A coil is placed in a magnetic field B → as shown below : A current is induced in the coil because B → is :
Options
- Aparallel to the plane of coil and increasing with time
- Boutward and increasing with time
- Coutward and decreasing with time
- Dparallel to the plane of coil and decreasing with time
Correct answer
C. outward and decreasing with time
Step-by-step solution
Lenz's law state that the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes its cause of generation, so, B → , must not be parallel to the plane of coil for non-zero flux and according to Lenz's law if B is outward it should be decreasing for anticlockwise induced current.
