The current induced in the circular wire loop.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The current induced in the circular wire loop is zero.
Explanation of Solution
Definition of Lenz’s law:
“The changing magnetic flux linked to the closed
According to Lenz’s law,
Since the circular wire loop is held stationary with respect to the magnet, no current will be induced in it, as there is no change in magnetic flux.
Conclusion:
Hence, the current induced in the circular wire loop is zero.
