directly proportional to the diameter of the conductor

inversely proportional to the voltage on the conductor



B-005-11-06: Maximum induced voltage in a coil occurs when:

current is going through its greatest rate of change

the current through the coil is of a DC nature

current is going through its least rate of change

the magnetic field around the coil is not changing



B-005-11-07: The voltage induced in a conductor moving in a magnetic field is at a maximum when the movement is:
