Electromagnetic Induction capacitor

In summary, the discussion revolves around the movement of a magnet away from a thick conducting loop containing a capacitor. The question is raised about the direction of the south pole and how to determine where the excess positive charge will arrive. The solution involves finding the current induced with the change in magnetic flux and using the Left Hand Curve Rule to determine the direction of motion for the electrons or positive charges.

Consider the arrangements shown in figure in which the north pole of a magnet is moved away from a thick conducting loop containing capacitor. Then excess positive charge will arrive on : (Plate B = answer)

Am i correct in marking the side facing the magnet as south pole? ( because of Lenz Law)
My question is- How are we supposed to find where will the excess positive charge arrive?

Please help me out
Thanks in advance.

Find the current induced with the variant magnetic flux, and then try to find the direction of the motion of the electrons, or the positive charges.

Yes, got the answer using the Left Hand Curve Rule.
 

1. What is electromagnetic induction?

Electromagnetic induction is the process by which an electric current is generated in a conductor by moving it through a magnetic field or by changing the magnetic field around it.

2. How does a capacitor work?

A capacitor is an electrical component that stores energy in an electric field. It consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, and when a voltage is applied across the plates, it stores energy in the form of an electric charge.

3. What is the role of a capacitor in electromagnetic induction?

In electromagnetic induction, a capacitor is used to store and release electrical energy as needed. It can also help to smooth out any fluctuations in the current, ensuring a steady flow of electricity through the circuit.

4. How does an electromagnetic induction capacitor differ from a regular capacitor?

An electromagnetic induction capacitor is designed specifically for use in circuits that involve electromagnetic induction. It is typically larger and has a higher capacitance than a regular capacitor, allowing it to store more energy.

5. Can an electromagnetic induction capacitor be used in any circuit?

No, an electromagnetic induction capacitor is specifically designed for use in circuits that involve electromagnetic induction. It may not function properly or may cause damage if used in other circuits.
