Question

Physics

In the figure, a conducting rod is shown moving to the right along U-shaped conducting rails. The apparatus is in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the figure. As viewed from above, in what direction does the induced current flow in the U-shaped apparatus? An induced current flows clockwise in the U-shaped apparatus. An induced current flows counterclockwise in the U-shaped apparatus. The direction of the induced current cannot be determined from the given information. An induced current does not flow in the U-shaped apparatus.

Explanation / Answer

induced current flows counterclockwise
