Explanation
Electromagnetic induction and rate of flux change
Steps:
- The ammeter reading indicates induced current from changing magnetic flux through the coil.
- Flux change depends on magnet speed, coil turns, and field strength.
- Original setup: slow magnet entry causes small positive current via Lenz's law opposing flux increase.
- To increase reading, increase rate of flux change without reversing direction.
Why C is correct:
- Faraday's law states induced EMF equals negative rate of flux change; faster speed increases dΦ/dt, boosting current magnitude.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Opposite pole reverses flux direction, producing negative current and opposite reading.
- B: Pulling out decreases flux, inducing current in opposite direction for negative reading.
- D: Fewer turns reduce flux linkage, decreasing induced EMF and current.
Final answer: C
