The north pole of a bar magnet is pushed towards one face of a closed coil. What magnetic pole is induced on that face of the coil?
Correct answer C. A north pole, which repels the approaching magnet
Explanation
By Lenz's law the induced current opposes the motion. The near face becomes a north pole, repelling the approaching north pole, so work must be done to push the magnet in.
