When is coupling (induction) between two wires maximum?
- AWhen the wires are separated and at right angles
- BWhen the wires are close and parallel
- CWhen the wires are close and at right angles
- DWhen the wires are separated and parallel
Correct answer: B — When the wires are close and parallel. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.
Why
Induction happens when a changing current in one wire creates a magnetic field that pushes electrons in a nearby wire. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
