Question 8 • FL-2003310-Physical Science CR

Georgia moves an unattached piece of wire back and forth over a magnet. Which best explains what will happen?

Answer
A
A current will be induced because the wire moves through a magnetic field.
B
A current will not be induced because the wire moves through a magnetic field.
C
A current will be induced because the wire is not part of a closed circuit.
D
A current will not be induced because the wire is not part of a closed circuit.

Explanation

Moving the wire through the magnetic field can create a voltage, but an electric current needs a complete path for charges to flow. Because the wire is unattached and does not form a closed circuit, no current will flow. So the best choice is “A current will not be induced because the wire is not part of a closed circuit.”
