When the magnet shown in the diagram below is moving towards the coil, the galvanometer gives a reading to the right.

(i) What is the name of the effect being produced by the moving magnet?
(ii) State what happens to the reading shown on the galvanometer when the magnet is moving away from the coil.
(iii) The original experiment is repeated. This time the magnet is moved towards the coil at a great speed. State two changes you would notice in the reading on the galvanometer.

Solution

(i) The effect is called electromagnetic induction. It causes production of an induced current in the coil on the movement of the magnet.
(ii) The reading shown on the galvanometer will be on the left side when the magnet is moving away from the coil.
(iii) Two changes noticed in the reading on the galvanometer:

The deflection of galvanometer will be more to the right side.

The deflection will occur more quickly.

The given figure shows a coil connected to a centre zero galvanometer G. The galvanometer shows a deflection to the right when the N-pole of a powerful magnet is moved to the right as shown.

State the observation in the galvanometer G when the coil is moved away from N.

Moving coil galvanometer operates on Permanent Magnet Moving Coil (PMMC) mechanism.

Moving coil galvanometers are of two types
(a) Suspended coll
(b) Pivoted coil type or tangent galvanometer,

Its working is based on the fact that when a current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a torque. This torque tends to rotate the coil about its axis of suspension in such a way that the magnetic flux passing through the coil is maximum.
