Near a circular loop of conducting wire as shown in the figure an electron moves along a straight line. The direction of the induced current if any in the loop is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
When an electron is moving from right to left, the flux linked with loop (which is out of the page) will first increase and then decrease as the electron passes by.
So the induced current 
in the loop will be first clockwise and will change direction (i.e. will become anticlockwise) as the electron passes by.
