Question

The wire in the figure carries a current I that is decreasing with time at a constant rate. The wire and the three loops are all in the same plane. What is true about the currents induced in each of the three loops shown?

Loop A has counterclockwise current, loop B has no induced current, and loop C has clockwise current.

Loop A has clockwise current, loop B has no induced current, and loop C has counterclockwise current.

The currents are clockwise in all three loops. The currents are counterclockwise in all three loops.

Explanation / Answer

Loop A has clockwise current, loop B has no induced current, and loop C has counterclockwise current.
