Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A loop of wire is placed in a changing magnetic field. What phenomenon is this an example of?
  • Step 1: Understand what a loop of wire is. It is simply a piece of wire shaped into a circle.
  • Step 2: Learn about magnetic fields. A magnetic field is an area around a magnet where magnetic forces can be felt.
  • Step 3: Know that a changing magnetic field means that the strength or direction of the magnetic field is changing over time.
  • Step 4: Recognize that when the magnetic field around the loop of wire changes, it can create an electric current in the wire.
  • Step 5: This process of generating electric current from a changing magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction.
  • Electromagnetic Induction – The process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor.
