A constant magnetic field of 5T is passing through a static conducting loop of area 0.8m2, the induced emf is

Correct answer: C. Zero

  • A. 4 V
  • B. 10 V
  • C. Zero
  • D. 32 V

Explanation

The induced EMF (electromotive force) in a conducting loop is determined by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which states that an EMF is induced when there is a change in magnetic flux through the loop. In this scenario, we have a constant magnetic field of 5T and a static conducting loop with an area of 0.8m². Since the magnetic field strength does not change, the magnetic flux through the loop remains constant, leading to an induced EMF of zero. Therefore, Option C is correct. Options A (4 V), B (10 V), and D (32 V) all propose values for the induced EMF that imply a change in magnetic flux, which does not exist in this instance due to the constancy of the magnetic field.

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.
