Question

In Faraday's experiment if instead of moving the magnet towards the coil we move the coil towards the magnet, will there be any induced current? justify your answer. Compare the two causes

Answer 1

In Faraday's Experiment, if we move coil towards the magnet, the magnetic flux through the coil changes , so an emf is induced in the coil.so there will be induced current.
justification:
take a magnet and a coil and connect a galvanometer across the coil. At starting, the magnet is at rest, so there is no deflection in the galvanometer i.e needle of galvanometer is at the center or zero position. When the magnet is moved towards the coil, the needle of galvanometer deflects in one direction. When the magnet is held stationary at that position, the needle of galvanometer returns back to zero position. Now when the magnet is moved away from the coil, there is some deflection in the needle but in opposite direction and again when the magnet becomes stationary, at that point with respect to coil, the needle of the galvanometer returns back to the zero position. Similarly, if magnet is held stationary and the coil is moved away and towards the magnet, the galvanometer shows deflection in similar manner. It is also seen that, the faster the change in the magnetic field, the greater will be the induced emf or voltage in the coil.
