Question

Current is moving to the right through the wire shown below. A stationary wire loop is located at a position below the wire. Which of the following statements is accurate?

Which of the following is a true statement?

a) The loop is experiencing a clockwise-induced current. b) The loop is experiencing a counterclockwise-induced current. c) The loop is not experiencing an induced current, but moving the loop up or down will induce a current. d) The loop is not experiencing an induced current, but moving the loop left or right will induce a current.

Explanation / Answer

C & D are accurate as in both case velocity is perpendicular to the magnetic field produced by the current flowing through the wire.

Option C is true as magnetic field is produced due to moving charge. Charge placed in elwctric field will start moving and hence will produce magnetic field
