Question
A metallic loop is placed in a nonuniform magnetic field. Will an emf be induced in the loop?
Advertisements
Solution
According to Faraday's Law, an emf is induced in a loop when the magnetic flux through the loop changes. If the magnetic field is nonuniform, the flux through the loop changes as the position of the loop changes relative to the magnetic field or if the strength of the magnetic field varies over time. This change in flux induces an emf in the loop. Therefore, in a nonuniform magnetic field, there will be a change in magnetic flux through the loop, leading to the induction of an emf.
