Conceptual Test 2E

A circular wire loop traveling to the right passes through a region of uniform magnetic field B. The field is into the page, and confined to the blue region in the diagram.

At the instant the loop is at the position shown above, what direction is the induced current in the loop?

Next question : F - Current induced in a loop leaving a magnetic field.

Previous question : D - Current induced in a loop entering a magnetic field.

List of conceptual questions for test 2.
