Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of induced electromotive force (e.m.f) in circuits, particularly in relation to switching the circuit on and off. Participants explore the relationship between the rate of change of magnetic flux and the induced e.m.f.

Discussion Character

  • Conceptual clarification, Assumption checking

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss whether switching a circuit on and off can induce e.m.f, with some noting that this might lead to small induced currents. There are questions about the effectiveness of this method and the implications of switching speed on the induced e.m.f.

Discussion Status

Some participants acknowledge the original poster's understanding while providing additional insights about the limitations of inducing current through switching. There seems to be a shared exploration of the topic, with no explicit consensus reached.

Contextual Notes

Participants mention that the induced e.m.f might be very small in certain circuits and discuss the practical limitations of switching speed and coil effectiveness.

can we still induced e.m.f in a circuit if we switch on and off the circuit. Well, since induced e.m.f is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux. I guess alternating the switches can changes the magnetic flux of a circuit. Please correct me if I'm wrong ^_^ .

Hello, and welcome to PF!

Yes, you are right. For some circuits, the induced emf might be very small.
 
You can, but a poor way of inducing current, you can't switch very fast and the coil in your circuit won't make it so perfect, you end up with few milli volts !

Ah ! now i get it. why the L.E.D flashes once. Thanks
