Figure shows a small bar magnet falling freely through a horizontal coil. Will there be any induced current in the coil ? If your answer is yes, find the direction of induced current.

Question

Figure shows a small bar magnet falling freely through a horizontal coil- Will there be any induced current in the coil - If your answer is yes- the direction of induced current-

When north pole of the magnet comes close to the coil as shown in the figure- magnetic flux through the coil increases- From Lenze-apos-s to oppose the incoming of the north pole induced current in the coil also has north pole at the centre of the-xA0-coil- Clearly the current in the coil is anticlockwise-
