Question

Faraday's Law states that the negative of the time rate of change of the flux of the magnetic field through a surface is equal to which of the following quantities?
a. The flux of the magnetic field through a surface which has the loop as its boundary.
b. The negative of the time rate of change of the flux of the magnetic field through a surface which has the loop as its boundary.
c. The line integral of the magnetic field around the closed loop.
d. The flux of the electric field through a surface which has the loop as its boundary.

Answer 1

Answer:

(C). The line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop

Explanation:

Faraday's law states that induced emf is directly proportional to the time rate of change of magnetic flux.

This can be written mathematically as;

$EMF = -\frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t}$

$(\frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t} )$ is the rate of change of the magnetic flux through a surface bounded by the loop.

ΔФ = BA

where;

ΔФ is change in flux

B is the magnetic field

A is the area of the loop

Thus, according to Faraday's law of electric generators

∫BdL = $\frac{\delta \phi _B}{\delta t}$ = EMF

Therefore, the line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop is equal to the negative of the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop.

The correct option is "C"

(C). The line integral of the magnetic field around a closed loop
