Q56 / 58 · KVPY 2016 (SA) · Physics
The diagram below shows two circle loops of wire (A and B) centred on and perpendicular to the $\mathrm{x}$-axis, and oriented with their planes parallel to each other. The $y$-axis passes vertically through loop A (dashed line). There is a current $I_{B}$ in loop B as shown. Possible actions which we might perform on loop A are:

(i) Move A to the right along $x$ axis closer to $B$
(ii) Move A to the left along $x$ axis away from B
(iii) As viewed from above, rotate A clockwise about y axis
(iv) As viewed from above, rotate A anticlockwise about y axis
Which of these actions will induce a current in A only in the direction shown.

(i) Move A to the right along $x$ axis closer to $B$ (ii) Move A to the left along $x$ axis away from B (iii) As viewed from above, rotate A clockwise about y axis (iv) As viewed from above, rotate A anticlockwise about y axis Which of these actions will induce a current in A only in the direction shown.
- Correct answerAOnly (i)
- BOnly (ii)
- COnly (i) and (iv)
- DOnly (ii) and (iii)
Solution
According to Lenz's Law
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
