Two students are conducting an experiment where they pass a bar magnet through a
coil of wire as seen in the diagram below.
Direction of magnet motion
They recorded the results of their experiment in the table below:
Motion of the magnet
Recorded current in wire
coil
moving to the right into the coil
-0.03 Amps
sitting still inside the coil
0.00 Amps
moving to the left out of the coil
0.03 Amps
What conclusion can you draw from the data presented?
