The process in which a change of current in one coil causes an induced electromotive forcein another nearby coil is called
Correct answer: C. Mutual induction.
- A. Self-induction.
- B. Self-inductance.
- C. Mutual induction.
- D. Mutual inductance.
Explanation
The correct answer is mutual induction. This process involves the induction of electromotive force (EMF) in one coil due to a changing current in a nearby coil. In contrast, self-induction and self-inductance refer to phenomena and properties related to a single coil. Mutual inductance is a measurement of the efficiency of this induction but does not describe the process itself.

About Faraday's Law
Faraday's law states that an induced electromotive force equals the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage through a circuit. Questions cover changing field, area, angle or motion, the negative sign associated with Lenz's law, and the distinction between induced emf and the current that may flow in a closed circuit.
