Question

Two identical coaxial circular loops carry a current “I” each, circulating in the same direction. If the loops approach each other, what will you observe?

  1. The current in each increase
  2. The current in each decrease
  3. The current in each remains the same
  4. The current in one increases whereas that in the other decreases

hintHint:

The current in each loop will decrease as the flux rises in order to offset the rising flux.

The correct answer is: The current in each decrease


    When the two coaxial loops are circulating in the same direction and the loops approach each other the current in each decreases.
    • The induced current will be more when the loops arranged one after the other is directed in the same direction.
    • The overall flux connection grows as the two are positioned closer together.
    • By virtue of Lenz's law, a current will be generated in each loop that opposes the flux change. 
    • Thus, in the coaxial loops, they are directed in an anti-clockwise direction as the loops approach each other. 
    • As a result, the net current in each loop will decrease as the flux rises in order to offset the rising flux.
