III/Comment and Explanation
Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction:
A voltage is induced in a circuit whenever relative motion exists between a conductor and a
magnetic field and that the magnitude of this voltage is proportional to the rate of change
of the flux
Vinduced=NΔΦ
Δt =NΔ(BA)
Δt
So, we have:
+) Comparison between the first voltage peak and second voltage peak:
-The two voltage peak has opposite sign corresponding to the direction of the magnetic field
line’s rate and direction of change. According to Faraday’s Law, the induced electromotive
force acts in the direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux.
-Also, the magnitude of second voltage peak is greater than that of the first peak.This can be
explained by the motion of the magnet bar. When the magnet is released to fall through the
coil, its motion is free fall. Therefore, the velocity of the bottom pole when it falls through
the coil is larger than that of the top pole. This means the change in magnetic field increases
in time, and according to the Faraday’s Law above, this result in the greater magnitude of the
second peak.
+) The shape of the graph
-Both graphs are approximately symmetric about the point when
ΔΦB=0
(rate of change
of the magnetic field flux equals zero). This can be explained by Faraday’s law, which
states that the induced voltage through the wire induces a current that creates a magnetic
flux in the direction opposing the change in flux, and the fact that the magnetic field line
going in/out the north and the south pole of the magnet are exactly the same.
+) Comparison between two coil
-The maximum voltage for the coil with more turns is higher than the one with fewer turn,
because the magnitude of voltage is proportional to the number of turns in the coil, as shown in
the equation:
Vinduced=NΔΦ

Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction:
A voltage is induced in a circuit whenever relative motion exists between a conductor and a
magnetic field and that the magnitude of this voltage is proportional to the rate of change of the flux
