PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 1 Objective Question

Question

In Faraday's experiments described on page 5, the induced current in the left-hand coil depends on which of the following?
Options
A The size of the current in the right-hand coil.
B The material of the left-hand coil.
C The rate of change of current (dI/dt) in the right-hand coil.
Correct Answer
D The resistance of the right-hand coil.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 5 explicitly states: 'The induced current does not depend on the size of the current in the right-hand coil.' and 'The induced current depends on dI/dt.'

Hint

Review the bullet points on page 5 regarding Faraday's Experiments.
