Answer #1

According to lenz law,in a region of changing magnetic flux, current is induced such that it tries to oppose the change in flux.

Now, north pole of the magnet is pointing up. So, magnetic flux through the ring is towards the observer when looked from above. Also, since magnet is moving towards the ring, magnetic flux is increasing with time.

So,when viewed from above, magnetic flux is towards the observer and is increasing. So, according to lenz law, induced current will cause a magnetic flux away from the observer. This requires a clockwise current according to right hand rule.

So, induced current is clockwise.

If you drop a bar magnet down a tube made of conducting material (like copper or aluminum) something interesting happens: the bar magnet does not simply accelerate all the way down under the influence of gravity. Instead, there are forces that oppose the motion and cause the bar magnet to descend at essentially a constant velocity. Suppose you do this two times: once with the north pole of the magnet facing down and the second time with the north pole...

A conducting bar of slides on frictionless conducting rails, falling under the influence of ordinary gravity. The rails are vertical and they sit in a powerful magnetic field which is perpendicular to the plane of the rails. The bar somehow maintains good electrical contact with the rails. At the top of the bar, the two rails are connected by a fixed resistor, R. a. As the bar falls, a current will be induced. Will this current be in the clockwise...

Is it correct that bringing the N pole of the magnet toward and then away from a clockwise wound coil will cause a negative and then positive deflection or pulse on the galvanometer? If this is correct or not can SOMEONE please explain how the N pole magnet is causing the deflection in whatever direction based on how the coil is wound?
