The figure shows certain wire segments joined together to form a coplanar loop. The loop is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field in the direction going into the plane of the figure. The magnitude of the field increases with time. $\mathrm{I}_1$ and $\mathrm{I}_2$ are the currents in the segments ab and cd. Then,
Select the correct option:
A
$\mathrm{I}_1>\mathrm{I}_2$
B
$\mathrm{I}_1<\mathrm{I}_2$
C
$\mathrm{I}_1$ is in the direction ba and $\mathrm{I}_2$ is in the direction cd
D
$\mathrm{I}_1$ is in the direction ab and $\mathrm{I}_2$ is in the direction dc

Solution
According to Lenz’s law, current will be in anticlockwise sense as magnetic field is increasing into the
plane of paper.
