Question 23 of 153

A coil is placed in a magnetic field B⃗\vec{B} as shown below :

A current is induced in the coil because
B⃗\vec{B} is :

Show answer and solution

Answer: (C) outward and decreasing with time

Lenz's law state that the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes its cause of generation, so,

B⃗\vec{B}, must not be parallel to the plane of coil for non-zero flux and according to Lenz's law if BB is outward it should be decreasing for anticlockwise induced current.
