If the ends of a wire loop are attached to two half-circular metal strips, arranged so that the two strips almost form a complete circle, and those strips are contacted by two "brushes" which connect to opposite poles of a battery, what polarity of voltage will be measured as the loop is rotated counter-clockwise?

Solution

The correct option is A
Right Postive, Left Negative

As the loop is moving anticlockwise, using Fleming’s left-hand rule we can determine that the current in the loop of wire is flowing anticlockwise. Therefore the polarity must be
Right - Positive
Left - Negative
