The north pole of a long horizontal bar magnet is being brought towards closed circuit consisting of a coil. The direction of induced current produced in it is

  1. A anticlockwise
  2. B horizontal
  3. C vertical
  4. D clockwise
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) anticlockwise

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the Lenz's law, the induced current is such that it opposes the change in flux which causes it. Hence the induced produces a field which opposes the field due to the magnet. For this it should flow in anticlockwise direction.
