Solution

The correct option is D

must be opposite to applied field


Step 1: Given data

Externally generated magnetic field through a certain conducting loop increases in magnitude.

Step 2: Explanation of the correct options

According to Lenz's law, induced emf in the circuit generates a magnetic field that opposes the change of the field. Induced emf tries to maintain the original flux associated with the circuit. Therefore the current may be increased or decreased in magnitude.

Hence, options A, C, and D are correct.

Step 3: Explanation for the incorrect option

As it is not necessary to always have an increase in the current.

Hence option B is incorrect.
