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

Anti-clockwise

C

first clockwise then anti-clockwise

D

none of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
In this case loop is placed to the right of current carrying wire (not to the left as it appears, because if you move in the direction of current, loop lies to the right).

Now, the current is decreasing, therefore induced current in the loop is clockwise (S) as shown in figure.
