Question 15

A straight copper wire is moved through a uniform magnetic field, cutting the magnetic field lines at a right angle. This induces an electromotive force (e.m.f.) across the ends of the wire.

Which of the following changes would increase the magnitude of the induced e.m.f.?

A

Moving the wire more slowly through the magnetic field

B

Using a stronger magnet to increase the magnetic flux density

C

Replacing the copper wire with a thicker copper wire of the same length

D

Moving the wire parallel to the direction of the magnetic field lines
