A current from A to B is increasing in magnitude. What is the direction of induced current. If any,in the loop as shown in the figure?

A

straight line

B

anti-clockwise

C

clockwise

D

none of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
From Faraday's second law of electromagnetic inductor, the direction of the induced emf or current is such as to oppose the charge that produces it, this is also known as Lenz's law. Since, current is flowing from `A` to `B`, the direction of induced current in the loop will be clockwise.
