Answer:
Correct Answer: 16. Yes, in the direction opposite to
Solution:
- Due to the current in
, a magnetic field is from right to left. When is moved towards , magnetic lines passing through (from right to left) will increase, i.e. magnetic flux passing through will increase. Therefore, current will be induced in . The induced current will have such a direction that it gives a magnetic field opposite to that, passing through due to current in . Therefore, induced current in will be in opposite direction of current in .
