MCQ
Complete the following statement. For electromagnetic induction to occur:
  • A
    a magnet must be at rest within a coil of wire
  • B
    a coil of wire must be at rest relative to the magnet.
  • C
    a magnet must move through a coil of wire.
  • D
    a magnet and a coil must have the same velocity.

Answer

  1. a coil of wire must be at rest relative to the magnet.

Explanation:

Current is induced in a coil when flux through the coil changes. The flux through the coil changes when a magnet moves relative to the coil and coil is at rest relative to the magnet.
