    Em Induction
AI Thread Summary
Increasing the number of turns in a coil during electromagnetic (EM) induction results in a higher induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) and, consequently, an increase in current. However, in transformers, while the output voltage increases, the current decreases due to the fixed power handling capacity of the transformer. This is because the transformer’s design limits the maximum current to prevent overheating and damage. In motional induction, both e.m.f. and current increase, but in mutual induction, only e.m.f. increases without a corresponding rise in current due to the transformer's limitations. Thus, the relationship between e.m.f. and current varies based on the specific context of induction and transformer operation.

I have a problem:

In EM induction, when we increase the number of turns in a coil, the induced e.m.f will increase, thus the current. Why does the current also increase?

But in operating a transformer, when the voltage of the output current increases, the current decreases. How come? The e.m.f. of the output current becomes larger, isn't it the same case as above that the current would also be increased?

In motional induction, when the induced e.m.f. increases, the current increases. Why does only the e.m.f increase in mutual induction?

The current in a load would increase with increasing EMF, as in a resistor
connect to the transformer.

It's not the current but the transformers's current handling ability
for a fixed power which changes.

An ideal transformer could deliver inifinite current into a short.

A real transformer can only handle a certain number of watts, so the
max current permitted (before metling the wires) is fixed by the design.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
