Homework Statement
I have attached a picture that details the problem. This is my practice test and I have no clue what I am doing wrong. Essentially a loop of wire is moving in constant velocity into a magnetic field. The magnetic field lines are pointing into the page. The problem is asking which at which points is the loop's induced current flowing clockwise and counterclockwise. I do not need the answer for 14 and 15.
Homework Equations
Lenz Law
Right Hand Rule
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted to use right hand rule, where my thumb points in the direction of the current. I figured out that if you point your thumb in the counterclockwise direction current of B, it will give you an upward magnetic field inside the loop, which is exactly what I wanted. However, I cannot figure out why D is moving in the clockwise position because if I try the right hand rule, it will point inside the loop, the same direction as the magnetic field.
