Questions  

Two circular, and similar coaxial loops carry equal currents in the same direction. If the loops are brought nearer, what will happen?

a
Current will increase in each loop.
b
Current will decrease in each loop.
c
Current will remain same in each loop.
d
Current will increase in one and decrease in the other.

detailed solution

Correct option is B

When the loops are brought nearer, magnetic flux linked with each loop increases. Thus the current will be induced in each loop in a direction opposite to its own current in order to oppose increase in magnetic flux. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. So, the current will decrease in each loop.
