When the magnet is moved, the magnetic field moves together with it.<\/li>\n When the magnet is moved towards and into the solenoid, the magnetic field lines cut the solenoid.<\/li>\n The galvanometer showed a positive reading when the magnet and solenoid were coming closer to each other. This shows that a current was produced in the solenoid in a certain direction.<\/li>\n When the magnet is moved out of the solenoid and away from it, the magnetic field lines again cut the solenoid.<\/li>\n The galvanometer showed a negative reading when the magnet and solenoid were moving further away from each other.
