Question
A very sensitive, centre-zero voltmeter is connected to the two terminals of a solenoid (long coil) as shown in the figure.As the S pole of a cylindrical magnet is being inserted slowly into the left-hand end of the solenoid, the pointer of the voltmeter deflects slightly to the right. State what is observed when the magnet is rapidly withdrawn from the same left-hand end of the solenoid.*1 pointGreater deflection of the pointer to the leftGreater deflection of the pointer to the rightLower deflection of the pointer to the leftLower deflection of the pointer to the right
Solution
When the magnet is rapidly withdrawn from the same left-hand end of the solenoid, there will be a greater deflection of the pointer to the left. This is because the rate of change of magnetic flux is greater when the magnet is withdrawn rapidly, which according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, induces a greater electromotive force (emf) and hence a greater current in the solenoid. The direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it, which is why the deflection is to the left (opposite direction to the initial deflection when the magnet was inserted).
