Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A loop of wire is moved into a magnetic field at a constant speed. What is the effect on the induced current as the loop enters the field?
  • Step 1: Understand that a loop of wire is being moved into a magnetic field.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the magnetic field has lines of force that represent the magnetic flux.
  • Step 3: As the loop enters the magnetic field, more of the loop is inside the field.
  • Step 4: Realize that when more of the loop is in the magnetic field, the area of the loop within the field increases.
  • Step 5: Know that an increase in the area within the magnetic field leads to an increase in magnetic flux.
  • Step 6: Apply Faraday's law, which states that a change in magnetic flux induces an electric current in the loop.
  • Step 7: Conclude that as the loop enters the magnetic field, the induced current increases due to the increasing magnetic flux.
  • Electromagnetic Induction – The process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor.
  • Faraday's Law – The law stating that the induced EMF in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.
  • Magnetic Flux – The product of the magnetic field strength and the area through which it passes, influencing the induced current.
