Homework Statement
Determine the polarity of the induced voltages in L1 and L2.
[PLAIN]http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/730/31761140.jpg
According to the dot convention rule, when current enters the dotted terminal of a coil,the polarity of the voltage it induces in the other coil is positive at its dotted terminal.
And vice-versa, when current leaves the dotted terminal of a coil, the polarity of the voltage it induces in the other coil is negative at its dotted terminal.
The answer states that the mutually induced voltage in L1 is negative and that in L2 it is positive.

The Attempt at a Solution
It seems a very simple question but I can't arrive to any other answer other than both mutually induced voltages being negative.
I've searched extensively to try and figure out where my misunderstanding lies, but no luck.
All help appreciated!
