PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 1 Objective Question

Question

One of Faraday's experiments described in the document involved two coils. What was the key observation from this setup?
Options
A A constant current in one coil induced a constant current in the other.
B Changing the current in one coil induced a current in the other coil.
Correct Answer
C The size of the current in one coil directly determined the size of the induced current in the other.
D No current was ever induced unless the coils were physically moving.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 5, under 'Faraday's Experiments', bullet point 1 states: 'Changing the current in the right-hand coil induces a current in the left-hand coil.'

Hint

The concept of 'changing' is crucial for electromagnetic induction.
