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 south pole draws nearer, the current flows clockwise at the end of the solenoid that is nearest to the magnet.
The direction of the induced current is along qrpq.
