Question 1: Define electromagnetic induction in your own words.

Answer: Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an electric current in a conductor by changing the magnetic field around it.

Question 2: Explain how moving a magnet near a coil creates an electric current.

Answer: Moving a magnet near a coil changes the magnetic flux through the coil, which induces an electric current according to Faraday's Law.

Question 3: What is magnetic flux?

Answer: Magnetic flux is the measure of the magnetic field passing through a given area, calculated as magnetic field strength times the area times the cosine of the angle between them.

Question 4: Describe one real-world device that uses electromagnetic induction and explain its function.

Answer: A transformer uses electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy between circuits, increasing or decreasing voltage levels for power transmission and distribution.

Question 5: If a coil experiences a change in magnetic flux of 0.5 Weber in 2 seconds, what is the magnitude of the induced emf? (Use Faraday's Law: emf = change in flux / time)

Answer: 0.25 Volts

Question 6: Which of the following increases the induced current in a coil? (Choose one) A) Decreasing the speed of the magnet's movement B) Increasing the strength of the magnet C) Using a larger coil with the same magnet D) Keeping the magnetic flux constant

Answer: B) Increasing the strength of the magnet

Question 7: Fill in the blank: When a conductor moves through a magnetic field without changing the magnetic flux, __________ occurs.

Answer: no current is induced

Question 8: Explain why a louder sound is produced in an electric guitar when a stronger magnetic field is used in the pickups.

Answer: A stronger magnetic field induces a larger electric current in the guitar's coil when the string vibrates, resulting in a louder sound.

Question 9: Identify at least two safety precautions to observe when performing experiments involving changing magnetic fields and electrical currents.

Answer: Avoid contact with live wires and ensure all equipment is properly insulated to prevent electric shocks, and keep magnetic sources away from sensitive electronic devices.

Question 10: Describe how electromagnetic induction is utilized in modern energy generation.

Answer: In modern energy generation, turbines rotate coils or magnets within each other to change magnetic flux over time, inducing an emf that drives electrical generators to produce electricity for power grids.
