Faraday's first law of electromagnetic induction says that an emf is induced whenever
Acurrent in the circuit is constant (typical)
Bthe resistance changes
Cthe magnetic flux through a closed circuit changes
Dthe temperature rises
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. the magnetic flux through a closed circuit changes
1. Faraday observed that moving a magnet near a coil produced current.
2. Generalising: any change in flux Φ linked with a closed loop induces an emf.
3. Hence the first law: a changing magnetic flux is required.
