Complete Question

A loop of wire lies flat on the horizontal surface in an area with uniform magnetic field directed vertically up. The loop of wire suddenly contracts to half of its initial diameter. As viewed from above induced electric current in the loop is

a. counterclockwise

b. clockwise

c. there is no current in the loop because magnetic field is uniform

d. there is no current in the loop because magnetic field does not change

Option A is the correct answer

Explanation:

According to the question the loop of wire contracts to half it initial diameter and will mean that less number of electric field line will pass through the loop and this change in magnetic flux will cause current to flow in the loop of wire and from Lenz's law this current will in the opposite direction of what produced it which is the change in magnetic flux so the current will flow in a counterclockwise direction  

when heated, the valance electrons increased their speed and transferred the heat from electron to electron.   i just took the test.
