Electromotive force Correct Ans-Force on electrons that tries to push them along. Known
as the emf.
Electromagnetic induction Correct Ans-Phenomenon in which a changing magnetic field,
relative to a wire, will produce an emf.
Fleming's right hand rule Correct Ans-Also known as the dynamo rule. Works out
directions involved in electromagnetic induction.
Solenoid Correct Ans-Electrical coil.

Magnetic flux Correct Ans-Product of the magnetic flux density and the area.
Magnetic flux linkage Correct Ans-Product of the magnetic flux and the number of turns of
the coil.
Faraday's law Correct Ans-"The induced emf in a circuit is equal to the rate of change of
flux linkage through the circuit".
Alternator Correct Ans-Generator of AC.

Line of force Correct Ans-Direction a hypothetical "free north pole" would travel in the
field. Otherwise known as a field line.
Motor effect Correct Ans-Effect in which a current in a magnetic field experiences a force.
Fleming's left hand rule Correct Ans-Way of working out the directions involved in the
motor effect.
