Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) electromagnetic induction
Key points:
- Electromagnetic induction is a current produced because of voltage production (electromotive force) due to a changing magnetic field.
- This process happens when a conductor is placed in a moving magnetic field (when using an AC power source) or when a conductor is constantly moving in a stationary magnetic field.
- The factors which influence voltage production are the number of cells and varying magnetic fields.
Information booster:
- Electromagnetic Induction was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831.
- Some of the applications of electromagnetic induction are as follows: AC generators, Transformers, etc.
