Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the effects of the speed of a magnet passing through a coil on electromagnetic induction, specifically focusing on induced current and electromotive force (emf).

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants explore the relationship between the speed of the magnet and the amount of electromagnetic induction, questioning whether it increases, decreases, or remains unchanged. There is a focus on understanding the distinction between emf and current, with some participants seeking clarification on how these concepts relate to each other.

Discussion Status

The discussion is active, with participants sharing their interpretations and seeking clarification on the concepts involved. Some guidance has been offered regarding the relationship between voltage and current, but there is no explicit consensus on the overall understanding of the topic.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention previous exam questions and express uncertainty about their understanding, indicating that the discussion is taking place in a homework context with potential time constraints affecting comprehension.

would increasing the speed at which magnet passes through a coil Increase,Reduce or does not change the amount of electromagnetic induction?

cheers

personally I would go with increase but want to see if I am right

Well... what do you base your answer on?

I had it all wrong :redface:

I though the question was like a DC generator.


I know what it mean and the only effect it would have is the emf value, not the current.

Thanx for askin what I base my answer on, it made me re-read the question on the past exams and now I understand. Maybe I shouldn't do homework at 2:20 :smile:
 
the answer is Increase but why? if it moves faster it will have greater emf which is Voltage how does it increase the amount of ElectroMagnetic Induction? isn't amount of ElectroMagnetic induction Current?

can someone clarify this please.

thanx

Well, what does the emf value mean? You already mentioned it's voltage.
Now suppose the wire/the coil has a constant resistance (which is a pretty good approximation if you're not running gigantic currents through it): What will happen? You do know Ohm's Law, right?

Here's the answer in white, in case you won't find it out:
You should be easily able to see (using V=R*I) that a higher voltage also leads to a higher current!

Thanks mate.
