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. I1 and I2 are the currents in the segments ab and cd. Then,

(2009)

(a) I1>I2

(b) I1<I2

(c) I1 is in the direction ba and I2 is in the direction cd.

(d) I1 is in the direction ab and I2 is in the direction dc.

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 6. (d)

Solution:

  1. Cross magnetic field passing from the closed loop is increasing. Therefore, from Lenz’s law induced current will produce dot magnetic field. Hence, induced current is anti-clockwise.
