PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 1 Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

According to the document, what causes the appearance of an induced electric field (E) in a stationary conductor?
Options
A The velocity of moving charges within the conductor.
B The presence of a static electric charge on the conductor.
C A time-varying magnetic field B.
Correct Answer
D The resistance of the conductor.
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Slide 27 clearly states: 'A time-varying magnetic field B causes an electric field E to appear!' It also clarifies that it's not due to F = qv x B because charges start stationary.

Hint

Focus on the initial condition of the conductor (stationary) and the field causing the induction.
