9

Mass spectrometer questions

Find the radius of the path for a charge

New cards
10

Faraday’s Law

Any change in flux will induce a current in that conductor

New cards
11

Magnetic flux

The number of magnetic field lines that pass through a conductor

New cards
12

When the wire is parallel to B field there is ____ flux

little to no

New cards
13

When the wire is perpendicular to B field there is ____ flux

max

New cards
14

Lenz’s Law

A current induced in a conductor produces a B field opposite the first

New cards
15

Motional emf

A voltage is created in a conductor because of a change in flux

New cards
16

What are the results of a change in flux?

A voltage is created, there is an induced current and B field opposite the first

New cards
17
