  2. B Loop will have induced current in the clockwise direction
  3. C There will be no induced current in the loop
  4. D the loop will be attracted by the wire
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Loop will have induced current in the anti-clockwise direction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Magnetic flux from the wire, into the page through the loop, increases. By Lenz's Law, induced current creates a magnetic field out of the page. Thus, the induced current is in the anti-clockwise direction.
