Question

Referring to Figure \(23.57\)(a), what is the direction of the current induced in coil \(2\):

(a) If the current in coil \(1\) increases?

(b) If the current in coil \(1\) decreases?

(c) If the current in coil \(1\) is constant? Explicitly show how you follow the steps in the Problem-Solving Strategy for Lenz's Law.

Figure \(23.57\) (a) The coils lie in the same plane. (b) The wire is in the plane of the coil

Solution

Solution 3PE

a.) Since the resultant magnetic flux in the coil 2 due to coil 1 is into the plane of the coil, as current in the coil 1 increases, the induced current in the coil 2 will be to oppose the flux due to coil 1. Hence the direction of the induced current in the coil 2 will be
