A circular loop is placed near a current carrying conductor as shown in figure. Find the direction of induced current, if the current, in the wire is decreasing.

A

clockwise

B

anticlockwise

C

changing

D

nothing can be said

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
When the current in the wire AB decreases, the magenetic flux linked with the loop (whicc is out of the page) will decrease. Hence, the current induced in the loop must be anticlockwise to oppose the decrease in magnetic flux
