What happens as you move the SOUTH side of the magnet INTO the coil?*
*Observe what is being measured, what is moving, what is happening? Use the checklist above to guide your answers.
1. The magnetic field lines from the magnet interact with the coil, inducing a current flow in the coil.
2. The current flow can be measured by a connected ammeter, showing the direction and strength of the induced current.
3. As the magnet moves into the coil, the magnetic field lines passing through the coil change, causing an electromagnetic induction process.
4. This induction process generates an electric current in the coil as a result of the changing magnetic field.
5. The movement of the magnet into the coil causes the flow of electrons in the wire, creating a temporary electromotive force (EMF) in the circuit.
Overall, as the SOUTH side of the magnet moves into the coil, it induces an electric current in the coil due to the changing magnetic field, leading to electromagnetic induction.
