Question

Suppose that a bar magnet falls through a conducting hoop of wire with its north pole facting downward. Three consecutive snapshots of its descent are shown below. For each snapshot, state whether: the magnetic flux through the loop is upward, downward, or zero; the induced current is clockwise, counterclockwise, or zero, from the point of view of an observer looking down from above the loop. Make a qualitative sketch of the induced current versus time (taking counterclockwise as seen from above to be the positive direction), and label times 1,2 and 3 on this plot.

Explanation / Answer

A) magnetic flux is negative ,so i am considering negative as downward

B) according to lenz's law

the induced current is counterclockwisedirection

the induced current is in direction
