1. A coil lies flat on a tabletop in a region where the magnetic field vector points
straight up. The magnetic field vanishes suddenly. When viewed from above,
what is the direction of the induced current in this coil as the field fades?
a.
Clockwise then counter-clockwise.
b.
Clockwise.
c.
Counter-clockwise then clockwise.
d.
Counter-clockwise.
e.
There is no current induced in the coil.
2. A circular metal ring is situated above a long straight wire, as shown in the figure.
The straight wire has a current flowing to the right, and the current is increasing in
time at a constant rate. Which statement is true?
a.
There is an induced current in the metal ring, flowing in a counter-clockwise
direction.
b. There is an induced current in the metal ring, flowing in a clockwise direction.
(Continued on the next page.)
c. There is no induced current in the metal ring because the current in the wire is
changing at a constant rate.
3. The figure shows a bar magnet moving vertically upward toward a horizontal coil.
The poles of the bar magnets are labeled X and Y. As the bar magnet approaches
the coil it induces an electric current in the direction indicated on the figure
(counter-clockwise as viewed from above). What are the correct polarities of the
magnet?
a.
X is a south pole, Y is a north pole.
b. Both X and Y are south poles.
c. X is a north pole, Y is a south pole.
d. Both X and Y are north poles.
