About Eduqas A Level Physics 3.10 Electromagnetic Induction

This topic covers generating emf.

What you need to know

  • Flux Φ = BA cos θ; flux linkage NΦ.
  • Faraday's law Emf equals rate of change of flux linkage.
  • Lenz's law The induced current opposes the change producing it.
  • Applications Moving rods, coils and generators.

Common mistakes in 3.10 Electromagnetic Induction

  • Confusing flux and flux density.
  • Forgetting N for flux linkage.
  • Not linking Lenz's law to energy conservation.

Show the mark scheme answer

6.0 V.

2. State Lenz's law. (1 mark)

Show the mark scheme answer

The induced emf acts to oppose the change causing it.

3. Explain why a magnet falls slowly through a copper tube. (2 marks)

Show the mark scheme answer

Changing flux induces eddy currents (1) whose fields oppose the motion (1).

3.10 Electromagnetic Induction FAQs

What does Electromagnetic Induction cover?

Flux, Faraday's and Lenz's laws.

What is a weber?

The unit of magnetic flux, T m².

Why is Lenz's law about energy?

Opposition means work must be done to induce a current.
