A metal ring is placed near a solenoid, as shown in figure the direction of the induced current in the ring. At that instant the switch in the circuit containing the solenoid is thrown closed then the direction of the induced current in the ring is

Solution:

When current passed through the solenoid, the terminal close to the ring will have south pole. From lenz’s law the surface of ring. Which faces the solenoid also will have south pole, the means current induces in the ring in clock wise direction and the magnetic field directed from left to right by Right hand thumb rule.
