Question:
An open circuit is made to move closer to a current carrying coil. Which of the following is true if the current in the coil is in clockwise direction if seen by an observer standing behind the open circuit, away from the coil?
Options:
Clockwise w.r.t. the observer
No EMF produced
Counter clockwise w.r.t. the observer
Current flows clockwise
Correct Answer:
Counter clockwise w.r.t. the observer
Explanation:
EMF is produced but no current flows through the open circuit. The direction of the EMF is given by the Lenz's Law.
