O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/M/J/19
Question 37 from 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
