Consider the magnitudes and directions of the induced potential difference in the following situations:

(a) A current-carrying straight wire moving with a speed of 1.5 m/s towards a stationary coil.

(b) The same current-carrying straight wire moving away with a speed of 1.5 m/s from the same stationary coil.

The induced potential differences are of ________ magnitude(s) and have ________ sign(s) in the above two cases.

The correct answer is 'the same ,opposite'.

Key Points

  • A potential difference can be induced (created) in a conductor when there is movement between the conductor and a magnetic field.
  • This can occur in two different ways: a coil of wire is moved in a magnetic field. a magnet is moved into a coil of wire.
  • The induced emf depends upon the magnetic field and number of turns and it is independent of the resistance of the coil.
