Question
Predict the direction of induced current in a metal ring when the ring is moved towards a straight conductor with constant speed v. The conductor is carrying current I in the direction shown in the figure.

Solution
Using Lenz’s law we can predict the direction of induced current in the ring. Induce current oppose the cause of increase of magnetic flux in moving towards the conductor. The direction of the induce current in the ring will be clockwise.
