PhysicsElectromagnetic Induction
Options:
  • A
    a direct current flows in the ammeter $\mathrm{A}$
  • B
    no current flows through the ammeter $A$
  • C
    an alternating sinusoidal current flows through the ammeter A with a time period $\mathrm{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{\omega}$
  • D
    a time varying non-sinusoidal current flows through the ammeter A.

The correct answer is:
no current flows through the ammeter $A$
Induced current flow only when circuit is complete and there is a variation about circuit this problem is associated with the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction.
If there is a symmetry in magnetic field of cylindrical bar magnet is rotated about its axis, no change in flux linked with the circuit takes place, consequently no emf induces and hence, no current flows in the ammeter (A).
