The Law of electromagnetic induction?
A current carrying conductor will experience a force when moving through a magnetic field.
How can the electromagnetic field (and current) be increased?
- Moving the wire.
- Using a stronger magnet.
- Increasing the length of wire.
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction?
The EMF induced in a conductor is proportional to the rate at which magnetic filed lines are cut by the conductor.
How can you reverse the direction of the induced EMF and current?
- Moving the wire in the opposite direction.
- Turning the magnet round so that the field direction is reversed.
the induced electromagnetic field can be increased?
- Moving the magnet faster.
- Using a stronger magnet.
- Increase the number of turns in the coil.
