Question

If Faraday had used a more powerful

battery in his experiments with electromagnetic
induction, what effect would this have had on
his galvanometer's measurements of current
when the battery was fully connected? Explain
your reasoning.

Answer 1

The value of current generated would increase

Step-by-step explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electromotive force is induced due to a variation of magnetic field.

The induced current is directly proportional to rate at which the coil cuts the magnetic field. Using more powerful battery in the experiment would increase the rate at the the coil cuts the magnetic field, therefore increasing the rate of variation in the magnetic field. This effect would cause a greater deflection on the galvanometer's scale, showing an increase in the current generated.

This experiment proves that an alternating current can be produced from magnetic field.
