Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A loop of wire is placed in a uniform magnetic field. What happens to the induced EMF if the area of the loop is increased?
  • Step 1: Understand that a loop of wire in a magnetic field can have an induced EMF (electromotive force).
  • Step 2: Know that the induced EMF is related to the magnetic flux through the loop.
  • Step 3: Recognize that magnetic flux is calculated as the product of the magnetic field strength and the area of the loop (Flux = Magnetic Field x Area).
  • Step 4: If the area of the loop increases, the magnetic flux through the loop also increases.
  • Step 5: According to Faraday's law, the induced EMF is directly proportional to the change in magnetic flux.
  • Step 6: Therefore, if the area of the loop increases, the induced EMF will also increase.
  • Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction – The induced EMF in a circuit is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.
  • Magnetic Flux – Magnetic flux is the product of the magnetic field strength and the area through which the field lines pass.
  • Induced EMF – Induced EMF is the voltage generated by a change in magnetic flux in a closed loop.
