O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/12/M/J/21

Explanation
Induced EMF depends on coil turns and magnet speed
Steps:
- Faraday's law: Induced EMF ε = -N dΦ/dt, where N is turns, Φ is flux.
- Flux change rate dΦ/dt increases with magnet speed v, so steeper ramp (higher v) gives larger peak EMF and shorter duration.
- Fewer turns (smallest N) reduces peak EMF amplitude proportionally.
- Least turns + steepest ramp: Small-amplitude, narrow pulse graph.
Why C is correct:
- Matches ε ∝ N v: Low N limits height; high v narrows width while boosting height modestly, per flux linkage rate.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Wide pulse indicates slow speed, not steep ramp.
- B: High amplitude suggests more turns, not least.
- D: Broad, tall pulse implies slow speed and many turns.
Final answer: C
