In the given figure currnet from A to B in the straight wire is decreasing. The direction of induced current in the loop is

Options

A. clockwise
B. Anti-clockwise
C. first clockwise then anti-clockwise
D. none of these

Answer

A

Explanation

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.
