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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the direction of induced current in a conducting ring due to the motion of a bar magnet, specifically when the south pole of the magnet approaches the ring. The relative velocity of the magnet with respect to the ring is established as 1 m/s. Participants reference Lenz's Law and the reverse pole rule to analyze the situation, ultimately confirming that the correct answer is (B), despite initial confusion regarding the application of these principles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Lenz's Law
  • Familiarity with magnetic poles and their effects on induced current
  • Knowledge of electromagnetic induction principles
  • Basic grasp of relative motion in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Lenz's Law in detail to understand its implications on induced currents
  • Explore the right-hand rule for determining the direction of induced magnetic fields
  • Investigate the effects of different magnet orientations on induced currents
  • Review case studies involving electromagnetic induction in conducting loops
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding electromagnetic induction and its applications in real-world scenarios.

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 ?)

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.
