This is a graph for a magnet falling through a coil, it shows the p.d induced in the coil (the induced emf) when the magnet enters and then shows the induced emf in the coil when the magnet leaves. My question is why does the p.d appear to change direction? (i.e why the positive and negative...

So from Faraday's law, a change in the magnetic flux will induce an emf on a loop of wire. { \phi }_{ B }\quad =\quad BA\\ { \varepsilon }_{ ind }\quad =\quad \frac { d{ \phi }_{ B } }{ dt } (in this case a perpendicular field) From these equations, it looks like the only way to induce a...

how is this true? I get that it's the rate of change of flux, and if you have a graph of flux linkage against time, the gradient with a constant gradient then emf is constant since it IS the gradient... But how? If the flux linkage is increasing, why doesn't the emf?

I conducted an experiment to find out the emf of a battery, the result turned out to be 1.35 volts , however on the battery, it says the battery is 1.5 voltage. Does it mean that my method is wrong or less accurate. But I used three different methods:1) measuring the terminal voltage across...

Guys, is it accurate to measure the battery's emf by putting voltmeter across the battery( it is not connected in circuit). I think this is accurate because there is no current flowing, this means that there is no voltage across the internal resistance.
