Moving Charges And Magnetism

Question
CBSEENPH12047788

The north pole of a long horizontal bar magnet is being brought closer to a vertical conducting plane along the perpendicular direction. The direction of the induced current in the conducting plane will be

  • horizontal

  • vertical

  • clockwise

  • Anticlockwise

Solution

C.

clockwise

The induced emf will oppose the motion of the magnet. Applying the right-hand rule, the direction of induced current will be clockwise.

                           

Above image shows the direction of the magnetic force acting on a charged particle. The force on a positively charged particle with velocity v and making an angle θ with the magnetic field B is given by the right-hand rule.
