NEET Physics Lenz's Law MCQ Question
Consider a scenario where a rectangular loop is moving into a region of uniform magnetic field directed normal to the plane of the loop and away from the reader. According to Lenz's Law, what will be the direction of the induced current in the loop?
Clockwise to oppose the increasing magnetic flux
Counterclockwise to support the increasing magnetic flux
Clockwise to support the increasing magnetic flux
Counterclockwise to oppose the increasing magnetic flux
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to Lenz's Law, the induced current will flow in such a direction that it opposes the change in magnetic flux. In this scenario, as the loop enters the magnetic field, the induced current flows clockwise to oppose the increasing flux.
