Why does a magnet create an electric current when passed through a circular coil of conductor?

Open in App

Solution

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, an emf is induced in a conducting loop when it is linked with a varying magnetic flux.

As the magnet passes through circular coil, a varying magnetic flux is linked with the coil and induces some emf and thereby current in the coil.
