A light copper ring is freely suspended by a light string. A bar magnet is held horizontally with its length along the axis of the ring. The magnet is moved towards the ring with its N pole facing the loop. What will happen to the ring and its position ? Explain.
Marking-scheme solution
Current is induced in the ring.
Reason — Due to electromagnetic induction.
The ring will be repelled.
Reason — As per Lenz's law, current is induced in the anticlockwise direction and the magnetic moment associated with this current has north polarity.
