$\frac{v^2}{r}$, directed radially inward

A wire of length $L$ carrying current $I$ sits in a uniform magnetic field $B$. The force on the wire is greatest when:

The wire is perpendicular to $B$

An electron enters a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the field. It will:

Travel in a circle at constant speed

Faraday's law states that induced EMF equals:

The rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit (with a negative sign)

DC motors and AC generators differ structurally mainly in:

The use of a split-ring commutator (motor/DC generator) vs slip rings (AC generator)

Conservation of momentum applies to a closed system means:

No external forces act, so the total momentum vector is constant

The work done by gravity on a satellite in a circular orbit per orbit is:

Zero (gravity is perpendicular to velocity throughout)

Which is the strongest opening for a Module 6 extended response on electromagnetic induction?

Faraday's law of induction underpins modern power generation and transmission, with Lenz's law dictating both the polarity of induced currents and the design of efficient transformers.
