A bar magnet is placed stationary next to a conducting coil, as shown below.What do we observe in the coil?Choose 1 answer:

Correct answer: D. Nothing happens.

  • A. The magnet feels a force due to the coil.
  • B. A current flows from A to B.
  • C. A current flows from B to A.
  • D. Nothing happens.

Explanation

If the magnet is brought near the coil, the field associated with the coil changes and hence the magnetic field changes. This change in magnetic flux induces current in the coil. This can be done by bringing magnet to the coil, or bringing coil to the magnet. However in the case mentioned there is no change in motion or flux thus nothing happens.
