Solution

The correct option is A

electromotive force (emf)


Due to a change in the magnetic field, by the motion of a conductor across the magnetic field, a force develops on electrons of a conductor which causes them to move and thus a current is generated. This is called Electromagnetic induction. It causes the production of an electromotive force (emf) (i.e., voltage) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. So, here the answer is electromotive force(emf).

Let's look at the other given options also.

Option (B):- Electromagnetic force- A fundamental force in nature. The electromagnetic force acts between charged particles and is a combination of all electrical and magnetic forces. The electromagnetic force can be attractive or repulsive.

Option(C):- Electrostatic force- The attraction or repulsion of particles or objects because of their electric charge. Two like electric charges, both positive or both negative, repel each other along a straight line passing through their centres, else they attract each other (opposite poles/charges).
