A coil lies flat on a level tabletop in a region where the magnetic field vector points straight down. The magnetic field suddenly decreases. When viewed from above, what is the direction of the induced current in this coil as the field decreases? A) Counterclockwise B) Clockwise C) Clockwise initially, then counterclockwise before stopping D) There is no induced current in this coil
