Question

If you want to decrease the current created by a generator what can you do?

Answer 1

Answer:

To decrease the current;

1) Use fewer loops or number of turns

2) Use a lower speed of rotation of the coil in the magnetic field

3) Use a weaker magnetic

Explanation:

According to Faraday's Law of induction, which is the basis of the electromagnetism, electromagnetic induction and therefore the basis of the  electric generator, can be written as follows;

$\epsilon = -N \cdot \dfrac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}$

Where;

ε = The induced voltage

N = The number of turns (loops)

ΔФ = The change in the magnetic flux

Δt = The change in the time (the duration)

Given that voltage is directly related to the current, decreasing the voltage, decreases the current

To decrease the voltage, and therefore, the current we can;

1) Reduce the number of loops in the coil

2) Increase the time change per unit change in flux by slowing down the speed of rotation of the generator

3) Decrease the amount of change in the magnetic field per turn, by using a weaker magnetic
