Is current proportional to emf

Click For Summary
Faraday's law establishes that electromotive force (emf) is proportional to the change in magnetic flux. When a magnet approaches a closed loop, the increasing flux induces an emf. Consequently, an electric current is also induced in the loop. This indicates that current is proportional to emf, which in turn is proportional to the rate of change of flux. Therefore, current is ultimately proportional to the change in flux as well.

Faraday's law states that emf is proportional to change in flux. The scenario I am using is a magnet is moved towards a closed loop. As it moves towards the loop, flux through the loop is increased causing a emf to be induced. Does I also know that a current is induced. So does that mean current is proportional to emf and therefore is also proportional to change in flux?

Thanks

Current is proportional to EMF, which is itself proportional to rate of change of flux.
