Question 44

Electromagnetic Induction

Induced emfs are best explained using

  1. A.Ohm's law.
  2. B.Faraday's law.
  3. C.Colomb's law.
  4. D.Lenz's law.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (Faraday's law.)

Explanation

Faraday's law says an e.m.f. is induced whenever the magnetic flux through a circuit changes, and its size equals the rate of change of flux. Lenz's law only adds the direction.
