MCQ
Which of the following defines electromagnetic induction:
  • When the magnetic field associated with a coil changes, an induced electric current flows through the coil.
  • B
    Electric current induces magnetic field near the wire carrying current.
  • C
    Two permanent magnets exert force on each other.
  • D
    Electrolyte disintegrates into ions in a battery.

Answer

Correct option: A.
When the magnetic field associated with a coil changes, an induced electric current flows through the coil.
The magnetic field associated with a coil is the magnetic flux flowing normally to the surface area of the current$-$carrying coil. When it changes, an emf is produced opposing the cause. This is the principle of Electromagnetic induction.
