Which change would NOT increase the emf induced in a coil by a moving magnet?

  • A. Moving the magnet faster
  • B. Using a stronger magnet
  • C. Increasing the number of turns on the coil
  • D. Increasing the resistance of the coil

Explanation

The induced emf depends on flux, turns and speed of change, none of which is altered by the coil's resistance; resistance affects the induced current instead. The other three all raise the rate of change of flux linkage and so raise the emf. Distinguishing what changes the emf from what changes the current is exactly what this question tests.
