Moving a magnet towards a coil induces in the coil an:
- Optical signal
- Acoustic pulse
- Electric current
- Magnetic charge
Show answer and solution
Correct answer: C. Electric current
1. The flux through the coil changes as the magnet nears it.
2. That change drives an emf around the loop.
3. Electric current is induced in the coil.
4. So the answer is electric current.
