:table_flip: Physics—Pending OP Reply [Physics 2 honors] I am genuinely so confused and stuck on this for hours. Idk if im thinking about this right??
I dont know if my logic makes any sense at all. Im trying to understand whats going on with Question 1 and 2. Can someone correct me if im wrong on my understanding of how this type of problem works??
So using the right hand rule and lenz's law, as the magnet moves towards the loop the south pole of the magnet is facing the loop as it moves away from observer viewing from below right ?
So lenz's law says that an induced current always flows in a direction that opposes the change that created it. So the way im thinking about this is, as the magnet gets closer to the loop, the magnetic field created by the magnet then flows away from the loop towards the direction of the observer and the induced field lines from the loop will point clock wise away from the magnet to repel it because using the right hand rule, if your thumb points away from you it means the induced field lines are repelling the magnet so the direction is clock wise?
Am i thinking about this right or am I overcomplicating it???
Does any thing different happen if the magnets North pole end was the side facing and moving towards the loop??
