# Inducing Current with Bar Magnet#

The figure below shows a bar magnet and a conducting ring interacting in various scenarios. For each scenario, state the direction of the induced current in the ring, observing from the side of the magnet.

## Part 1#

What direction is the induced current (as viewed from the magnet) in the ring in scenario $$\textrm{(a)}$$?

### Answer Section#

• Counterclockwise.

• Clockwise.

• No current is induced.

## Part 2#

What direction is the induced current (as viewed from the magnet) in the ring in scenario $$\textrm{(b)}$$?

### Answer Section#

• Counterclockwise.

• Clockwise

• No current is induced.

## Part 3#

What direction is the induced current (as viewed from the magnet) in the ring in scenario $$\textrm{(c)}$$?

### Answer Section#

• Counterclockwise.

• Clockwise.

• No current is induced.

## Part 4#

What direction is the induced current (as viewed from the magnet) in the ring in scenario $$\textrm{(d)}$$?

### Answer Section#

• Counterclockwise.

• Clockwise.

• No current is induced.

## Part 5#

What direction is the induced current (as viewed from the magnet) in the ring in scenario $$\textrm{(e)}$$?

### Answer Section#

• Counterclockwise.

• Clockwise.

• No current is induced.

## Part 6#

What direction is the induced current (as viewed from the magnet) in the ring in scenario $$\textrm{(f)}$$?

### Answer Section#

• Counterclockwise.
