A loop of wire lies flat on the xy plane and has a magnet above it with the south side pointed down (i.e. magnetic field points up). The magnet moves in the -z direction towards the loop. If we looked at the loop of wire from above, what is the direction of the induced current? a) No current is induced b) Clockwise c) Counterclockwise
