Chapter 11, Problem 1TC

Rank from most to least the reading on the galvanometer.

Most current___ ___ ___ Least current or, induced current the same for each.___

To determine

The order of the force of the right-hand piston from greatest to least.

Answer to Problem 1TC

The most current will be deflected in B with five loops , the least will be in C with two loops.and in A there will be induced current same for each.

Explanation of Solution

The amount of voltage induced depends on how fast the magnetic field lines are entering or leaving the coil. The phenomenon of inducing a voltage by changing the magnetic field in a coil of wire is called electromagnetic induction. A galvanometer uses more loops of wire, therefore it is more sensitive. The greater the current in its windings, the greater is the deflection.

The most current will be deflected in B with five loops and the least will be in C with two loops. The induced current will be the same for each in A.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the most current will be deflected in B with five loops , the least will be in C with two loops.and in A there will be induced current same for each.
