Question

A bar magnet is taken away from a horizontally placed metal ring, while north pole of the magnet is facing the ring. The current induced in the coil will be in clockwise direction.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Lenz's law states that the induced current will appear in such a direction that it opposes the change in the flux in the coil. In the above case, to oppose the change in flux induced current will appear in clock wise direction i.e. north pole of the bar magnet would be facing the south pole of the metal ring.
