Question

The coil of wire in the center of the screen encompasses an area through which magnetic field lines pass, so there is a magnetic flux through those coils. With the magnet stationary, is this magnetic flux producing any flow of current or potential difference?

Answer 1

Answer:

No, the coil will produce no flow of current or potential difference.

Explanation:

Magnetic field flux is the number of magnetic field line passing through a given area. It depends on the area and the magnetic field strength through this area. For electromagnetic induction to occur, there must be a constantly changing magnetic field. This is according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction that states that the induced EMF is directly proportional to the rate of change in flux ΔФ/Δt, and is also proportional to the number of turns on the coil. A changing magnetic field will lead to a break in the flux linkage, which induces current or potential difference on the coil. A stationary coil through a magnetic filed will therefore produce no electric flow of current or potential difference on the coil.
