A bar magnet with its south pole pointing down is
released from rest and falls through a wire coil, as
shown above. A resistor is connected across the
two ends of the coil. What current would be
produced in the coil, as observed by a person
directly above the coil?
(A) A clockwise current only
(B) A counterclockwise current only
(C) A current that is first clockwise and then
counterclockwise
(D) A current that is first counterclockwise and
then clockwise
(E) No current would be produced.
