Problem

A bar magnet with its north (N) and south (S) poles as shown below is initially moving to the left, along the axis of, and away from a circular conducting loop. A current

I

is induced in the loop, with

a

the acceleration of the magnet due to this current. As seen from the magnet looking in the direction of the loop, [Figure: Shows bar magnet with S and N poles moving left away from circular loop] (a)

I

runs clockwise and

a

points to the left; (b)

I

runs counterclockwise and

a

points to the right; (c)

I

runs clockwise and

a

points to the right; (d)

I

runs counterclockwise and

a

points to the left.
