When a bar magnet is pushed towards the coil, along its axis, as shown in the figure, the galvanometer pointer deflects towards X. When this magnet is pulled away from the coil, the galvanometer pointer
When a bar magnet is pushed towards the coil, along its axis, as shown in the figure, the galvanometer pointer deflects towards X. When this magnet is pulled away from the coil, the galvanometer pointer
Show Hint
- oscillates
- deflects towards X
- deflects towards X'
- does not deflect
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
When a magnet is moved towards a coil, it induces a current in the coil due to the change in magnetic flux, which causes the galvanometer needle to deflect. Similarly, when the magnet is moved away, the direction of the induced current changes, leading to the opposite deflection in the galvanometer. This results in oscillations as the magnet is pushed back and forth due to the alternating increase and decrease in the magnetic flux.
Thus, the galvanometer pointer oscillates.
