(c) The coil within a very sensitive moving coil ammeter can be damaged when the
ammeter is transported. The two ends of the coil are connected together when the
ammeter is transported. This reduces the movement of the coil and makes it less
likely to be damaged.
A student suggests that this is due to Faraday’s law and Lenz’s law.
Explain how these laws apply to this situation.
