1 - Lenz's Law

1. These are loops being put into or pulled out of a magnetic field. Lenz's law says that the current induced
flows in a direction so as to oppose the change in flux. So if flux goes away, you replace it, and if flux
increases, you oppose it. Remember, that CW (clockwise) current creates flux into the page inside a loop.
(Rt-hand rule for magnets and loops), and ACW (anti-clockwise) current creates flux out of the page inside
a loop.

2. The first two are loops where we change magnetic field. Lenz's law says that the current induced flows
in a direction so as to oppose the change in flux. So if flux decreases, you replace it, and if flux increases,
you oppose it. Remember, that CW current creates flux into the page. (Rt-hand rule for magnets and
loops), and ACW current creates flux out of the page. The second two have to do with the current induced
in a solenoid (or coil) flowing in such a way as to also oppose the motion of the magnet. (i.e. the work the
magnet does becomes electrical energy) So as the magnet approaches, the current will flow in the coil in
such a way as to make the coil a magnet that either repels an incoming magnet, or attracts a receding
magnet.

3. For the first two, the loops with no arrow are in the magnetic field of a wire, so use the wire right hand
rule to figure out the direction of that field. For the second two, current in the loop with no arrow is
responding to the B-field created by the arrowed loop. Inner and outer work pretty much the same way.
Lenz's law says that the current induced flows in a direction so as to oppose the change in flux. So if flux
goes away, you replace it, and if flux increases, you oppose it. Remember, that CW current creates flux
into the page, and ACW current creates flux out of the page.

4. These are moving conductor questions. Use the right hand rule for particles for the first two. (Figure out
the force on a positive charge riding the wire - Index finger in the direction it is moving, middle in the
direction of B, and thumb is the direction of the + end, or the direction + charge would move) For the
second two the bar slides, and the "u" shaped conductor is understood to remain stationary. For these, you
can use the same rule, or you can use increasing flux is opposed, and decreasing is replaced.
