Question

A magnetic dipole is falling in a conducting metallic tube. Consider the induced current in an imaginary current loop when the magnet is moving away from the upper loop and when the magnet is moving toward the lower loop. Determine the directions of the induced currents Iabove and Ibelow in an imaginary loop shown in the figure, as viewed from above, when the loop is above the falling magnet and when the loop is below the falling magnet.

a. no current flow
b. Iabove = clockwise and Ibelow = clockwise
c. Iabove = counter-clockwise and Ibelow = clockwise
d. Iabove = counter-clockwise and Ibelow = counter-clockwise
e. Iabove = clockwise and Ibelow = counter-clockwise

Explanation / Answer

c. Iabove = counter-clockwise and Ibelow = clockwise
