Regenerative braking is used in electric cars. When the driver applies the brakes the

motor acts as an electric generator, making use of the rotation of the wheels as they slow

down. This enables the battery to be charged whilst the car is braking.

The diagram shows a coil in a magnetic field which when rotating can be used as an

electric generator.

The coil rotates.

Explain how this produces a current in the coil.

(QWC – Work must be clear and organised in a logical manner using

technical wording where appropriate)

There is a changing (magnetic) flux (linkage)

Or the coil cuts (magnetic) field / flux (lines)

Inducing an emf (across the ends of the coil/wire)

Generating a current because there is a closed circuit

Or generating a current because coil is in a circuit

State why the current produced in the coil cannot be used directly to charge a battery.

Current produced is a.c. / alternating

Or the battery needs d.c.

3 Mark s

When regenerative braking is being used, explain how the magnitude of the generated

e.m.f. changes as the driver brakes steadily.

(As rate of rotation of wheels reduces)

the rate of change of (magnetic) flux( linkage) reduces

Or rate of cutting field lines decreases

e.m.f. is proportional to the rate of change of flux (linkage)

(induced) e.m.f. decreases (steadily)
