Size of e.m.f

Physics: Cambridge International GCSE Supplement, topic 4.11.2

Size of E.M.F

We can induce a bigger e.m.f in an electrical conductor (coil of wire) during electromagnetic induction in two main ways.

More coils

More coils

  • Increasing the number of turns of coils of wire.
Faster movement

Faster movement

  • Making the magnetic field change more rapidly by moving the wire or the magnet more quickly.
