Electromagnetic Induction concept understanding

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction, specifically why a galvanometer reads zero when a magnet exits a coil. The induced current is generated as the magnet moves through the coil, creating a change in magnetic flux, which is measured by the galvanometer. Once the magnet completely exits the coil, there is no longer a change in magnetic flux, resulting in a reading of zero. The confusion stems from the relationship between movement and induced current, emphasizing that current is only induced during changes in flux. Understanding this principle clarifies the observed behavior of the galvanometer.

Homework Statement


Using a galvanometer and a coil, we thrust a magnet with a defined north and south pole into the coil and the galvanometer measured the induced current created. Now, depending on how the coil flow(front to back or vice versa) the galvanometer measured an induced current. However, when the magnet reached the end of the coil, it read 0. Why did this happen?

Homework Equations


  • ε=-dΦ/dt
  • I=Δq/Δt

The Attempt at a Solution


I can't seem to understand why the galvanometer would read 0. Because when the magnet is going into the coil, North side going in, it started changing, but once it reached the bottom it read zero. I keep thinking it has something to do with movement, but I am 99% sure that is incorrect. Can anyone assist me in my confusion?

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
