Question

In this problem, you will use lenz's law to explore what happens when an electromagnet is activated a short distance from a wire loop. you will need to use the right-hand rule to find the direction of the induced current. figure 1 of 1 the figure shows a horizontal electromagnet and a wire loop to the right from it sharing the same axis. the electromagnet consists of an iron core and a coil around it. the winding of the coil is counterclockwise as seen from a point to the left of the electromagnet. the coil is connected with a wire going parallel to the core with a current source and a switch on it. the switch is open. the positive terminal of the current source is on its left side. consider the arrangement shown in (figure 1). part a when the switch is open, which of the following statements about the magnetic flux through the wire loop is true? assume that the direction of the vector area of the wire loop is to the right.

A) There is no magnetic flux through the wire loop.
B) There is a positive flux through the wire loop.
C) There is a negative flux through the wire loop.

Answer 1

The correct answer is Option A (There is no magnetic flux through the wire loop.)

Magnetic flux is generated when the direction of the vector area of the wire loop is to the right, but when the switch is closed, it will halt the movement of current, making the magnetic flux zero.
