The unit of induced emf is ______.

Asked in GSEB Board July 2022 · Applications and conceptual

Answer: (3) weber per second

Step-by-step solution

Idea: Faraday's law gives the emf as a rate of change of flux, ε=-(dΦ)/(dt).

Flux is measured in webers and time in seconds.

So the unit of emf is the weber per second, Wb s⁻¹.

Check: 1 Wb=1 T m²=1 V s, so 1 Wb s⁻¹=1 V, the familiar unit of emf.

So the answer is the weber per second.

Why the other options are wrong
