2 A student thinks that electrical current passes through the core in a
transformer to the secondary coil. Describe how you might demonstrate that
this is not true and explain how an electrical current is actually induced in the
secondary coil. Use Faraday’s law in your explanation. [3]
3 A square coil of 100 turns of wire has sides of length 5.0 cm. It is placed in a
magnetic field of flux density 20 mT, so that the flux is perpendicular to the
plane of the coil.
a Calculate the flux through the coil. [2]
b The coil is now pulled from the magnetic field in a time of 0.10 s. Calculate
the average e.m.f. induced in it. [3]

5 Figure 28.26 shows the magnetic flux linkage and induced e.m.f. as a coil
rotates. Explain why the induced e.m.f. is a maximum when there is no flux
linkage and the induced e.m.f. is zero when the flux linkage is a maximum. [4]
b This is a graph of magnetic flux density through a 240 turn coil with a
cross-sectional area 1.2 × 10−4 m2 against time.

7 This diagram shows a square coil about to enter a region of uniform magnetic
field of magnetic flux density 0.30 T. The magnetic field is at right angles to the
plane of the coil. The coil has 150 turns and each side is 2.0 cm in length. The
coil moves at a constant speed of 0.50 m s−1.

a i Calculate the time taken for the coil to completely enter the region of

magnetic field.
ii Determine the magnetic flux linkage through the coil when it is all
[2]
within the region of magnetic field.
b Explain why the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. is constant while the coil
is entering the magnetic field. [1]
c Use your answer to part a to determine the induced e.m.f. across the ends
of the coil. [4]
d Explain the induced e.m.f. across the ends of the coil when it is completely
within the magnetic field. [2]
e Sketch a graph to show the variation of the induced e.m.f. with time from
the instant that the coil enters the magnetic field. Your time axis should go
from 0 to 0.08 s. [2]
