A metallic loop is placed in a nonuniform magnetic field. Will an emf be induced in the loop?

Assertion If a loop is placed in a non-uniform (with respect to position) magnetic field, then induced emf is produced in the loop. Reason In a non-uniform magnetic field, magnetic flux passing through the loop will change. Therefore, induced emf is produced.
