Question

Lenz's Law: A coil lies flat on a tabletop in a region where the magnetic field vector points straight up. The magnetic field vanishes suddenly. When viewed from above, what is the sense of the induced current in this coil as the field fades?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field is straight up. It is reducing . As per Lenz's law , direction of induced current is such that it opposes the reason which creates it . magnetic field in upper direction is reducing . So current will be such that magnetic field produced by it increases magnetic field in upper direction . In other words , induced current should create magnetic field in upward direction. It is possible when direction of induced current is  anti - clockwise,  when seen from above.
