Faraday’s Law  produces an induced current Lenz’s Law: Induced current is in a direction so as to produce a B opposing the change in magnetic flux,  B, that creates it (to conserve energy)

Group Problems 1.A long straight vertical wire has a 5A current flowing upwards. A small loop, 2mm x 2mm, lies 1m from the wire lying in a plane with the wire (with its normal perpendicular to that common plane). a)What is the B field at the loop? b)What is the magnetic flux through the loop? c)If at t = 0, the loop is moved from its initial position to a distance of 5m from the wire at t = 2s, without any change in its orientation, find the averaged induced emf in the loop during this time. d)If the loop has a 10 ohm resistance, what is the average induced current in the loop during this time? After this time, when the loop is at 5m from the wire?

Second Group Problem Suppose that in the circuit above the thick rod has a length of 20 cm and a resistance of 500 ohms and is free to move (without friction) along the track of thin wire (with ~0 resistance), completing a loop circuit. If there is a uniform 2 T B field everywhere into the page, and the rod is pulled to the right at a speed of 5 m/s a)Find the rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit. b)Find the induced current in the circuit and its direction through the rod.

Right is the mapping of the MEG signal used to generate the false color recording. Gradiometer with two coils that cancel out distant spatially constant B fields. Note the direction of the induced current flow in the two coils – do you see how it works?
