Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A loop of wire is moved into a magnetic field at a constant speed. What happens to the induced EMF as the loop enters the field?
  • Step 1: Understand that a loop of wire can generate electricity when it moves through a magnetic field.
  • Step 2: Recognize that a magnetic field is an area where magnetic forces are present.
  • Step 3: When the loop of wire starts to enter the magnetic field, it begins to experience magnetic forces.
  • Step 4: As the loop moves further into the magnetic field, the amount of magnetic field lines passing through the loop increases.
  • Step 5: This increase in magnetic field lines is called an increase in magnetic flux.
  • Step 6: According to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, an increase in magnetic flux through the loop induces an electromotive force (EMF).
  • Step 7: Therefore, as the loop enters the magnetic field, the induced EMF increases.
  • Electromagnetic Induction – The process by which a changing magnetic field within a closed loop induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the wire.
  • Magnetic Flux – The product of the magnetic field strength and the area of the loop through which the field lines pass, which changes as the loop enters the magnetic field.
  • Faraday's Law of Induction – The principle stating that the induced EMF in a circuit is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.
