Practice question
Question
A bar magnet is pushed towards a coil with its north pole first, then pulled back. The direction of the
induced current in the coil during withdrawal is opposite to that during approach due to what?
Explanation
**Flux change example** coil 150 turns area 0.06 m² B 0.14 T drops to zero in 0.3 s, ΔΦ = B A =0.14×0.06=0.0084 Wb per turn, ΔΦ/Δt=0.028 Wb/s, e=150×0.028=4.2 V, illustrating calculation from B and area. Lenz’s law causes the current to oppose the flux change: it creates a north pole to repel the approaching magnet and a south pole to attract it during withdrawal, reversing the direction. Using Φ = B A cosθ, e = -N dΦ/dt = -N A dB/dt = B l v = N B A ω sinωt, L = μ₀ N²A/l, M = e/(dI/dt) and U = ½ L I²,
