A magnet is moved toward a closed coil. According to Lenz's law, the induced current in the coil (as viewed from the magnet) flows in such a way that the coil's face presents:
AThe same pole as the approaching pole, to repel it
BThe coil splits into two equal poles
CThe opposite pole to attract the magnet faster
DNo current flows; Lenz's law doesn't apply
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. The same pole as the approaching pole, to repel it
Lenz: induced current opposes the cause (approach). To oppose, the coil face must repel the approaching pole — therefore it presents the **same pole** (e.g. N facing N).
