Exam points

  • calculate induced EMF from flux-gradient graphs, coil turns and swept area
  • apply Lenz’s law to decide induced current direction, braking force or energy transfer
  • use motion-through-field ideas such as BLv to judge EMF across aircraft wings or rods

Edexcel A-Level Physics A2 4.4.110 Faradays and Lenzs Laws Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 3]

A student carried out an investigation to compare the energy stored in a mechanical mouse trap with the energy stored in an electronic mouse trap.

The electronic mouse trap works by applying a large potential difference (p.d.) across two metal plates. The diagram shows part of the circuit for the electronic mouse trap.
