- clockwise
- anticlockwise
- zero
- variable
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Since, electron is moving from left to right, the flux linked with loop will first increase and then decrease as the electron passes by. Therefore, induced current $I$ in the loop will be first clockwise and then will move in anticlockwise direction as the electron passes by.

Concepts Used:
Electromagnetic Induction
Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-
- When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
- When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.
Formula:
The electromagnetic induction is mathematically represented as:-
e=N × d∅.dt
Where
- e = induced voltage
- N = number of turns in the coil
- Φ = Magnetic flux (This is the amount of magnetic field present on the surface)
- t = time
