Question

This drawing shows two loops of wire, one connected to a battery and switch, and one unbroken. Originally, there is no current flowing in this circuit. Then the switch is closed so that current starts to flow clockwise in the outer loop. What happens in the inner loop well after the switch is closed?
A. Current flows counterclockwise
B. Current flows clockwise
C. No current flows in the inner wire
D. The magnetic field from the outer coil points into
the page
E. The magnetic field from the outer coil points out of the page

The answer is E. Please tell me why in clear detail.

Explanation / Answer

this follows from FAradays law of em induction

which states that

the rate of change of magntic flus induces emf

thus

the relative motion of Magnetic field and Coil near it induces emf

induced current here = emf/Resistance

so here option E is correct
