Explain electromagnetic induction, including what happens when a switch is opened, two ways to increase galvanometer deflection, and a calculation of induced EMF.

Here are the answers to your questions: a) On opening the switch When the switch is opened, the current in the primary coil rapidly decreases to zero. This causes a rapid decrease in the magnetic field and thus the magnetic flux through the secondary coil. According to Faraday's Law of Induction, this changing magnetic flux induces an e.m.f. and a momentary induced current in the secondary coil. The galvanometer will show a momentary deflection in the opposite direction compared to when the switch was closed. b) State two possible ways of increasing the deflection in a galvanometer. Two ways to increase the deflection in a galvanometer are: • Increase the strength of the magnetic field causing the induction. • Increase the number of turns in the coil where the e.m.f. is induced. c) A circular loop having a radius of 5.0 cm is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of 0.50 T. It is removed from the field in 0.10 s. Find the average electromotive force produced in the loop during this time. Step 1: Convert the radius to meters and calculate the area of the loop. Given radius r = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m. The area of the circular loop is A = r^2. A = (0.05 m)^2 = (0.0025 m^2) = 0.0025 m^2 Step 2: Calculate the initial and final magnetic flux. The loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field, so = 0^ and = 1. Initial magnetic field B_i = 0.50 T. Initial magnetic flux _B,i = B_i A = (0.50 T)(0.0025 m^2)(1) = 0.00125 Wb. When the loop is removed from the field, the final magnetic field B_f = 0 T. Final magnetic flux _B,f = 0 Wb. Step 3: Calculate the change in magnetic flux. _B = _B,f - _B,i = 0 - 0.00125 Wb = -0.00125 Wb Step 4: Calculate the average induced electromotive force (e.m.f.). According to Faraday's Law of Induction, for a single loop (N=1): E_avg = -N ( _B)/( t) Given t = 0.10 s. E_avg = -(1) -0.00125 Wb0.10 s E_avg = (0.00125)/(0.10) V E_avg = 0.0125 V Using ≈ 3.14159: E_avg ≈ 0.0125 × 3.14159 V E_avg ≈ 0.03927 V The average electromotive force produced is 0.0393 V. d) Distinguish between impulse and linear momentum. Impulse is the change in an object's linear momentum. It is calculated as the product of the average force acting on an object and the time interval over which the force acts, with units of Newton-seconds (N·s). Linear momentum is a measure of the quantity of motion an object possesses, defined as the product of its mass and velocity, with units of kilogram-meters per second (kg·m/s). e) A 5 kg mass moving with a velocity of 10 m/s collides with 10 kg mass moving with a velocity of 4 m/s in the same direction along the same line. Given: Mass 1: m_1 = 5 kg, u_1 = 10 m/s Mass 2: m_2 = 10 kg, u_2 = 4 m/s i) Calculate the velocity of the 10 kg mass. Assuming an elastic collision for this part, we use the conservation of momentum and the relative velocity equation. Conservation of momentum: m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 (5 kg)(10 m/s) + (10 kg)(4 m/s) = (5 kg)v_1 + (10 kg)v_2 50 + 40 = 5v_1 + 10v_2 90 = 5v_1 + 10v_2 Divide by 5: 18 = v_1 + 2v_2 (Equation 1) Relative velocity for elastic collision: u_1 - u_2 = -(v_1 - v_2) 10 m/s - 4 m/s = -v_1 + v_2 6 = -v_1 + v_2 (Equation 2) From Equation 2, v_1 = v_2 - 6.
