Near a circular loop of conducting wire as shown in the figure an electron moves along a straight line. The direction of the induced current if any in the loop is

  1. A variable
  2. B clockwise
  3. C anticlockwise
  4. D zero
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) variable

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, electron is moving from left to right, the flux linked with loop will first increase and then decrease as the electron passes by. Therefore, induced current \(I\) in the loop will be first clockwise and then will move in anticlockwise direction as the electron passes by.
