Question

The direction of induced current in the right loop in the situation shown by the given figure is then

• A. along the common axis
• B. along xzy
• C. along xyz
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is C along xyz

According to the Lenz law, the current induced in the other coil will be such that it opposes the cause by which it is produced. The current in the first coil is in clockwise direction. Therefore, the current induced in second coil will be anti-clockwise direction.

So, current will be in direction $xyz$.
