alleryYou push a magnet towards a coil. By Lenz's law the coil pushes the magnet:
ASideways
BDownwards
CAway from it
DTowards it
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Away from it
1. The induced current opposes the approaching magnet.
2. Its near face acts like the same pole as the magnet.
3. So the magnet is pushed away.
