Define the term induced electric current.
Answer
Induced current is the current produced in a closed conductor when the magnetic field around it changes.
Induced electric current is the current produced in a conductor (a closed coil or circuit) when the magnetic field around it changes, for example when a magnet is moved towards or away from a coil. The process is called electromagnetic induction.
