An induced current has no direction of its own. Explain, why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The induced e.m.f produced in a coil, always opposes the cause (i.e. change in magnetic flux) which produces it. So direction of induced e.m.f. depends on the change of magnetic flux and hence has no direction of its own.
