Question
Using Lenz’s law, predict the direction of induced current in conducting rings 1 and 2 when the current in the wire is steadily decreasing.

Solution
Current in the wire is steadily decreasing, so the induced current in rings 1 and 2 will flow in such a way that it opposes the decrease of current
- ring 1 is clockwise
- ring 2 is anti-clockwise
