Question 35
H

A loudspeaker cone initially moves forwards when a current flows through its coil. The current is reversed and the permanent magnet is also reversed.

What is the direction of the force on the coil?

[1]
A

Backwards, because reversing both changes reverses the force direction.

B

Forwards, because reversing both changes leaves the force direction unchanged.

C

Zero, because the two reversals cancel the magnetic field completely.

D

Sideways, because the two reversals rotate the force through a right angle.
