Asked by hoovan

When the north pole of a bar magnet is moved into a solenoid, the needle on a galvanometer attached to the solenoid moves to the left, indicating that a current is produced. The magnet is then pulled out at a faster speed.

What will be the result?

a larger current in the same direction
a larger current in the opposite direction
a smaller current in the same direction
a smaller current in the opposite direction

A larger current in the opposite direction.

Reason: By Lenz's law the induced current opposes the change in flux. Moving the north pole into the solenoid produced the leftward deflection; pulling the pole out reduces the flux so the induced current reverses to oppose that reduction. Pulling out faster increases |dΦ/dt|, so the induced emf and current are larger.
