Question
What is the direction of induced currents in metal rings 1 and 2 when current I in the wire is increasing steadily?
Advertisements
Solution
Using Lenz's Law we can predict the direction of induced current in both the rings. Induced current opposes the cause of increasing of magnetic flux.
So, induced current will be clockwise in ring 1 and anticlockwise in ring 2.
