Question

As shown in the figure, P and Q are two coaxial conducting loops separated by some distance. When the switch S is closed, a clockwise current I subscript P end subscript flows in P (as seen by E) and an induced current I subscript Q subscript 1 end subscript end subscript flows in Q. The switch remains closed for a long time. When S is opened, a current I subscript Q subscript 2 end subscript end subscript flows in Q. Then the directions of I subscript Q subscript 1 end subscript end subscript and I subscript Q subscript 2 end subscript end subscript (as seen by E) are

  1. Respectively clockwise and anticlockwise    
  2. Both clockwise    
  3. Both anticlockwise    
  4. Respectively anticlockwise and clockwise    

The correct answer is: Respectively anticlockwise and clockwise


    When switch S is closed magnetic field lines passing through Q increases in the direction from right to left. So, according to Lenz’s law induced current in Q i.e. I subscript Q subscript 1 end subscript end subscript will flow in such a direction so that the magnetic field lines due to I subscript Q subscript 2 end subscript end subscriptpasses from left to right through Q. This is possible when I subscript Q subscript 1 end subscript end subscript flows in anticlockwise direction as seen by E. Opposite is the case when switch S is opened i.e. I subscript Q subscript 2 end subscript end subscriptwill be clockwise as seen by E.
