Practice question
Question
A magnet is oscillated near a coil. The induced emf in the coil alternates because of what
characteristic of the magnet’s motion?
Explanation
**Flux change example** coil 150 turns area 0.06 m² B 0.14 T drops to zero in 0.3 s, ΔΦ = B A =0.14×0.06=0.0084 Wb per turn, ΔΦ/Δt=0.028 Wb/s, e=150×0.028=4.2 V, illustrating calculation from B and area. The oscillatory motion causes the magnetic flux to alternately increase and decrease, inducing an alternating emf as the flux change direction reverses. Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B A ω sinωt, L = μ₀ N²A/l, M = e/(dI/dt) and U = ½ L I², result Periodic change in flux direction follows, reflecting Faraday's law and Lenz's opposition.
