Question

In the diagram below, the long straight wire carries a current to the right and the current is increasing with time. This changing current produces an emf in the circular loop. What is the direction of the induced emf?

a. Clockwise b. Counterclockwise. c. We need to know the resistance of the loop

Answer #1

We know that the direction of induced emf is in such way that it opposes the cause i.e its direction is opposite to the direction of current by which it is produced. Thus from figure it is clear that horizontal current is directed in right direction therefore the direction of induced emf in circular coil will be in counter clockwise direction.
