A rectangular loop of wire shown below is coplanar with a long wire carrying current I. The loop is pulled to the right as indicated. What are the directions of the induced current in the loop and the magnetic forces on the left and the right sides of the loop

A

Counterclockwise To the left To the right

B

Clockwise To the left To the right

C

Counterclockwise To the right To the left

D

Clockwise To the right To the left

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Flux is inward and it is decreasing as loop is going away from wire

`therefore` Direction of induced current is clockwise force on left side is in left and force on right side is in right.
