Question

entering The direction of the induced magnetic field at the center of the circulating eddy current and the direction of the eddy currect are 1. along the direction of swing and clock wise 2. opposite to the direction of swing and clockwise 3. out of the plane and counter-clockwise 4. along the direction of swing and counter- clockwise 5. out of the plane and clockwise 6. along the rod toward the pivot point and counter-clockwise. 7. into the plane and clockwise 8. along the rod away from the pivot point and clockwise 9. into the plane and counter-clockwise. 10. opposite to the direction of swing and counter-clockwise

Explanation / Answer

Since, the magnetic field is pointing into the paper, the induced flux of the portion of the plate entering the magnetic region should be pointing out of the paper. Hence, by the right hand rule, the induced current is counter-clockwise.

answer will be 3rd option. (out of the plane and counter-clockwise)
