Question
Predict the direction of induced current in the situation described by the following figure.
Advertisements
Solution
Lenz's law specifies the direction of the induced current in a closed loop. Using Lenz’s rule, the direction of the induced current in the given situation can be predicted as follows:
As the current increases, the inner side of loop-1 becomes the south pole. Consequently, the loop's inside should Lenz claim that it will also turn into the south pole law.
The direction of the induced current is along yzxy.
