A circular wire loop lies inside a region of space containing a magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field is out of the screen and parallel to the central axis of the loop. The magnitude of the magnetic field increases as a function of time. A circular loop oriented parallel to the plane of the screen lies inside a region containing magnetic field B. The field is directed out of the screen and is increasing. What is the direction of the induced current in the loop

clockwise

Explanation:

According to the law given by Lenz, known as the Lenz law, it is said that a current induced in the circuit which is due to the change in the magnetic field and is so directed so as to oppose the change in the flux and to apply a force in the opposite direction if the force.

Here, as the magnetic field is directed out of the screen, the current flows in the direction which is clockwise in the loop and it opposes the increasing magnetic field.

The clockwise induced current will produce magnetic field in to the screen.
