Faraday's law states that the induced electromotive force round a circuit equals

  • A.the negative rate of change of the flux linking it
  • B.the flux linking it, without any differentiation
  • C.the rate of change of the current in the circuit
  • D.the negative of the flux density threading it

Answer: A

Correct answer: the negative rate of change of the flux linking it

\[ \mathrm{emf} = -\frac{\mathrm{d}\Phi}{\mathrm{d}t}. \] Two features matter. It is the *rate of change* that induces, so a large steady flux induces nothing; and the minus sign is Lenz’s law, which makes the induced current oppose the change that produced it - without it, energy would not be conserved.
