A coil of wire is connected to a resistor as shown.

q6-wph14-04-june-2021-edexcel-int-as-and-a-level-phy

The magnetic flux density of the field through the coil is increased steadily from zero to a maximum value.

Which of the following single changes would result in a smaller current in the resistor?

  • increasing the area of the coil in the magnetic field

  • increasing the maximum flux density

  • increasing the number of turns on the coil

  • increasing the time taken to reach the maximum flux density
