If the magnetic field through a loop of wire is increasing, what is the direction of the induced current?
  1. Clockwise
  2. Counterclockwise
  3. No current induced
  4. Depends on the field strength

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the magnetic field through a loop of wire is increasing, what is the direction of the induced current?
  • Lenz's Law – Lenz's law states that the direction of induced current is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux through a loop.
  • Magnetic Flux – Magnetic flux is the product of the magnetic field and the area through which it passes, and changes in flux can induce current.
  • Induced Current Direction – The direction of induced current can be determined using the right-hand rule in conjunction with Lenz's law.
