Question

Compare: Turn on Show loop data. The current (I) in the loop is measured in amperes. Click Forward and observe both the current and the electric field.

How does the current change as the magnet approaches the loop?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

As the magnet approaches the loop, the current in the loop increases. This is due to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which states that a changing magnetic field induces a current in a conductor. The moving magnet creates a changing magnetic field, which in turn induces a current in the loop. This current causes an electric field to be generated in the loop.

Answer 2

How does the electric field change as the magnet approaches the loop?

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

As the magnet approaches the loop, the changing magnetic field induces a current in the loop, which in turn generates an electric field. The direction of the electric field depends on the direction of the current in the loop, as dictated by the right-hand rule. As the current increases in the loop, the electric field also increases in strength. The electric field will be strongest when the magnet is closest to the loop.
