According to Faraday's Law, the magnitude of the induced electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor is directly proportional to the:

  1. Rate of change of magnetic flux

  2. Magnetic field strength

  3. Area of the conductor

  4. Resistance of the conductor


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Faraday's Law states that the magnitude of the induced EMF is equal to the negative rate of change of magnetic flux through the conductor.

The direction of the induced EMF is given by:

  1. Lenz's Law

  2. Ohm's Law

  3. Kirchhoff's Law

  4. Coulomb's Law


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lenz's Law states that the direction of the induced EMF is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.

The unit of magnetic flux is:

  1. Weber (Wb)

  2. Tesla (T)

  3. Ampere (A)

  4. Volt (V)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The unit of magnetic flux is the Weber (Wb), which is defined as the magnetic flux through a surface of area 1 square meter perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 1 Tesla.
