Question 17

A visitor listens to a museum audio guide through a moving-coil earpiece. The earpiece has a small diaphragm attached to a coil in the field of a permanent magnet. The variations in the alternating current become larger, but their frequency stays the same.

How does the sound heard by the visitor change?

[1]
A

The sound becomes quieter because the force acting on the diaphragm becomes smaller

B

The sound stays unchanged because the frequency of the current stays the same

C

The sound becomes louder because the diaphragm moves further backwards and forwards

D

The sound becomes higher in pitch because the diaphragm moves further backwards and forwards
