1/2 L I²
- 4 L I
Show answer
Correct answer: 1/2 L I²
U = 1/2 L I².

-
Self induction depends on the:
- 1 Voltage only
- 2 Colour of the wire
- 3 Shape and number of turns of the coil
- 4 Temperature only
Show answer
Correct answer: Shape and number of turns of the coil
L depends on geometry and the core.

-
A generator produces an emf by:
- 1 Heating a wire
- 2 Reflecting light
- 3 Rotating a coil in a magnetic field
- 4 Charging a capacitor
Show answer
Correct answer: Rotating a coil in a magnetic field
The flux through the coil changes.

- 1 Tesla
- 2 Henry
- 3 Ohm
- 4 Farad
Show answer
Correct answer: Henry
It is measured in henries.
