A circular loop of wire is m a spatially uniform magnetic fi
A circular loop of wire is m a spatially uniform magnetic field, as shown in The magnetic field is directed into the plane of the figure. Determine the direction of the induced current m the loop when B is increasing. Explain your reasoning for the result you have found m . Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right.
Solution
The reasoning is :
The magnetic field is into the page and is increasing, so the flux is increasing. The field of the induced current is out of the screen.To produce a field directed out of the screen, the induced current must be counterclockwise.
