Question

The given figure shows planar loops of different shapes moving out of or into a region of a magnetic field, which is directed normal to the plane of the loop away from the reader. Then the direction of induced current in each loop using Lenz's law will be

a). The magnetic flux through the rectangular loop abcd increases, due to the motion of the loop into the region of magnetic field. The induced current must flow along the path bcdab so that it opposes the increasing flux.

b) Due to the outward motion, magnetic flux through the triangular loop abc decreases due to which the induced current flows along bacb,
so as to oppose the change in flux.

c) As the magnetic flux decreases, due to motion of the irregular shaped loop abcd out of the region of magnetic field, the induced current flows
along cdabc, so as to oppose change in flux.

Note that there are no induced current as long as the loops are completely inside or outside the region of the magnetic field.
The correct statements are

• A. a,b
• B. a,c
• C. b,c
• D. a,b,c

Answer 1

The correct option is D a,b,c

If the area of magnetic field line passing through the shape increases than flux increases. Also, current will flow such

that it oppses the change in flux.
