Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current 1 Question 6
####6. The figure shows certain wire segments joined together to form a coplanar loop. The loop is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field in the direction going into the plane of
the figure. The magnitude of the field increases with time. $I _1$ and $I _2$ are the currents in the segments $a b$ and $c d$. Then,
(2009)
(a) $I _1>I _2$
(b) $I _1<I _2$
(c) $I _1$ is in the direction $b a$ and $I _2$ is in the direction $c d$.
(d) $I _1$ is in the direction $a b$ and $I _2$ is in the direction $d c$.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 6. (d)
Solution:
- Cross $\otimes$ magnetic field passing from the closed loop is increasing. Therefore, from Lenz’s law induced current will produce dot $\odot$ magnetic field. Hence, induced current is anti-clockwise.
