Question

A current carrying solenoid is approaching a conducting loop as shown in the figure. The direction of induced current as observed by an observer on the other side of the loop will be (A) Anticlockwise (B) Clockwise (C) East (D) West

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The direction of current in the solenoid is anticlockwise as seen by observer. On displacing it towards the loop a current in the loop will be induced in a direction so as to oppose the approach of solenoid. Therefore the direction of induced current as observed by the observer will be clockwise. <img class="img-fluid question-image" alt="image" src="https://cdn.tardigrade.in/img/question/physics/f16f8b67b3958ffb82f1fb3a66c35a08-.png" />

Q. A current carrying solenoid is approaching a conducting loop as shown in the figure. The direction of induced current as observed by an observer on the other side of the loop will be

Anticlockwise

Clockwise

East

West

The direction of current in the solenoid is anticlockwise as seen by observer. On displacing it towards the loop a current in the loop will be induced in a direction so as to oppose the approach of solenoid. Therefore the direction of induced current as observed by the observer will be clockwise.
