If a conductor moves through a magnetic field, what is the induced EMF dependent on?
The speed of the conductor and the strength of the magnetic field
The length of the conductor only
The temperature of the conductor
The type of material of the conductor
The induced EMF is dependent on the speed of the conductor and the strength of the magnetic field it moves through.

Q
Q: If a conductor moves through a magnetic field, what is the induced EMF dependent on?
Solution: The induced EMF is dependent on the speed of the conductor and the strength of the magnetic field it moves through.
Steps: 5
Step 1: Understand what a conductor is. A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow through it, like a metal wire.
Step 2: Know what a magnetic field is. A magnetic field is an area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.
Step 3: Learn that when a conductor moves through a magnetic field, it can generate electricity. This is called induced EMF (Electromotive Force).
Step 4: Realize that the amount of electricity generated (induced EMF) depends on two main factors: the speed of the conductor and the strength of the magnetic field.
Step 5: Remember that if the conductor moves faster, more electricity is generated. Similarly, if the magnetic field is stronger, more electricity is also generated.
