Section 5.9: Conceptual Questions
Test your understanding of magnetism and electromagnetic induction with conceptual questions.
Conceptual Questions
- Explain why a changing magnetic field induces an emf in a coil.
- Why does Lenz’s Law ensure the conservation of energy?
- Describe the factors that affect the magnitude of induced emf in a loop.
- How does the number of turns in a coil influence the induced current?
- Explain the difference between self-induction and mutual induction.
- Why is the induced current in a loop opposite to the change in flux?
- Discuss the role of electromagnetic induction in power generation.
- How does the speed of a moving magnet affect the induced emf?
- Explain the application of Lenz’s Law in electromagnetic braking.
- Why can transformers change voltage levels efficiently using AC?
