The figure shows certain wire segments joined together to form a coplanar loop. The loop is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field in the direction going into the plane of the figure. The magnitude of the field increases with time, I 1 and I 2 are the currents in the segments ab and cd. Then,
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsD
The magnetic field 
passing from the closed loop is increasing. Therefore, from Lenz's law, induced current will produce upward magnetic field. Hence, induced current is anti-clockwise, i.e. I 1 is in the direction 
and I 2 is in the direction dc.
