The advantage of using coil with many turns in Faraday’s experiments.
Answer to Problem 1Q
The advantage of using coil with many turns in Faraday’s experiment increases the values of the quantities to be experimentally measured.
Explanation of Solution
From the experiment shown in the Figure 29-1, Faraday concluded that a constant magnetic field does not produce current in the conductor, but a changing magnetic field can produce a current, this current is known as induced current. And also changing magnetic field induces an emf.
From the Faraday’s law, write the expression for induced emf if the circuit contains
Here,
Write the expression for induced current.
Here,
Use equation (I) in (II).
Equation (I) and (III) shows that, the induced emf and therefore induced current are proportional to number of turns.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the advantage of using coil with many turns in Faraday’s experiment increases the values of the quantities to be experimentally measured.

- In a homopolar motor (like Faraday’s motor), what happens to the motion if the current is reversed?arrow_forwardIf a coil of wire is connected to a very sensitive ammeter and then waved about in the air, a current will be induced in it even if there are no magnets around. Why?arrow_forwardA circular coil of radius 4.00 cm contains 120 loops and its plane is positioned perpendicular to a uniform 0.74-T magnetic field, as shown. It is quickly and uniformly pulled from the field to a region where the B-field drops abruptly to zero. It takes 0.12 s for the whole coil to reach the field-free region. How much power is dissipated in the coil if its resistance is 170 Ω?arrow_forward
- Is the maximum magnetic field strength doubled when exciting two coils at the same time? If not, why?arrow_forwardIn Faraday’s apparatus, No current flows through the galvanometer when the switch remains closed or open.
