Question : 1
Total: 9
A conducting loop is held above a current carrying wire 'PQ' as shown in the figure. Depict the direction of the current induced in the loop when the current in the wire PQ is constantly increasing.
Solution:
The magnetic field due to the wire in the coil in going into the paper. So, according to Lenz's Law, if magnetic field going inside is increasing as the current is increasing, the direction current in the loop should be such that the magnetic field into the paper decreases. Therefore, the current should be in anti-clockwise direction.
