Question
CBSEENPH12037866

Predict the direction of induced current in the situations described by the following figs.(a) to(f).


 

Solution

(a) South pole develops at end q and the induced current should flow clockwise. Therefore, induced current in the coil flows from qr to pq. 

(b) Coil pq in this case would develop S-pole at q and coil XY would also develop S pole at X. Therefore, induced current in coil pq will be from q to p and induced current in the coil XY will be from Y to X. 

(c) North pole is moving away from the coil hence, induced current in the right loop will be along XYZ. 

(d) Induced current in the left loop will be along ZYX as seen from front. 

(e) Induced current in the right coil is from X to Y. 

(f) Since magnetic lines of force lie in the plane of the loop, no current is induced.
