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:
In accordance with Lenz's law, the left-hand loop experiences current flow in the opposite direction of the right-hand loop.
The direction of the induced current is along prqp.
