Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a coil of wire connected to a circuit while a magnet is pushed towards it. Describe the behavior of the induced current and its direction when the magnetic field inside the coil increases.
💡 Hint: Think about which way the induced current needs to flow to counteract the incoming field.
If a coil experiences a decreasing magnetic field, what direction will the induced current flow, and why?
💡 Hint: Consider how the induced current compensates for the change.
