ANSWERS TO QUIZZES

Chapter 13

INDUCTION

1. Flux direction and the direction of cutting the flux.
2. Strength of the field, speed of the conductors, and number of conductors cutting.
3. At least two.
4. One.
5. No. The flux field must move to produce self induction.
6. For every force, there is an opposite force set up which tends to cancel the first force.
7. Open the field coil circuit may produce thousands of volts of self induction.

8. Pulsating d.c. varies in strength, regular d.c. does not.
9. A.c. varies in strength and direction, regular d.c. does not vary in either.
