When induced currents produce expanding magnetic fields around conductors in a direction that opposes the original magnetic field, this is known as:
  • Correct Answer
    Lenz’s law.
  • Gilbert's law.
  • Maxwell’s law.

What is meant by the term “back EMF”?
  • A current equal to the applied EMF.
  • An opposing EMF equal to R times C (RC) percent of the applied EMF.
  • Correct Answer
    A voltage that opposes the applied EMF.
  • A current that opposes the applied EMF.

Back-EMF (Electromotive Force), is most commonly used to refer to the voltage that occurs in electric motors where there is relative motion between the armature of the motor and the magnetic field from the motor's field magnets, or windings.

Remember "E" stands for voltage.

Permeability is defined as:
  • The magnetic field created by a conductor wound on a laminated core and carrying current.
  • Correct Answer
    The ratio of magnetic flux density in a substance to the magnetizing force that produces it.
  • Polarized molecular alignment in a ferromagnetic material while under the influence of a magnetizing force.
  • None of these.
