The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Mganetic field at the centre of the circular loop increases as it moves towards the current carrying wire as we know it varies inversely with the distance. Therefore, induced current in the loop should be such that it can reduce the increased magnetic field. This is possible only when the induced current is clockwise.

Lenz’s law

Lenz’s law states that the induced electromotive force with different polarities induces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in magnetic flux through the loop in order to ensure that original flux is maintained through the loop when current flows in it.

It depends on the principle of conservation of energy and Newton’s third law. To determine the direction of the induced current is most convenient method . Induced current states that he direction of an induced current is always such as to oppose the change in the circuit or the magnetic field that produces it.

Lenz’s Law Formula

The Lenz’s Law is reflected in the formula of Faraday’s law. Here the negative sign is contributed from Lenz’s law. The expression is –
