Question: A loop of wire (loop 1) lies in a horizontal plane. A second loop (loop 2) of the same size is positioned above loop 1

A loop of wire (loop 1) lies in a horizontal plane. A second loop (loop 2) of the same size is positioned above loop 1 and is also oriented horizontally (Fig. P21.60). The current in loop 1 is constant and counterclockwise as viewed from above. If loop 2 falls toward loop 1, what is the direction of the induced current in loop 2?
