Asked in Premeth MDCAT 2025 LR-04 — Electromagnetism, Transition Elements 2025

Time-varying magnetic field creates an electric field, this is called _.

Correct answer: C. Electromagnetic induction

  • A. Electric induction
  • B. Magnetic induction
  • C. Electromagnetic induction
  • D. Dipole induction

Explanation

Option C is correct since electromagnetic induction is a process in which a conductor is put in a particular position and the magnetic field keeps varying or the magnetic field is stationary and a conductor is moving. This produces a Voltage or EMF (Electromotive Force) across the electrical conductor.

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.
