Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of current is induced in electromagnetic induction?
A
Alternating Current
B
Direct Current
C
Rotating Current
D
Single Current
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced because of voltage production (electromotive force) due to a changing magnetic field. This either happens when a conductor is placed in a moving magnetic field (when using an AC power source) or when a conductor is constantly moving in a stationary magnetic field.

Detailed explanation-2: -Electrical conductors moving through a steady magnetic field, or stationary conductors within a changing magnetic field, will have circular currents induced within them by induction, called eddy currents.

Detailed explanation-3: -Electromagnetic induction occurs when a circuit with an alternating current flowing through it generates current in another circuit simply by being placed nearby. An alternating current is the kind of electricity flowing through power lines and home wiring, as opposed to a direct current, which we get from batteries.

Detailed explanation-4: -An AC generator is an electric generator that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy in the form of alternative emf or alternating current. An AC generator works on the principle of “Electromagnetic Induction”.

Detailed explanation-5: -Like direct current, an alternating current also produces magnetic field. But the magnitude and direction of the field goes on changing continuously with time.
