Explanation
Electromagnetic Induction and Rate of Flux Change
Steps:
- The ammeter reading indicates induced current from changing magnetic flux through the coil.
- Induced EMF (and current) magnitude depends on the rate of change of magnetic flux, per Faraday's law: EMF = -dΦ/dt.
- Flux change rate increases with faster magnet motion, larger field strength, or more coil turns.
- Evaluate options to find which boosts the flux change rate.
Why C is correct:
- Pushing the magnet faster increases the rate of flux change (dΦ/dt), directly increasing induced EMF and current per Faraday's law.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Opposite pole reverses flux direction, changing current sign but not magnitude.
- B: Pulling out decreases flux oppositely, likely reversing current without increasing size.
- D: Unwinding turns reduces coil's flux linkage (Φ = NBA), decreasing induced EMF.
Final answer: C
