### Electromagnetic Induction: Determining the Induced Magnetic Field#### Problem Statement:The figure below shows a metal bar moving to the right along conducting rails in a uniform magnetic field (B-field) directed **out of the page**. Using Lenz's law, determine the direction of the induced magnetic field (B) in the closed loop defined by the bar and the rails.#### Explanation of the Diagram:- **B_out**: The uniform magnetic field directed out of the page is represented by the symbol for vector B with a circle and a dot in the middle.- **Metal Bar**: The figure includes a metal bar moving to the right, indicated by a red arrow labeled with velocity (v) pointing towards the right.- **Conducting Rails**: Two parallel horizontal conducting rails form a closed loop with the metal bar.- **External Circuit**: There is a resistor connected across the rails on the left side.#### Understanding Lenz's Law:Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced current (and hence the magnetic field) in a closed loop will be such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that caused it.1. **Magnetic Flux Change**: As the metal bar moves to the right, it cuts across the magnetic field lines directed out of the page. This motion changes the magnetic flux through the loop.2. **Induced Current**: According to Lenz's law, the induced current will flow in a direction that opposes this change in flux.3. **Direction of Induced Magnetic Field**: The purpose of the induced magnetic field is to oppose the increase in flux due to the bar's motion.Given the resistor’s orientation, the induced current will create a magnetic field that opposes the direction of the increasing external magnetic field (which is out of the page). Therefore, the induced magnetic field within the loop will be **into the page**.#### Answer Options:1. To the left2. To the right3. Out of the page4. Into the page (**selected**)In conclusion, the induced magnetic field in the closed loop defined by the bar and the rails, according to Lenz's law, is directed **into the page**.

Consider a conducting loop placed on a horizontal plane in a region of uniform vertical magnetic field directed downward. If the magnitude of the magnetic field begins to decrease, what will be the direction of the induced current in the loop, as viewed from above? O Counterclockwise, so that the magnetic field of the loop is downward. O Counterclockwise, so that the magnetic field of the loop is upward. O Clockwise, so that the magnetic field of the loop is upward. O There will be no induced current, so that the loop does not have a magnetic moment. O Clockwise, so that the magnetic field of the loop is downward.
A reasonably uniform magnetic field over a limited region of space can be produced with the Helmholtz coil, which consists of two parallel coils centered on the same axis.

You have a square loop with each side of length 'a' and a circular loop with radius 'a'. Both of these loops lie in the x-y-plane, where there is a uniform magnetic field B pointing at some angle 0 with respect to the positive z-direction. Each loop has the same number of coils and carries the same current, in the same direction. Therefore, the ratio of magnetic moments (u) in the loops, [square] / [circular] = O 1/ T O T 14 O 4/ T
