electromagnetism

B.

electromagnetic induction

C.

electromagnetic radiation

D.

electric conduction

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.
