PHY 102 Electromagnetic Induction 2 Objective Question

Question

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, what does a magnetic field interact with to produce an electromotive force (EMF)?
Options
A A magnetic field
B An electric circuit
Correct Answer
C A static electric charge
D A semiconductor
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

As stated on page 2, Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction 'is a basic law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF)'.
