  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 10-year-old child is asked to walk around a closed loop in a magnetic field to generate an electric current. What is the direction of the induced current in the loop?

    • A) Clockwise
    • B) Anti-clockwise
    • C) The direction depends on the orientation of the loop
    • D) There is no induced current

    Answer: Anti-clockwise

    Explanation: According to Lenz's law, the current flows in a direction such that the magnetic field opposes the change in flux.
