Options:
  • A Induced current - Counterclockwise, Force on left side - To the left, Force on right side - To the right
  • B Induced current - Clockwise, Force on left side - To the left, Force on right side - To the right
  • C Induced current - Counterclockwise, Force on left side - To the right, Force on right side - To the left
  • D Induced current - Clockwise, Force on left side - To the right, Force on right side - To the left

The correct answer is: Induced current - Clockwise, Force on left side - To the left, Force on right side - To the right
Flux is inward and it is decreasing as loop is going away from wire


$\therefore$ direction of induced current is clockwise

Force on left side is in left and force on right side is in right.
