O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/M/J/19

Explanation
Doubling rotation speed doubles induced EMF frequency.
Steps:
- Oscilloscope trace shows sinusoidal induced EMF from coil rotation in magnetic field.
- Faraday's law states induced EMF depends on flux change rate, producing AC waveform at rotation frequency.
- Original trace frequency matches initial rotation speed.
- Doubling speed doubles flux change cycles per second, doubling waveform frequency.
Why B is correct:
- B depicts waveform with twice the cycles in the same time, matching doubled rotation frequency per Faraday's law.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Same frequency as original, ignores speed effect.
- C: Halved frequency, contradicts speed increase.
- D: Same frequency but altered amplitude, but amplitude unchanged while frequency doubles.
Final answer: B
