Question
Suppose the downward-pointing vertical component of the magnetic field increases as a car drives over a loop detector. As viewed from above, is the induced current in the loop clockwise, counterclockwise, or zero?
Step 1
We have a car driving over a loop detector, and the downward-pointing vertical component of the magnetic field is increasing. This means that the magnetic field is getting stronger in the downward direction. Show more…

Suppose the downward vertical component of the magnetic field increases as a car drives over a loop detector. As viewed from above, is the induced current in the loop clockwise, counterclockwise, or zero?
A horizontal loop of wire has a magnetic field passing upward through the plane of the loop. If this magnetic field increases with time, is the direction of the induced current clockwise or counterclockwise (viewed from above) as predicted by Lenz's law? Explain.
A circular loop of wire is in a uniform magnetic field that is directed out of the plane of the figure. If the magnitude of the magnetic field is decreasing at a constant rate, what is the direction of the current induced in the loop, or is the induced current zero?
