Question
When the switch S is closed in the figure given below, the pointer of the galvanometer moves to the right.
If S is kept closed, will the pointer:
(a) return to zero?
(b) stay over on the right?
(c) move to the left and stay there
(d) move to and fro until S is opened

Solution
return to zero
After some time, the magnetic field gets constant; this means that there is no relative change in the value of magnetic field. Therefore, the circuit will have zero induced current.
