Question

Three identical coils $$C_1$$, $$C_2$$ and $$C_3$$ are closely placed such that they share a common axis. $$C_2$$ is exactly midway. $$C_1$$ carries current $$I$$ in anti-clockwise direction while $$C_3$$ carries current $$I$$ in clockwise direction. An induced current flows through $$C_2$$ will be in clockwise direction when

Accepted Answer

C. $$C_1$$ moves towards $$C_2$$ and $$C_3$$ moves away from $$C_2$$

Answer

A. $$C_1$$ and $$C_3$$ move with equal speeds away from $$C_2$$

Answer

B. $$C_1$$ moves away from $$C_2$$ and $$C_3$$ moves towards $$C_2$$

Answer

D. $$C_1$$ and $$C_3$$ move with equal speeds towards $$C_2$$
