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. I₁ and I₂ are the currents in the segments ab and cd. Then,

(a) I₁ > I₂ 

(b) I₁ > I₂ 

(c) I₁ is in the direction ba and I₂ is in the direction cd

(d) I₁ is the direction ab and I₂ is in the direction dc

Answer 1

Correct option: (d) I₁ is the direction ab and I₂ is in the direction dc

Explanation:

Since magnetic field increases with time So induced net flux should be outward i.e, current will flow from a to b.
