  Contents
- 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?
