Question
This experiment takes steady hands, a dime, and a strong magnet. After verifying that a dime is not attracted to the magnet, carefully balance the coin on its edge. (This will not work with other coins, because they require too much force to topple them.) Hold one pole of the magnet within a millimeter of the face of the dime, but do not make contact with it. Now very rapidly pull the magnet straight back away from the coin. Which way does the dime tip? Does the coin fall the same way most of the time? Explain what is going on in terms of Lenzs law.
Solution
The first step in solving 20 problem number 69 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: This experiment takes steady hands, a dime, and a strong magnet. After verifying that a dime is not attracted to the magnet, carefully balance the coin on its edge. (This will not work with other coins, because they require too much force to topple them.) Hold one pole of the magnet within a millimeter of the face of the dime, but do not make contact with it. Now very rapidly pull the magnet straight back away from the coin. Which way does the dime tip? Does the coin fall the same way most of the time? Explain what is going on in terms of Lenzs law.
