Question

Figure shows a coil C connected to a galvanometer G. When the North-pole of a bar magnet is pushed towards the coil, the pointer in the galvanometer deflects. Regarding this set up, the following statements are given:
(A) It indicates the presence of electric current in the coil.
(B) The deflection is found to be smaller when the magnet is pushed towards the coil faster.
(C) There is repulsion in the moving magnet and the magnetic pole induced in the coil facing towards the N pole of the magnet.
(D) If the bar magnet does not move, there is no induced current in the coil.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

The correct answer is
(A), (C) and (D) only

To solve this question, we need to understand the principles of electromagnetic induction as described by Faraday's Law.

  1. Statement (A): "It indicates the presence of electric current in the coil."

    This statement is true. According to Faraday’s Law, when the magnet is moved towards the coil, it induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the coil, resulting in a current, which is detected as a deflection in the galvanometer.

  2. Statement (B): "The deflection is found to be smaller when the magnet is pushed towards the coil faster."

    This statement is false. A faster change in the magnetic field (faster movement of the magnet) induces a greater EMF, resulting in greater deflection, not smaller.

  3. Statement (C): "There is repulsion in the moving magnet and the magnetic pole induced in the coil facing towards the N pole of the magnet."

    This statement is true. Lenz’s Law states that the direction of induced current is such that it opposes the change in magnetic field, causing a repulsive interaction.

  4. Statement (D): "If the bar magnet does not move, there is no induced current in the coil."

    This statement is true. No movement implies no change in magnetic flux, so no EMF or current is induced.

The correct answer is therefore the option including statements (A), (C), and (D) only.
