Question

A bar magnet is moved in the direction as indicated by the arrow between coils $PQ$ and $CD$. Predict the direction of the induced current in each coil.

Answer 1

N-pole is receding away from coil 1,so in coil 1 the near faces will act as S-pole and in coil 2 the nearer faces will also act as S-pole to oppose the approach of magnet towards coil 2. So current in coils will flow clockwise as seen from the side of magnet. The direction of current will be from P to Q in coil 1 and from C to D in coil 2.
