If a magnetic field is pointing away from you and increasing, which direction is the induced electric field?

Homework Answers

Answer #1

According to lenz law the induced magnetic field should oppose the cause causing it that is the induce magnetic field should try to decreases the initial increasing field.

for this to happen the induce field should be in direction opposite to the increasing field that is the direction of induced field is toward the observer, for the direction of field to be towards you the current of better to say induced current should be anti -clockwise .

Now as we already know the direction of electric field is in the direction of current

our induce electric field should also point in the direction of induced current

therefore the direction of induced field is also anticlockwise..
