Question
When a magnet is moved 'towards' a coil, what is the initial response of a galvanometer connected to the coil?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Page 5 clarifies: '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. When the magnet stops moving and is held stationary (...) the needle of the galvanometer returns back to zero as there is no physical movement of the magnetic field.'
Hint
The deflection occurs only when there is relative motion.
