Magnetic fields & induced current.

AI Thread Summary
Increasing the speed at which a magnet passes through a coil enhances electromagnetic induction, resulting in a higher electromotive force (emf) or voltage. This increase in voltage, according to Ohm's Law, leads to a corresponding rise in current if the resistance remains constant. The discussion clarifies that while the emf value increases, it is essential to understand that this also affects the current flowing through the coil. Misunderstandings about the relationship between emf, voltage, and current were addressed, emphasizing the importance of grasping these concepts for better comprehension. Overall, faster magnet movement directly correlates with increased electromagnetic induction.

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.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
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 hanging 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...
