Q155 / 200 · JIPMER 2008 · Physics

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

  • A
    horizontal
  • B
    vertical
  • Correct answer
    C
    clockwise
  • D
    anticlockwise

Solution

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

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
