Lenz's Law and Magnetic Force
A circular wire loop with a radius of 0.1 m lies in the xy-plane. A uniform magnetic field, initially 0.5 T and directed along the positive z-axis, passes through the loop. The field’s magnitude then decreases at a rate of 0.2 T/s. What is the direction of the magnetic force on the wire loop?
A
Clockwise around the loop when viewed from above
B
Counterclockwise around the loop when viewed from above
C
Radially inward toward the center of the loop
D
Radially outward from the center of the loop
