The force exerted on a wire of one meter length carrying one ampere current placed at right angle to the field is called:

Correct answer: D. Magnetic induction

  • A. Lorentz force
  • B. Self-inductance
  • C. Magnetic flux
  • D. Magnetic induction

Explanation

Magnetic induction, also known as electromagnetic induction, refers to the process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a nearby conductor. This fundamental principle in physics was discovered by Michael Faraday in the early 19th century.

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.
