The emf developed in a coil X due to the current in a neighboring coil Y is proportional to the

Correct answer: C. rate of change of magnetic field in X

  • A. thickness of the wire in X
  • B. resistance of X
  • C. rate of change of magnetic field in X
  • D. electric fields in X

Explanation

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the electromotive force (EMF) induced in a coil is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic field. Mathematically, it is expressed as EMF = -dΦ/dt, where Φ is the magnetic flux. In this case, the rate of change of magnetic field in coil X is the determining factor.

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.
