A permanent magnet is held directly below the center of a coil which is connected to a voltmeter. As you move the magnet closer towards the coil, the voltmeter reads negative. Which of the following statements is always true?
Moving the magnet farther away from the coil would produce a positive voltage reading instead.
Moving the magnet farther away from the coil would also produce a negative voltage reading.
The closer to the coil the magnet is held in place, the higher the magnitude of the voltage.
Turning the magnet clockwise about an axis perpendicular to the paper (such that "North" would increasingly point right) would produce a negative voltage readout.
Twisting the magnet clockwise about its long axis would produce a positive voltage readout.
Moving the magnet to the right would produce a negative voltage readout.
If you had turned the magnet around so that "South" would be on top, then moving it closer towards the coil would still produce a negative voltage readout.
