Question

A bar magnet is held above a circular loop of wire as shown in the figure (Figure 1). The plane of the loop is perpendicular to the page. Find the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise, as viewed from below the loop) of the current induced in this loop if the loop is dropped. The current induced in the loop is clockwise. The current induced in the loop is counterclockwise. The current induced induced in the loop is zero. Find the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise, as viewed from below the loop) of the current induced in this loop if the magnet is dropped. The current induced in the loop is clockwise. The current induced in the loop is counterclockwise. The current induced in the loop is zero. Find the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise, as viewed from below the loop) of the current induced in this loop if both the loop and magnet are dropped at the same instant. The current induced in the loop is clockwise. The current induced in the loop is counterclockwise. The current induced in the loop is zero.

Explanation / Answer

a)
option a The direction of the induced current in this loop if the loopis dropped is clockwise.
--------------------------------------------------- b)
option is b The direction of the induced current in the loop if the magnetis dropped is counterclockwise.
----------------------------------------------------- c)
option is c If both magnet and loop are dropped at the same instanat thenthe induced current in the loop is zero.
