Using Lenz's law, determine the direction of the current in resistor `ab` in Fig. 3.23 when

(a) switch `S` is opended after having been closed for several minutes.
(b) coil `B` is brought closer to coil `A` with the swich closed. ltbr. ( c) the resistance of `R` is decreased while the switch remains closed.

(a) When the switch is opened, the magnetic field to the right decreases. Therefore, the secound coil's induced current produces its own field to the right. That means the current must pass through the resister from point `a` to point `b`.
(b) If coil `B` is moved closer to coil `A`, more flux passes through it towards the right. Therefore, the induced current must produce its own magnetic field to the left to oppose the increased flux. that means the current must pass through the resister from point `b` to point `a`.
( c) If the variable resister `R` is decreased, then more current flows through coil `A`, and so a stronger magnetic field is produced, leading to more flux to the right through coil `B`. the induced current must produced its own magnetic field to the left to oppose the increased flux. That means the current must pass through the resister from point `b` to point `a`.

A circuit consists of a coil, a switch and a battery, all in series. The internal resistance of the battery is negligible compared with that of the coil. The switch is originally open. It is thrown closed, after a time interval Deltat . The current in the circuit reaches 80.0% of its final value. The switch then remains closed for a time interval much longer than Deltat . The wires connected to the terminals of the battery are then short circuited with another wire and removed from the battery, so that the current is uninterrupted.
