JEE Advanced2009PhysicsElectromagnetic InductionActual
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 a b and c d . Then,
Options
- AI₁>I₂
- BI₁ < I₂
- CI₁ is in the direction ba and I₂ is in the direction c d
- DI₁ is in the direction a b and I₂ is in the direction d c
Correct answer
D. I₁ is in the direction a b and I₂ is in the direction d c
Step-by-step solution
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.
