Use Lenz’s law to determine the direction of induced current in the situation described by following figs.(i) A wire of irregular shape turning into a circular shape. (ii) A circular loop being deformed into a narrow straight wire. |

Answer» (i) For the given periphery the area of a circle is maximum. When a coil takes a circular shape, the magnetic flux linked with coil increases, so current induced in the coil will tend to decrease the flux and so will produce a magnetic field upward. As a result the current induced in the coil will flow anticlockwise i.e., along adcb. (ii) For given periphery the area of circle is maximum. When circular coil takes the shape of narrow straight wire, the magnetic flux linked with the coil decreases, so current induced in the coil will tend to oppose the decrease in magnetic flux; hence it will produce upward magnetic field, so current induced in the coil will flow anticlockwise i.e., along a′ b′ c′ b′. |
