A changing electric field produces

Correct answer: C. Changing magnetic field

  • A. emf
  • B. Current
  • C. Changing magnetic field
  • D. None of these

Explanation

A changing electric field produces a changing magnetic field. This is one of the fundamental principles of electromagnetism, described by Maxwell's equations.Faraday's Law: This law states that a changing magnetic flux through a loop of wire induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the loop.Maxwell's Equations: Maxwell's equations unify electricity and magnetism, and they show that a changing electric field creates a magnetic field.Therefore, a changing electric field does not directly produce an EMF or current. It produces a changing magnetic field, which can then induce an EMF in a conductor.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
