Question

A long, straight current carrying wire passes near (over the top of) a square wire loop. The current in the straight wire is directed to the right and its magnitude is decreasing. What is the direction of the magnetic flux through the loop, is the magnitude increasing or decreasing, what is the direction of the magnetic field produced by the induced current in the loop, what is the direction of the current induced in the loop, and if the induced current leads to a magnetic force what is the direction of this force - towards or away from the wire?

Explanation / Answer

direction of flux through the loop is inward.. into the page. magnitude of flux will decrease.. because magnetic field decreases with decrease in current which further leads to reduction in flux induced current Lenz's Law: "An induced current is always in such a direction as to oppose the motion or change causing it" therefore direction of induced current in loop is counter clockwise direction of magnetic field produced by loop is outwards.. out of the page direction of force will be towards from it please dont forget to rate my answer :)
