Physics Electromagnetic Induction Faraday's and Lenz's Law MCQ (Single Correct)

Three identical coils A, B, and C are placed coaxially with their planes parallel to each other. The coils A and C carry equal currents in opposite direction, as shown. If the coils B and C are fixed and the coil A is moved towards B with a uniform speed, then which of the following statements is correct?

A
there will be induced current in coil B which will be opposite to the direction of current in A.
B
there will be induced current in coil B in the same direction as in A.
C
there will be no induced current in B.
D
current induced by coils A and C in coil B will be equal and opposite, therefore net current in B will be zero.

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
A

As coils B and C are fixed, there is no induced current in B due to C. However, when A is moved toward B, an emf is induced in B, which would oppose the relative motion of A towards B. As current in A is clockwise, the induced current in B must be anticlockwise.
