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?

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
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.
