Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Increasing area of coil
Concept:

The maximum Electromotive Force (EMF) generated by an AC generator depends directly on its physical dimensions and operating speed.

Formula:

$$ \varepsilon_{\text{max}} = N \omega A B $$

Solution:

  • The equation reveals that maximum EMF is directly proportional to the Area (\( A \)) of the coil.


  • Therefore, increasing the area of the coil will linearly increase the total induced EMF.


Why other options are incorrect:

Decreasing the area, decreasing the magnetic field, or slowing the rotation (reducing \( \omega \)) all reduce the rate of flux change, which mathematically decreases the induced EMF.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
