Question

In shown fig, the circular loop of wire is moved with velocity towards the infinite current carrying wire. Then

• A. no current is induced in loop
• B. current is induced in loop clockwise
• C. current is induced in loop anticlockwise
• D. extra charges are induced on the wire loop

Hint:

The direction of the induced current is given by Lenz's law, which states it will oppose the change in magnetic flux.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding Induction.
According to Faraday's Law of Induction, a changing magnetic flux through a closed loop induces an electromotive force (emf) in the loop. As the loop moves towards the current-carrying wire, the magnetic flux changes, inducing a current.
Step 2: Determining the Direction of the Induced Current.
Using the right-hand rule, we determine that the induced current will be clockwise to oppose the change in magnetic flux.
Step 3: Conclusion.
The correct answer is (B), current is induced in the loop clockwise.
