When the north pole of a magnet is moved towards the center of a loop of wire containing a galvanometer, the needle of the galvanometer flicks to the right. What would also cause the needle on the galvanometer to move to the right?

Moving the magnet away from the center of the loop with its south pole facing the center of the loop.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction is due to a rapidly changing magnetic field, or loop area. The poles of the magnet induce current in the loop but in the opposite direction, depending on the direction of their relative motion. An approaching north pole will induce an anticlockwise current in the loop, while an approaching south pole will do the reverse. To get the galvanometer to flicker in the same direction as of that when the north pole was approaching, we move the magnet away from the center of the loop with its south pole facing the center of the loop.

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
