Question 1

[Maximum number: 1]

The diagram shows a bar magnet and a coil of wire. The bar magnet is moved at the same speed in each experiment.

Question 2

[Maximum number: 1]

When a conductor in a complete circuit cuts across a magnetic field, a current is induced in the conductor.

Which statement about the induced current is correct?

A

The induced current is in the same direction as the motion of the conductor.

B

The induced current is in the opposite direction to the motion of the conductor.

C

The direction of the induced current is in the same direction as the magnetic field.

D

The direction of the induced current opposes the change causing it.

Question 3

[Maximum number: 1]

A piece of soft iron XY has a coil of wire wound round it.

The N pole of a bar magnet is pulled away from end X which causes an induced current in the coil.

The magnet is now turned round so that the N pole is on the left. It is taken to the other end of the soft iron and the N pole is pushed towards end Y . A new current is induced in the coil.

Which statement is correct?

A

The new induced current is in the opposite direction and causes the soft iron to attract the N pole.

B

The new induced current is in the opposite direction and causes the soft iron to repel the N pole.

C

The new induced current is in the same direction and causes the soft iron to attract the N pole.

D

The new induced current is in the same direction and causes the soft iron to repel the N pole.
