Question

Three loops of wire are located near a long straightcurrent-carrying wire. Indicate below the direction of the inducedcurrent in the specified loop, depending on the action describedrelating to the current in the wire or the motion of the loops.

for the picture please see this link http://www.cramster.com/answers-apr-10/physics/induced-current-wire-loop-loops-wire-located-long-straightcurrent_841340.aspx

1. If the current in the wire is constant, but Loop A is movingcloser towards the wire, the induced current in Loop A will be:
2. If the current in the wire is decreasing, the induced current inLoop A will be:
3. If the current in the wire is constant, but Loop C is moving tothe left, the induced current in Loop C will be:
4. If the current in the wire is constant, the induced current inLoop C will be:
5. If the current in the wire is decreasing, the induced current inLoop B will be:

all answers are either: clockwise, counter clockwise, or zero.
Help is much appreciated. Answer +explanation would be best. Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

1 clockwise ( flux through A increase , by lenz law clockwise current induced to counteract) 2 anticlockwise (flux through A decrease , by lenz law anticlockwise current induced to counteract) 3 zero (no change in flux) 4 zero (same as above) 5 anticlockwise (flux through A decrease , by lenz law anticlockwise current induced to counteract) kindly rate :)
