2) Write the experiment showing the magnetic induction.
Answers
Magnetic Induction Goal: To become familiar with magnetic induction, Faraday's law, and Lenz's law through a series of qualitative and quantitative investigations. Lab Preparation Magnetic induction refers to phenomena where!a changing magnetic field induces an electric!field, and possibly an electric current or a volt!age in a nea rby conductor.
Answer:
Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field.
Explanation:
Two different coils of copper wire having large number of turns (say 50 and 100 turns respectively) are taken. They are now inserted over a non-conducting cylindrical roll, as shown in figure below.
The coil-1, having larger number of turns, is connected in series with a battery and a plug key. Also, the other coil-2 is connected with a galvanometer as shown.
The key is initiated and the galvanometer is observed. We will observe that the needle of the galvanometer instantly jumps to one side and then quickly returns to zero, indicating a momentary current in coil-2.
The coil-1 is now disconnected from the battery. Now we will observe that the needle momentarily moves, but to the opposite side. It means that now the current flows in the opposite direction in coil-2.
