A circular loop of wire lies in the $x-y$ plane so that the axis of the loop lies along $z$ (Fig. $P 21.18$ ). A magnetic field of magnitude $B$ is parallel to the $z$ axis. This field is positive (i.e, along the $+z$ direction) and is the same everywhere within the area of the loop. If $B$ is decreasing with time, what is the direction of the induced current in the loop as viewed from above?

A circular loop of wire lying in the x-y plane carries a current that flows counterclockwise around the +z axis. What is the direction of the magnetic field at the center of the loop? In the +x direction. In the -x direction. In the +y direction. In the -y direction. In the +z direction. In the -z direction.
