2. Why is it more difficult to move a magnet into a coil which has a larger number of turns?
A coil with a larger number of turns can induce a larger electromotive force or a larger amount of electrical energy. Thus, by the principle of
conservation of energy, more mechanical work needs to be done.
4. Explain why an induced current must flow in such a direction so as to oppose the change producing it.
According to Principle of conservation of energy,
mechanical work has to be done against the opposing force to induce a current. This mechanical energy
