SPM Physics: AHA! Electromagnetic Induction – Faster Magnet, Bigger Deflection!

 


When a magnet is dropped into a coil, the galvanometer deflects. But why does releasing the magnet from a higher height cause a bigger deflection? The answer lies in the rate of change of magnetic flux.

🔑 Quick Facts (Exam-Ready)

  • Higher release height → magnet enters coil faster.

  • Faster magnet → faster change of magnetic flux.

  • Faster flux change → greater induced emf.

  • Greater emf → larger induced current.

  • Larger current → bigger galvanometer deflection.

👉 One-line scoring version:
Higher height → higher speed → faster flux change → greater emf → greater current → bigger deflection.

AHA! Faster magnet, bigger deflection. Not by sight, but by INSIGHT!
