AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the Earth's magnetism will induce a current in an artificial satellite with a metal surface orbiting the Earth around the equator, we can analyze the situation using the principles of electromagnetic induction. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electromagnetic Induction**: - According to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, a change in magnetic flux through a closed loop induces an electromotive force (EMF) in that loop, which can cause a current to flow if the loop is conductive. 2. **Magnetic Field of the Earth**: ...
