Question

Approximately how does the emf induced in the loop in Figure 23.57(b) depend on the distance of the center of the loop from the wire?

Short answer

The coil must be inversely proportional to the distance.

Step-by-step solution

Define Electromagnetic Induction

When a closed coil is placed in a continuously changing magnetic field, an electromotive force is induced in that coil. This phenomenon is known as Electromagnetic induction.

Explanation

The magnetic field which is produced with the help of the wire is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. So, it is said that the emf produced in the coil should be inversely proportional to the distance.

Therefore, the coil should be inversely proportional to distance.
