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.
