The induced current is the highest when the direction of motion of the coil is:

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. at right angles to the magnetic field

  • The induced current is the highest when the direction of motion of the coil is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.
  • This is described by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
  • When the motion of the coil is perpendicular to the magnetic field, the change in magnetic flux is the greatest, resulting in the highest induced current.
