TUTORIAL 7 - Chapter 19.7 - 19.9, 20.1 - 20.2: Conceptual & Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ)
1. The ____________ (electric flux / magnetic flux) is the measure of how much the
____________ (magnetic field / magnetic force) vectors penetrate through a given surface.
2. “The sum of all such products over the closed path is equal to µo times the net current, I
that passes through the surface bounded by the closed path”. This statement is known as
____________ (Faraday’s Law of Induction / Ampere’s Circuital Law).

the negative of the rate of ____________ through the circuit.
