  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 30-year-old engineer places a copper coil near a power transformer. What phenomenon occurs when the magnetic field through the coil changes?

    • A) Electromagnetic induction
    • B) Magnetic resonance
    • C) Faraday's law of electrolysis
    • D) Gauss's law

    Answer: Electromagnetic induction

    Explanation: Electromagnetic induction occurs when a changing magnetic field induces an electric field. Magnetic resonance is a phenomenon of nuclear spins, Faraday's law of electrolysis relates to electrolysis, and Gauss's law relates to electric field distribution.
