The north pole is to the right

b)

The north pole is to the left

c)

The north pole is at the Top

The north pole is at the bottom

5.

A copper wire of insignificant resistance is placed in

the center of an air gap between two magnetic

poles, as shown in Figure . The field is

confined to the gap and has a strength of 1.9 T.

and magnitude) when the switch is

closed.

a)

0.62 N , UP

0.62 N , Down

c)

0.31 N, Up

d)

0.31 N, Down

6.

A wire is moved horizontally between the poles of

a magnet, as shown in Figure . What is the

direction of the induced current?

a)

Maximum current is induced because the

direction of the velocity is perpendicular to

the magnetic field.

b)

No current is induced because the

direction of the velocity is perpendicular perpendicular to

the magnetic field.

c)

No current is induced because the direction of the velocity is parallel to

the magnetic field.

d)

Maximum current is induced because the

direction of the velocity is parallel to

the magnetic field.

7.

A segment of a wire loop is moving

downward through the poles of a magnet,

as shown in Figure .

the Right along the path of the wire.

b)

The current direction is out-of-page to

the left along the path of the wire.
