Q.

Three identical coils C1, C2 and C3 are closely placed such that they share a common axis. C2 is exactly midway. C1 carries current I in anti-clockwise direction while C3 carries current I in clockwise direction. An induced current flows through C2 will be in clockwise direction when            [2026]

1 C1 moves towards C2 and C3 moves away from C2  
2 C1 moves away from C2 and C3 moves towards C2  
3 C1 and C3 move with equal speeds towards C2  
4 C1 and C3 move with equal speeds away from C2  

Ans.

(1)

Magnetic field through the coil is

B=(Bc2-Bc1)i^

ϕ=(Bc2-Bc1)A

ε=-dϕdt

Find the direction according to Lenz's law.

If the coil moves away, then the magnetic field decreases and vice versa.
