Question

Which of the following best describes the general process of 'induction' as defined in the document?
Options
A The process of charging an insulated body by bringing another charged body near it.
B The process by which an electromotive force is produced in a circuit by varying the magnetic field linked with the circuit.
Correct Answer
C The process of generating heat in a conductor using an electric current.
D The process of magnetizing a material using a permanent magnet.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 30 provides multiple definitions for induction. One of the key definitions relevant to electromagnetic induction is: 'by which an electromotive force is produced in a circuit by varying the magnetic field linked with the circuit.'

Hint

Focus on the definition that involves producing EMF from a changing magnetic field.
