Question 30

An electric motor moves a coil back and forth over a fixed magnet at a constant speed. At first, the ends of the coil are not connected. They are then connected to a heating wire, while the motor continues the movement at the same speed.

Compared with when the ends of the coil are not connected, what happens?

[1]
A

The motor must transfer more energy each second because the induced current produces a magnetic field that opposes the movement.

B

The motor must transfer less energy each second because the induced current produces a magnetic field that opposes the movement.

C

The motor transfers the same energy each second because the speed of the movement is kept constant.

D

The motor must transfer more energy each second because the heating wire increases the induced potential difference.
