Induced Potential Difference

We can induce a bigger potential difference in an electrical conductor (coil of wire) during electromagnetic induction in 2 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.
