Question
Explain induced potential difference (or electromotive force) and induced electric current. On what factor does induced potential difference (or electromotive force) depend?

Answer

  • Because of the rate of change of number of magnetic field lines linked with the loop during the relative motion of a magnet and loop or due to a changing current in a nearby conductor, an electric potential difference is induced in the coil.
  • It is called induced potential difference (or electromotive force).
  • Due to this electromotive force, electric current is obtained in a loop.
  • It is known as induced electric current.
  • The electromotive force induced in a loop is proportional to the rate of change of number of magnetic field lines associated with the loop and the number of turns of a loop.
