Question

Why is it more correct to speak of an induced EMF than induced current?

Answer 1

because according to the principle  " the emf is generated when change in current take place in an circuit " that's why we speak an emf is induced not the current.

Answer 2

the coupling of the EMF incorporates the changing magnetic field and the induced current?

maybe more from maxwell's equations?

Answer 3

In a given alternator the physical characteristics are normally fixed and if a fixed speed is used the voltage or EMF induced will be relatively constant. The current will depend on the circuit connected. So it is more correct to use induced EMF rather than induced current because in a simple explanation the EMF is induced and depends on the size and speed of the alternator whereas the current depends on the external circuit.

Answer 4

To tell the truth, I'm not bothered by the phrase "induced current" at all.  The 'induced' electric field that gives rise to it is created by a changing magnetic field, but I don't see why it would be wrong to refer to the current as 'induced' as well.

It is true that an induced current only flows when there is a conductor present but the induced electric field is there no matter what. That makes the electric field is the more fundamental quantity.  But I still don't see anything wrong with labeling a current as 'induced.'
