Evening,
I'm trying to work out the direction a loop of wire will rotate about an axis in an increasing magnetic field.
From what I understand by Lenz's law the induced current in the loop will create it's own magnetic field as to counteract the change in external magnetic field. I'm struggling by Fleming's left hand rule however to determine a direction of rotation.
I have attached an image, if somebody could clear this up this will definitely put me at rest.
Cheers
Dan
