Question

The figure shows certain wire segments joined together to form a coplanar loop. The loop is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field in the direction going into the plane of the figure. The magnitude of the field increases with time. I1 and I2 are the currents in the segments ab and cd. Then, (A) I1>I2 (B)  I1 < I2 (C) I1 is in the direction ba and I2 is in the direction c d (D) I1 is in the direction a b and I2 is in the direction dc

According to Lenz’s law, current will be in anticlockwise sense as magnetic field is increasing into the plane of paper.

$I_{1} > I_{2}$

$I_{1} < I_{2}$

$I_{1}$ is in the direction ba and $I_{2}$ is in the direction $c d$

$I_{1}$ is in the direction $ab$ and $I_{2}$ is in the direction $d c$

I1​>I2​

I1​<I2​

I1​ is in the direction ba and I2​ is in the direction cd

I1​ is in the direction ab and I2​ is in the direction dc
