An emergency safety beacon is powered by shaking. When shaken by a user, a permanent magnet slides back and forth through a stationary coil of wire.
Explain why a voltage is induced across the ends of the coil when the magnet moves through it.
State one way to increase the magnitude of the induced voltage.
The beacon uses a light-emitting diode (LED) to provide light. When the LED is illuminated, it shows that:
The manufacturer states, "The LED is a more efficient light source than a traditional filament indicator bulb." Explain this statement in terms of energy transfers.
