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.

I_1

and

I_2

are the currents in the segments

a b

and

c d

. Then,

Correct answer: D. I_1 is in the direction a b and I_2 is in the direction d c

Cross magnetic field passing from the closed loop is increasing. Therefore, from Lenz's law induced current will product dot magnetic field. Hence, induced current is anticlockwise.
