If a voltage is being induced into a conductor by electromagnetic induction, reversing the direction of motion of the conductor will _____.

A) not change anything
B) reverse the polarity of the induced voltage
C) double the induced voltage
D) halve the induced voltage

Induced Voltage

Voltage that is produced in a conductor by magnetic lines of flux cutting the conductor.

Electromagnetic Induction

The production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field.

  • Gain insight into the physical laws governing electromagnetic induction and the creation of voltage in conductors.
  • Learn the factors influencing the magnitude of induced voltage in a conductor.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Reversing the direction of motion of the conductor in a magnetic field reverses the direction of the induced current, thereby reversing the polarity of the induced voltage according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
