Question

When a magnet is moved 'towards' a coil connected to a galvanometer, what is the initial observation on the galvanometer?
Options
A The needle remains at its zero position.
B The needle deflects away from its center position in one specific direction.
Correct Answer
C The needle oscillates rapidly without a clear direction.
D The needle deflects away from its center position in the opposite direction from when it moves away.
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 5 states, 'When the magnet shown below is moved 'towards' the coil, the pointer or needle of the Galvanometer... will deflect away from its centre position in one direction only.'

Hint

A change in magnetic flux causes current, which the galvanometer detects.
