In which of the following cases emf would be induced-
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes even if the circuit is open.
Electromotive force (emf) is induced whenever the magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes.
☀ When a coil and a magnet move with the same velocity in the same direction ⟶ No emf (relative motion = 0, flux does not change).
☀ When a magnet is rotated about its own axis ⟶ No emf (flux through coil does not change).
☀ Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes even if the circuit is open ⟶ Yes, emf induced.
☀ When a closed loop moves totally inside a uniform magnetic field ⟶ No emf (flux does not change).
Correct answer: Only the third case
