Q3.

A bar magnet is pushed with its N-pole first into a coil connected to a galvanometer. As the magnet approaches, in which direction does the induced current flow in the coil, and what is the nature of the force on the magnet?

Q4.

A conducting rod of length 0.5 m moves with a speed of 4 m/s perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of 0.2 T, with the rod, velocity, and field all mutually perpendicular. What is the motional EMF induced?
