DEMO:
ACT: Two rings Jumping rings
Two copper rings with the same geometry move toward identical
magnets with the same velocity as shown. The ring in case 2,
though, has a small slit. Compare the magnitudes of:
• the induced emf’s in the rings:
A. ε1 < ε2 EMF is independent of the
actual ring. It would be the v N S 1
B. ε1 = ε 2 same for a wooden ring, or
even in vacuum!
C. ε1 > ε2
• the magnetic force on the rings:
A. F1 < F2 No current in case 2
because ring is v N S 2
B. F1 = F2 open.
C. F1 > F2 F2 = 0
