Part A

1a

Briefly explain the relationship between current and voltage for passive elements.

2 marks

Answer

For passive elements, the relationship between voltage (v) and current (i) is defined by their specific physical properties:

  • Resistor: Follows Ohm's Law, where voltage is directly proportional to current:
    v = iR
  • Inductor: Voltage is proportional to the rate of change of current:
    v = L(di/dt)
  • Capacitor: Current is proportional to the rate of change of voltage:
    i = C(dv/dt)
1b

Explain Faraday’s Laws of electromagnetic induction.

3 marks

Answer

Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction describe the process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor. The laws are stated as follows:

  1. First Law: Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes, an EMF is induced in it. This induced EMF lasts only as long as the change in flux continues.
  2. Second Law: The magnitude of the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkages.

Mathematically, the second law is expressed as:

e = -N (dΦ / dt)

where e is the induced EMF, N is the number of turns in the coil, and dΦ / dt is the rate of change of magnetic flux. The negative sign, derived from Lenz's Law, indicates that the induced EMF opposes the change in flux that produced it.
