The polarity of an induced voltage depends on the ________.
A)length of a conductor in a magnetic field
B)time that the conductor remains stationary in a magnetic field
C)direction of motion of a conductor in a magnetic field
D)amount of current flowing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The direction of motion of a conductor in a magnetic field determines the polarity of an induced voltage. This is known as Fleming's right-hand rule. When a conductor moves perpendicular to the magnetic field, the induced voltage creates a current that flows in a direction that is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of motion of the conductor. The polarity of the induced voltage and the direction of the current flow are determined by the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the motion of the conductor.
