Question
The diagram shows a coil connected to a center zero galvanometerG . The galvanometer shows a deflect ion to the right when the north pole N of a powerful magnet is moved to the right as shown .

(i) Explain, why the defelct ion occurs in the galvanometer.
(ii ) State whether th e current in the coil is cl ockwise or anticl ockwise
when viewed from the end P.
(iii ) State th e observation in G when the coil is moved away from north
pole N of the magnet keeping the magnet stationary.
(iv)State the observation in G when both the coil and the magnet are
moved to right at th e same speed .

Solution
(i) This is due to change in magnetic flux in the coil. Due to change in magnetic flux an induced emf is produced in the coil. Hence, a current flows through the galvanometer.
(ii) The current appears anticlockwise when viewed from end A because end A will form north-pole.
(iii) The galvanometer now deflects towards left.
(iv) No deflection is observed as there is no relative motion between the magnet and the coil.
