Question

A magnet is quickly moved in the direction indicated by an arrow, between two coils $C_1$ and $C_2$, as shown in the figure.
What will be the direction of induced current in each coil, as seen from the magnet? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

REF.Image.

The coils try to oppose the change in magnetic

field caused by moving the magnet suddenly.

As N-pole of magnet is moving away the coil

will try to attract it by inducing current

in such direction that it behaves as a

south pole i.e. clockwise direction.

Similarly as S-pole is moving towards the

coil it will try to repel it by inducing

current in such a direction that it behaves

as a south pole i.e, clockwise.

Thus, direction of current in both coils as

seen from the magnet will be clockwise.
