Question 31
H

A dynamo is rotated at steady speed while disconnected from a lamp. The lamp is then connected and lights. The same speed is maintained.

Why must a greater turning force now be applied?

[1]
A

The induced current produces a magnetic effect assisting the rotation.

B

The induced current produces a magnetic effect opposing the rotation.

C

The lamp increases the magnetic energy without taking mechanical energy.

D

The lamp stops induction so the coil must force charge through the circuit.
