⚛️ Physics · Quiz 020

Complete the 001-020 foundation block by showing how changing magnetic flux produces emf and how induced effects obey energy conservation.

Learning goalUse magnetic flux, Faraday's law, Lenz's law, and motional emf to calculate and interpret induced electrical effects.

FoundationFor a uniform magnetic field B passing through a flat loop of area A, which expression gives the magnetic flux when theta is the angle between B and the loop's area-normal vector?
Need a small nudge?

The angle in the standard flux expression is measured from the surface normal.

UnderstandingWhich change can produce an induced emf in a conducting loop according to Faraday's law?
Need a small nudge?

Faraday's law depends on the time rate of change of magnetic flux.

ApplicationA 100-turn coil has magnetic flux per turn decrease uniformly from 3.0 x 10^-4 Wb to 1.0 x 10^-4 Wb in 0.020 s. What is the magnitude of the induced emf?
Need a small nudge?

Use |emf| = N |Delta Phi_B|/Delta t.

InterpretationThe north pole of a bar magnet moves directly toward the face of a conducting coil. What induced magnetic response does Lenz's law predict at the near face of the coil while the magnet approaches?
Need a small nudge?

Lenz's law says the induced magnetic effect opposes the change in flux, not the existing field in every circumstance.

ConnectionA conducting rod of length 0.50 m lies perpendicular to two conducting rails and moves along them at constant 4.0 m/s. A uniform 0.30 T magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the rails. The total circuit resistance is 2.0 ohm. Neglect rail resistance and friction. Which set is correct for the motional emf, current, magnetic force opposing the motion, and mechanical input power?
Need a small nudge?

Use emf = BLv, then Ohm's law, the magnetic force on the current-carrying rod, and power = Fv.
