Direction of induced current in conducting ring due to motion of bar m

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the direction of induced current in a conducting ring due to the motion of a bar magnet. The user initially believes the answer should be (B) based on their understanding but finds the correct answer is (A). They reference Lenz's law and the importance of the magnet's poles in determining the induced current's direction. After some confusion and seeking clarification, the user ultimately resolves their misunderstanding. The conversation highlights the application of Lenz's law and the significance of the magnet's orientation in electromagnetic induction.

The Attempt at a Solution



The relative velocity of magnet with respect to ring is 5−4=1m/s
How can I find the Direction of induced current in conducting ring due to motion of bar magnet?
I searched online and found this : http://www.phys.ufl.edu/courses/phy2049/f07/lectures/2049_ch30B.pdf

After reading that I think the answer should be (B) but the correct answer is (A).
Please help. Is there any rule for this ? ( Like the right hand thumb rule for induced magnetic field ?)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
When one tries to find the direction of induced current, the poles of the magnets also count. In the question the south pole goes first, and its description is given under the sub-heading 'Reverse pole' in web link you gave...
And yes, there is a law for this one and it is called the 'Lenz`s law'.
The below one is a wikipedia link for the law..

I don't understand. Using the reverse pole rule on that webpage I'm getting the answer as (A) , can you please explain why the answer is (B)?
Edit: Got it.

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
