SPM Physics:AHA! Induction Challenge: Ring Moves Away!

 


Why does the aluminium ring move away when a magnet approaches? The answer lies in electromagnetic induction and Lenz’s Law:

  1. Magnetic flux in the ring changes.

  2. An induced e.m.f. is produced.

  3. Induced current flows in the ring.

  4. According to Lenz’s Law, the current opposes the change in flux.

  5. A repulsive force is produced → the ring moves away.

Exam tip: even though the marking scheme lists 5 points, the maximum score is 3 marks.

AHA! Ring repels, law revealed. Not by sight, but by INSIGHT!
