In order to have voltage induced, there must be ? between the conductor and the magnetic field.

• A. Relative motion
• B. Electromagnetic induction
• C. Reluctance
• D. Resistance

Answer: (A)

Voltage is induced when the magnetic flux linking a conductor changes. The simplest way this happens is when the conductor moves relative to the magnetic field, so it cuts across the field lines. That relative motion changes the amount of flux the conductor encircles, creating an electromotive force. If there’s no relative motion and the field is steady, the flux through the conductor doesn’t change and no induced voltage appears. While electromagnetic induction describes the process of generating EMF, the specific trigger in this scenario is the changing flux caused by the conductor moving through the field. Reluctance and resistance describe magnetic and electrical opposition, not the cause of induction itself.
