There are two coils A and B. A current starts flowing in B as shown, when A is moved towards B and stops when A stops moving. The current in A is counterclockwise. B is kept stationary when A moves. We can infer that (a) there is a constant current in the clockwise direction in A. (b) there is a varying current in A. (c) there is no current in A. (d) there is a constant current in the counterclockwise direction in A.
(d) In A, there is a counterclockwise current that is constant.
A cylindrical bar magnet is rotated about its axis. A wire is connected from the axis and is made to touch the cylindrical surface through a contact. Then (a) a direct current flows in the ammeter A. (b) no current flows through the ammeter A. (c) an alternating sinusoidal current flows through the ammeter A with a time period T=2π/ω. (d) a time-varying non-sinusoidal current flows through the ammeter A.
(b) There is no current flowing through ammeter A.
