(i)

  • As a bar magnet is pushed into the coil, a momentary deflection is observed in the galvanometer indicating the production of a momentary current in the coil.

(ii)

  • When the bar magnet is held stationary inside the coil, there is no deflection in galvanometer indicating that no current is produced in the coil.

(iii)

  • When the bar magnet is withdrawn (or pulled out) from the coil, the deflection of galvanometer is in opposite direction showing the production of an opposite current.
