Question: Two closed loops A and C are close to a long wire carrying a current I (Fig. E29.17). (a) Find the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise)

Two closed loops A and C are close to a long wire carrying a current I (Fig. E29.17).

(a) Find the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise) of the current induced in each loop if I is steadily decreasing.

(b) While I is decreasing, what is the direction of the net force that the wire exerts on each loop? Explain how you obtain your answer.
