Basic Physics: Lenz Law

Question 1

What is it called when a conductive material is moved through a strong magnetic field and opposing magnetic fields are produced

Answer 1

Lenz’s force

Question 2

True or False: Magnetic fields and electric fields are almost always found together?

Answer 2

True

Question 3

Name one instance where an electric field is not accompanied by a magnetic field?

Answer 3

Static electricity

Question 4

Name one instance where magnetic fields are not accompanied by electric fields

Answer 4

a permanent magnet

Question 5

How can you minimize the effects of Lenz’s force, for instance, when thinking about moving an implant into the scanner?

Answer 5

move slowly. The slower we go, the weaker the opposing force
