Electromagnetic induction — practice question

A magnet is positioned close to a solenoid which is connected to a sensitive centre-zero ammeter. The magnet is then pushed in the direction of the solenoid.

  • Awhen the magnet is accelerating
  • Bwhen the magnet is moving at constant speed
  • Cwhen the magnet is decelerating
  • Dwhen the magnet is stationary
