A bar magnet is pushed north pole first into a solenoid that is part of a complete circuit. Which statement about the induced magnetic field or current is correct?

A

The induced current creates a magnetic field with a south pole at the end of the solenoid nearest to the magnet, to attract the incoming north pole.

B

The induced current creates a magnetic field with a north pole at the end of the solenoid nearest to the magnet, to repel the incoming north pole.

C

The direction of the induced current is always in the same direction as the motion of the magnet.

D

The magnitude of the induced current is independent of the speed at which the magnet is moved.
