Predict the direction of induced current in metal rings 1 and 2 when current I in the wire is steadily decreasing?

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.
It will be clockwise in ring 1 and anticlockwise in ring 2.

Consider a metal ring kept on top of a fixed solenoid (say on a carboard) (Figure). The centre of the ring coincides with the axis of the solenoid. If the current is suddenly switched on, the metal ring jumps up. Explain
A metallic ring of mass m and radius `l` (ring being horizontal) is falling under gravity in a region having a magnetic field. If z is the vertical direction, the z-component of magnetic field is Bz = Bo (1 + λz). If R is the resistance of the ring and if the ring falls with a velocity v, find the energy lost in the resistance. If the ring has reached a constant velocity, use the conservation of energy to determine v in terms of m, B, λ and acceleration due to gravity g.
