Question

A square loop of wire lies in the plane of the paper. A decreasing magnetic field is directed into the page. The induced current in the loop is:

• A. clockwise
• B. Anticlockwise
• C. zero
• D. depends upon the rate at which the field is changing

Answer 1

The correct option is A

clockwise

Step 1: Explanation of the correct option

• A square loop of wire lies in the plane of the paper and a decreasing magnetic field is directed into the page.
• Then the induced current in the loop is clockwise direction.

Step 3: Final answer

The induced current in the loop is clockwise. Thus option(a) is correct.
