Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 331
Question: A current carrying solenoid is approaching a conducting loop as . The direction of induced current as observed by an observer on the other side of the loop will be
Options:
A) Anticlockwise
B) Clockwise
C) East
D) West
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The direction of current in the solenoid is anti-clockwise as seen by observer. On displacing it towards the loop a current in the loop will be induced in a direction so as to oppose the approach of solenoid. Therefore the direction of induced current as observed by the observer will be clockwise.
