- Beginning from equation (1), show that the correct expression for the
induced emf in a secondary coil, due to a sinusoidally varying current in
a primary coil is
for infinitely thin, long (), concentric solenoids (primary surrounding the secondary). The subscripts s, p, and o, refer to the secondary, primary,
and the voltage of the ac source in the primary circuit.
- What do you expect should happen to the magnitude of the voltage across
the coil as the frequency is increased? Explain. Do your result corroborate
your suspicions? Display a graph of the calculated and measured
secondary voltages as a function of frequency, and discuss its import.
- State Lenz's law. How was this law apparent in this
experiment?
