An induced e.m.f. is produced when a magnet is plunged into a coil. The strength

An induced e.m.f. is produced when a magnet is plunged into a coil. The strength of the induced e.m.f. is independent of

  • A. the strength of the magnet
  • B. number of turns of coil
  • C. the resistivity of the wire of the coil
  • D. speed with which the magnet is moved

Step-by-step solution

According to Faraday's law, the induced emf is given by ε = -N dΦ/dt. It depends on the number of turns (N), the rate of change of magnetic flux (dΦ/dt), which is influenced by the magnet's strength and the speed of motion. Resistivity of the wire determines the coil's resistance but does not affect the induced emf itself.
