The Bench and the Coil

The motion: “A magnet held inside a coil of wire will produce a current.”

Your opponent: Michael Faraday · Course: Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Physics (4PH1) · Assessment objectives: AO1, AO2

Faraday spent ten years failing at exactly this before he found what was missing. He will make you find it too.

What you are asked to argue

Defeat the motion by identifying what induction actually requires, then apply it to a generator.

Electromagnetic induction and the requirement for a CHANGING field
The factors affecting the induced voltage: speed, number of turns, field strength
Direction reversal on reversing the motion
The generator and the transformer as applications

Disagreeing with the figure is not an error. Any of these can score full marks if argued well:

That relative motion is what matters, so moving the coil rather than the magnet is equally correct — and saying so is a strength
That the motion is true for an ALTERNATING field with the magnet stationary, which is a precise and creditable correction rather than an error
That what matters is the flux through the circuit, so changing the circuit's area or orientation works as well as moving the magnet

Wrong: A magnet near a wire produces a current.
The correction: Only a CHANGE in the magnetic field through the circuit induces a voltage. A stationary magnet produces nothing, however strong.
Wrong: A transformer works with a battery.
The correction: A steady direct current produces a steady field and therefore no change and no induced voltage in the secondary. Transformers require alternating current.

The requirement for a changing field stated and applied to a generator, with the reversal used as evidence.

Read the life before you argue with it — the case you are about to meet was built by a real person, over a real career:
