Multiple choice

A coil of metal wire is kept stationary with its plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field directed along the positive x-axis. The current induced in the coil

  1. circulates in anti-clockwise direction when viewed from the x-axis

  2. circulates in clockwise direction when viewed from the x-axis

  3. is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field

  4. is zero

D Correct answer
Explanation

If the coil is not moved in a magnetic field, then the magnetic flux linked with the coil does not change. Hence, no emf or current is induced in the coil. Thus, the correct choice is (4).
