5. In each of the two separate situations (a) and (b) below there is bar magnet in the vicinity of a solenoid which is attached to a galvanometer G. Indicate the direction of the deflection of the galvanometer's needle (left or right) while the magnet is moving in the direction shown. (Use Lenz's law to explain!)

Step 1
This means that the solenoid will try to create a north pole at its end closest to the magnet. ** Show more…

A bar magnet is positioned near a coil of wire, as shown in Figure P20.15. What is the direction of the current in the resistor when the magnet is moved (a) to the left and (b) to the right?
A bar magnet approaches a coil as shown. (a) In which direction does current flow through the galvanometer as the magnet approaches? (b) How does the magnitude of the current depend on the number of turns in the coil? (The resistance of the coil is negligible compared with the resistance of the galvanometer.) (c) How does the current depend on the speed of the magnet? (d) Would the experiment give similar results if the magnet remains stationary and the coil moves to the left instead? Explain.
If the deflection of the galvanometer is in the same direction at both the ends of the potential meter wire, then point out the statement which is definitely not the possible reason for the. (A) current flows is the same direction in both cases through the galvanometer. (B) Connecting wire in the galvanometer circuit is broken. (C) The positive terminals of all the cells are not connected at one point. (D) The potential difference between the ends of the wire is less than the emf of the cell which is to be measured.
