Electromagnetic Induction

Question 6 • (OC27) Earth/Space Sci-2001310-S2-Nelson

Tonya is modeling the discovery of electromagnetic induction. Which procedure should she use?

Answer
A
moving a magnet into a coil of wire in a closed circuit
B
moving a magnet into a coil of wire in an open circuit
C
bringing a compass near a wire that has no electric current
D
bringing a compass near a wire that has an electric current

Explanation

Electromagnetic induction occurs when a changing magnetic field produces an electric current in a circuit. Moving a magnet into a coil changes the magnetic field through the coil, and a closed circuit lets an induced current flow. An open circuit would not allow that current to flow.
