CHAPTER 8: ELECTROMAGNETISME 2. Diagram 6.1 and 6.2 show a bar magnet is pushed into a solenoid at a speed of 2 ms-1.

1. Diagram 6.1 and Diagram 6.2 show that a current is induced in a solenoid
when a bar magnet is moved in or out of the solenoid.

4. Diagram 4 shows a bar magnet is hung on a spring that

attached to a retort stand. The bar magnet is displaced
downwards and released so it can oscillate through a solenoid
which is connected to a centre-zero galvanometer.
