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:
The induced current in the right coil drives X to Y.
The direction of the induced current is along the xryx.
