Chapter 32, Problem 4RAT
Where is the Sun located when you view a full Moon?
(a) Directly in back of you.
(b) Directly in front of you.
(c) To your right.
(d) The Sun could be anywhere.
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The correct option for the statement “Where is the Sun located when you view a Full Moon”.
Answer to Problem 4RAT
The correct option for the statement “Where is the Sun located when you view a full Moon” is an option (a).
Explanation of Solution
The Moon is the celestial body in the space that revolves around Earth. The Moon illuminates by reflecting the sun-rays falling on its surface. The visibility of the Moon as half Moon, full Moon, and no Moon depends on the position of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon.
When the Moon’s position is between the Sun and Earth, we can’t see any Moon as the part of the Moon that faces us is the dark one. After the seven days, the size of the Moon increases and it becomes half in the first quarter of the Moon cycles.
The full Moon is visible at the sunrise and sunset. If we want to see the full Moon, then our face should be in opposition to the Sun, that is, at sunrise, our face should be in the west, and at sunset, we should face the full Moon in the east direction.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “Where is the Sun located when you view a full Moon” is an option (a).

Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why.
