Question

The process by which an emf and hence current is generated or induced in a conductor when there is a change in the magnetic flux linking the conductor is called:
Options
A electromagnetic induction
Correct Answer
B mutual induction
C Faraday's law
D Electromagnetic interference
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electromotive force (emf) and thus an electric current are generated in a conductor when it is exposed to a changing magnetic field or when the conductor moves through a magnetic field.

Hint

Think about the fundamental principle governing the generation of current by changing magnetic fields.
