Application of Lenz's Law - Magnetic Braking

Stage 6 Physics NSW Syllabus - Module 6 [Electromagnetism]

Inquiry Question 3 - Electromagnetic Induction

6.6.3.2 → Analyse qualitatively and quantitatively, with reference to energy transfers and transformations, examples of Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law 𝜀=−𝑁 ∆𝜙/Δ𝑡, including but not limited to
– the generation of an electromotive force (emf) and evidence for Lenz’s Law produced by the relative movement between a magnet, straight conductors, metal plates and solenoids
– the generation of an emf produced by the relative movement or changes in current in one solenoid in the vicinity of another solenoid

Inquiry Question 4 - Applications of the Motor Effect

6.6.4.3 → Relate Lenz’s Law to the law of conservation of energy and apply the law of conservation of energy to:
