A bar magnet is falling toward the center of a loop of wire,with the south pole oriented downwards. Viewed from the sameside of the loop as the magnet, as the south pole approaches theloop, what is the direction of the induced current? a. Clockwise b. Zero c. Counterclockwise d. Along the length of the magnet A bar magnet is falling toward the center of a loop of wire,with the south pole oriented downwards.

Along the length of the magnet
Explanation / Answer
Induced emf is developed to oppose the direction of motion. So, direction of induced current is counter clock wisedirection
