A circular loop of wire of area 25 cm² lies in the plane of the paper. An decreasing magnetic field B is coming out of the paper. What is the direction of the induced current in the loop?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Lenz's Law, the induced current will flow in a direction that opposes the change in magnetic flux. Since the magnetic field is decreasing and coming out of the paper, the induced current will be counterclockwise to try to maintain the magnetic field coming out of the paper.
