The direction of induced current in the case lis

  • A. from a to b and from c to d
  • B. from a to b and from fto e
  • C. \) from b to a and from d to c
  • D. from b to a and from e to b

Step-by-step solution

According to Lenz's law, the induced current opposes the change in magnetic flux. In typical configurations (e.g., a moving conductor in a magnetic field), the current direction is such that it generates a magnetic field opposing the motion. This often results in current flowing from b to a and from d to c, as per the right-hand rule.
