Solution

The correct option is A
north

We know that the direction of magnetic field around a current carrying conductor can be found by right-hand thumb rule. And we know that magnetic field due to each part of the wire will have a component in the centre of the loop that points in one direction.

As the field line is going into the loop at this part, this part will be the north pole.

Q. A horizontal circular loop carries a current that looks clockwise when viewed from above. It is replaced by an equivalent magnetic dipole consisting of a south pole S and a north pole N.

(a) The line SN should be along a diameter of the loop.
(b) The line SN should be perpendicular to the plane of the loop

(d) The north pole should be below the loop

If I keep the north pole of a bar magnet facing a conducting loop and move it towards the loop, I find a current flowing through it, let's say in the clockwise direction. If I want a current to flow in the counter clockwise direction using the same bar magnet, I should :
