Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
The flux linkage of a closed coil of resistance falls from Wb to zero. In one test this takes s. In another test it takes s. Find the average emf in each test, the charge that flows in each test, and the heat produced in each test. What do you notice?
The flux through a flat loop is , with the angle between the field and the normal to the loop. A coil of turns has the flux linkage . Faraday's law gives . The current is , and the charge that flows is .
Have you tried it?
Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. The emfs. . For s: V. For s: V.
Step 2. The charge. , that is mC. It is the same in both tests.
Step 3. The heat. For s: , that is mJ. For s: mJ.
Answer: V and V; mC in both; mJ and mJ.
What we notice. The time is four times longer, so the emf is four times smaller. The charge does not change. The heat is four times smaller, because it goes as . The same change of flux costs less energy when it is made slowly.
