5.

The magnetic field oriented into the page has an initial field strength of 5 Tesla into the page. It changes to 2 Tesla into the page. What is the direction of the induced current?

a)

Clockwise

b)

Counterclockwise

6.

A conductive loop moves downward into the magnetic field as shown in the diagram. Which way will the induced current flow in the conductive loop?

a)

Clockwise

b)

Counterclockwise

7.

Can you produce current in a wire with a magnet that is sitting still?

a)

Yes; having a magnet near a wire is enough to excite the electrons

b)

No; the magnetic field has to be changing to excite the electrons

c)

No; magnets cannot create electricity
