In a straight conductor the constant current is flowing from left to right due to emf source. When source is switched off, then the direction of induced current ..........
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
According to Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current will be such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it. When the source is switched off, the current in the conductor decreases. To oppose this decrease, the induced current will flow in the same direction as the original current. Thus, the induced current will flow from left to right.
