A200-loop coil of cross sectional area 8.5 cm2 lies in the plane of the paper. directed out of the plane of the paper is a magnetic field of 0.06 t. the field out of the paper decreases to 0.02 t in 12 milliseconds. what is the direction of the current induced?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns, N = 200

Area of cross section, A = 8.5 cm²

Magnetic field is directed out of the paper and is, B = 0.06 T

The magnetic field is  out of the paper decreases to 0.02 T in 12 milliseconds. We need to find the direction of current induced. The induced emf is given by :

Since,

I is the induced current

According to Lenz's law, the direction of induced current is such that it always opposes the change in current that causes it.

Here, the field is directed out of the plane of the paper, this gives the induced current in counterclockwise direction.
