Homework Statement
Homework Equations
Faraday's and Lenz' law.
emf = -d(ф)/dt
The Attempt at a Solution
The current is increasing upwards during that time interval.
Thus, by Right-Hand-Rule, the magnetic field goes into the page at the loop.
Lenz' law says that the loop's induced emf will produce a magnetic field that opposes the field from the wire.
Thus a magnetic field in the opposite direction, out of page, would mean, by RHR, that the induced emf is counter-clockwise.
This is however not the answer. Which one of the above statements is flawed?
Thank you very much.
