The drawing depicts a copper loop lying flat on a table (not shown) and connected to a battery via a closed switch. The current I in the loop generate the magnetic field lines shown in the drawing. The switch is then opened and the current goes to zero. There are also two smaller conducting loops A and B lying flat on the table, but not connected to batteries. Determine the direction of the induced current in
(a) Loop A and
(b) Loop B.
Specify the direction of each induced current to be clockwise or counterclockwise when viewed from above the table. Provide a reason for eachanswer.
