Question

Five loops are formed of copper wire of the same cross - sectional area. Loops 1-4 are identical; loop 5 has the same height as the others but is longer. At the instant shown, all the loops are moving at the same speed in the directions indicated. There is a uniform magnetic field pointing out of the page in Region I; in Region II there is no magnetic field. Ignore any interactions between the loops. 1. Through which loop, if any, is the magnetic flux changing? Explain. 2. For each loop that an induced current, determine whether the induced current is clockwise or counterclockwise around the loop. Clearly indicate your answers on the diagram at right. Expalin how you can use Faraday's law to support your answers.

Explanation / Answer

here,

1.

as seen from the figure

the flux is changing in loop 1 , loop 4 and loop 5

2.

for the loops where the change in flux is observed ,

there is also induced current

for loop 1,

as the flux is decreasing

by Lenz's law

the induced magnetic feild must be in the same direction of B

using right hand thumb rule

the induced current is anti clockwise

for loop 4,

as the flux is increasing

by Lenz's law

the induced magnetic feild must be in the opposite direction of B

using right hand thumb rule

the induced current is clockwise

for loop 5,

as the flux is increasing

by Lenz's law

the induced magnetic feild must be in the opposite direction of B

using right hand thumb rule

the induced current is clockwise
