Learning objectives

What the syllabus expects you to be able to do.

  1. 4.5.1.1Know that an e.m.f. is induced in a conductor that moves across a magnetic field or is linked by a changing field.
  2. 4.5.1.2Describe an experiment demonstrating electromagnetic induction.
  3. 4.5.1.3State the factors that affect the size of an induced e.m.f.
  4. 4.5.1.4Supplement: know that the induced e.m.f. opposes the change that causes it.
