An ideal transformer conserves ___, so that VpIp = VsIs:

Answer: power.

  • A power
  • B charge
  • C resistance
  • D frequency

Correct answer: A. power

Explanation: With no losses, input power equals output power, giving VpIp = VsIs.

EMF is Induced Only While Flux is ChangingΦmagnet approachingmagnet stationary inside coilEMFEMF ≠ 0 (flux changing)EMF = 0 (flux constant)t

As a magnet approaches a coil, flux rises steadily and a constant non-zero EMF is induced (Faraday's law). Once the magnet stops moving, flux stays constant and the induced EMF drops to zero - EMF only exists while flux is actively changing.

Concept context

Faraday's and Lenz's laws, motional EMF, self/mutual inductance, eddy currents, and the AC generator - how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric current.
