1. The figure shows a conducting loop of wire in the field of a magnet which is behind the loop. The South Pole of the magnet is facing the loop as shown. The North Pole is further behind and is not shown in the figure. I now lift the loop straight out of the page. Describe, with appropriate arrows drawn in the diagram, what happens while I am lifting the loop, and after I have stopped lifting.

**THE DIAGRAM IS A CIRCLE WITH A SQUARE IN IT STATING IT IS THE SOUTH POLE FACING ME ON THE PAGE.

It is very difficult for me to understand the picture. Remember Lenz's law says that current induced will be in such a direction to oppose the motion

When you lift the conducting loop straight out of the page, several things will happen due to the interaction between the magnetic field and the loop. To understand the direction of these effects, we can use the right-hand rule for electromagnetism.

1. While lifting the loop: As you start lifting the loop, an electric current will be induced in the loop. According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the loop, which in turn creates an induced current. The direction of the induced current can be determined using Fleming's right-hand rule.

- Place your right hand near the loop such that your four fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field lines (from South to North).
- Curl your fingers in the direction of the loop's motion (out of the page).
- Your thumb will point in the direction of the induced current.

Therefore, as you lift the loop, the induced current will flow in a clockwise direction. You can represent this by drawing a circular arrow in the loop, indicating the flow of the induced current.

2. After stopping lifting: Once you stop lifting the loop and hold it still, the induced current will continue to flow momentarily. However, since there is no longer a changing magnetic field, the induction process will gradually stop, and the current will eventually cease.

You can represent this by drawing the induced current gradually decreasing until it comes to a complete stop. The arrow indicating the current flow can fade out or disappear to show that the induced current has ceased.

Remember, the direction of the induced current and its effects depend on the orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the loop, as shown in the figure.
