Electromagnetic effects — practice question

Fig. 7.1 illustrates a horizontal conducting wire XY positioned between two opposite magnetic poles. The wire XY makes a circuit with an ammeter.
(a)[1]

Explain why the ammeter reading is zero when wire XY is stationary.

(b)[3]

In Table 7.1, tick one box to show the direction in which wire XY moves and explain your answer.

(c(i))[1]

State what is seen on the ammeter when wire XY is moved in the opposite direction from part (b).

(c(ii))[1]

State what is observed on the ammeter when wire XY moves in the same direction as part (b), but faster.
