Question

When the N-pole moves towards the coil, which induced current direction and near-face pole are observed?

Options

• No current; no pole on the face of the coil

• Anticlockwise viewed from the magnet; South pole that attracts the magnet

• Anticlockwise viewed from the magnet; North pole that repels the magnet

• Clockwise viewed from the magnet; South pole that attracts the magnet

Answer 1

The induced current is anticlockwise when viewed from the magnet. It creates a North pole on the near face, repelling the approaching N-pole.
