1. According to Lenz’s Law, the direction of an induced current in a conductor will be that
which tends to:
a. Enhance the effect which is producing it
b. Oppose the effect that is producing it
c. Produces the greatest voltage
d. Produces the greatest heating effect
2. A DC motor with an internal resistance of 10 Ohms is operating on a 12 V source
produces a back EMF of 9.0 V. What is the operating current through the motor?
3. A uniform magnetic field of 0.50 T passes perpendicularly through the lane of a wire
loop 0.30 square meters in area.
a. What is the magnetic flux through the loop?
b. After 3 minutes (180 seconds), what is the induced EMF?
4. A bar magnet falls through a loop of wire with the South pole entering first. When the
South pole enters the wire, the induced current will be (as viewed from above):
{hint: you might want to sketch this one out}
a. Clockwise
b. Counterclockwise
c. Zero
d. To the right of the loop
e. To the left of the loop
5. A coil of 5 loops has an area of 0.20 square meters. The coil is oriented with its plane
perpendicular to a magnetic field that increases uniformly from 0.01 T to 0.26 T within
0.005 seconds (5 mS). What is the induced EMF in the coil?
