A vertical side view showing a horizontal circular conductive ring centered on a dashed vertical axis line. Above the ring, a rectangular bar magnet is positioned vertically along the same dashed axis, moving downward as indicated by a downward arrow labeled v. The lower half of the bar magnet is labeled N and the upper half is labeled S. A small curved arrow above the ring indicates the perspective 'Viewed from above'. No other labels, lines, text, or axes appear.
A bar magnet falling vertically through a stationary conducting ring.
A bar magnet is dropped vertically, north pole pointing downward, through a stationary horizontal conducting ring. As the magnet falls through the ring, an electric current is induced in the conductor. Which of the following statements correctly describes the direction of the induced current (as viewed from above) and provides the correct physical reasoning?
