Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
When the north pole of a magnet is brought near a metallic ring, the induced current produced in the ring will be such that it opposes the growth of current in the ring. That's why by Lenz's law. there must be a magnetic north pole created in the ring so that it can repel the approaching north pole.
The direction of the induced current will be anticlockwise.
