a long straight wire lies on a horizontal table and carries an ever-increasing current toward the north. two coils of wire lie flat on the table, one on either side of the wire. when viewed from above, the direction of the induced current in these coils is 60) a) counterclockwise in both coils. b) counterclockwise in the east coil and clockwise in the west coil. c) clockwise in the east coil and counterclockwise in the west coil. d) clockwise in both coils

Answer :

option C is correct.

Using the right-hand thumb rule, the direction of the magnetic field is out of the page for the top coil and the direction of the magnetic field is into the page for the bottom coil.

As the current is increasing, there will be an increase in flux and as a result, an induced magnetic field will be set up.

For top coil, as the flux out of the page is increasing, the induced field will be into the page to oppose the original flux, therefore, an induced current is clockwise.

For the bottom coil, the flux into the page is increasing so the induced field will be out of the page so the induced current is counterclockwise.

so, option C is correct.
