Electromagnetic induction — practice question

As shown in Fig. 10.1, coils P and Q are positioned close together.
(a)[2]

The current in coil P is constant. An iron rod is inserted into coil P. Explain why, while the rod is moving, the voltmeter connected to coil Q gives a reading.

(b)[4]

The current in coil P is now varied as shown in Fig. 10.2. On Fig. 10.3, show how the reading of the voltmeter connected to coil Q changes with time for $t = 0$ to $t = t_2$.
