Question

A student is conducting an experiment with electromagnetic induction. However, no matter how many times the student moves the magnetic across the wire, there is no current induced in the wire. Which of the following would be the most likely explanation as to why this is happening? (1 point)

The magnetic flux is perpendicular to the wire

The magnetic flux is parallel to the wire

The magnet is too close to the wire

The wire is not large enough to carry a current

The most likely explanation for why no current is induced in the wire when the magnetic is moved is:

**The magnetic flux is parallel to the wire.**

In electromagnetic induction, a current is induced in a conductor only when there is a change in magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the conductor. If the magnetic field (flux) is parallel to the wire, there is no change in the magnetic flux linking with the wire, hence no induced current.
