Question: Computerized jaw tracking, or electrognathography (EGN), is an important tool for diagnosing and treating temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) that affect a person's ability to bite effectively.

Computerized jaw tracking, or electrognathography (EGN), is an important tool for diagnosing and treating temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) that affect a person's ability to bite effectively. The first step in applying EGN is to attach a small permanent magnet to the patient's gum below the lower incisors. Then, as the jaw undergoes a biting motion, the resulting change in magnetic flux is picked up by wire coils placed on either side of the mouth, as shown in FIGURE 23-48. Suppose this person's jaw moves to her right and that the north pole of the permanent magnet also points to her right. From her point of view, is the induced current in the coil to 

(a) Her right and 

(b) Her left clockwise or counterclockwise? Explain.
