at 3.00 × 105 m/s south through a magnetic field. Calculate the magnitude of the
magnetic field and determine its direction using the left-hand rule. Explain all finger
directions and the palm direction.

Answer: The motion of the magnet is Down causing the electrons to move clockwise. This

clockwise direction causes the pole on the conductor close to the magnet to be north and

the pole farther from the magnet to the south. For this all to happen the pole on the
magnet closest to the conductor would also be North and the pole on the other end of the

Answer: 1.) Increase the amount of times the wire is wrapped around the tube
2.) Decrease resistance in the circuit by using as more conductive wire or

shortening the length between the tube and the electrical source to

3.) Increase the voltage to effectively increase the current

Answer: The generator effect is the result of relative motion between the wire and the magnet so
as long as one or both components are in motion, the generator effect is happening.

Answer: They would repel each other. The magnetic fields surrounding each wire at the point
closest to the other wire’s field is moving in the same directions to one another. The field
o

of one wire is moving up and the field on another is moving up. Magnetic fields that are
aC s

the same repel each other and so the wires would separate.
