A conducting loop is halfway into a magnetic field, as shown to the right. Suppose that the magnetic field begins to decrease rapidly in strength. What happens to the loop? a. The loop is pulled to the left, into the magnetic field. b. The loop is pushed to the right, out of the magnetic field. c. The loop is pushed upward, toward the top of the page. d. The loop is pushed downward, toward the bottom of the page. e. The tension in the wires increases but the loop does not move.

A conducting loop is halfway inside a magnetic field. Suppose the magnetic field begins to increase rapidly in strength. What happens to the loop? A. The loop is pulled to the left, into the magnetic field. B. The loop is pushed to the right, out of the magnetic field. C. The loop is pushed upward, out of the magnetic field. D. The tension in the wire increases but the loop does not move.

A current loop in the $x$ - $y$ plane carries a clockwise current. For each of the following magnetic fields, tell whether the loop will rotate, and if so, in what direction. (a) Magnetic field in $+x$ -direction; (b) magnetic field in $+y$ -direction; (c) magnetic field in $+z$ -direction.
