REVISION ON ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION

NAME..DATE

1.

In the following experiments, induction moves the needle of a sensitive

meter.
Fig. 1
Fig. 2
(a)
In Fig. 1, without changing the equipment, how can you move the needle more?
________________________________________________________________________[1]
(b)
In Fig. 2, how can you make the needle move back and forth several times?
2. A coil of wire is connected to a sensitive galvanometer as shown in the
diagram.
(a) What is observed when the magnet is moved towards the coil?
(b) Explain why this occurs.

3. The diagram shows an electromagnetic device.

(a)

Name this device.

(iii) ________________________________ [3]

(c)
Name the instrument you would attach to the output of the device to obtain a trace of the voltage
produced.
________________________________________________________________________[1]
(d) Sketch a graph of the voltage produced against time when the coil is rotated 50 times per second.

Look at the diagram of a generator.

(a) What do labels A to D Represent?
(b) Explain why the generator produces an a.c. current rather than a d.c. current
when the coil rotates inside the magnetic field.

How could this transformer be used in the National Grid?

A

to step up d.c. voltages to higher levels

to step down d.c. voltages to lower levels

to step up a.c. voltages to higher levels

to step down a.c. voltages to lower levels
