Electromagnetic Induction

Question:

Which of the following statements is not correct for electromagnetic induction?

Options:

The magnitude of induced emf in a circuit is equal to the time rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.

The magnitude of induced emf in a circuit is equal to the total change of magnetic flux through the circuit.

The induced emf can be increased by increasing the number of turns N of a closed coil.

The polarity of induced emf is such that it tends to produce a current which opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it

Correct Answer:

The magnitude of induced emf in a circuit is equal to the total change of magnetic flux through the circuit.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → The magnitude of induced emf in a circuit is equal to the total change of magnetic flux through the circuit.

According to Faraday’s law, the induced emf is given by

$\varepsilon = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt}$

i.e., EMF depends on the time rate of change of magnetic flux, not the total change of flux.
