Homework Equations



Lenz Law / Right hand rules

The Attempt at a Solution



case 1: left to right? thumb in direction of B and curl fingers in I
case 2: Left to right? same as above, but extra RHR to determine direction of B.
case 3: not sur, would it even induce a current?
case 4:left to right - Lenz law

Shouldn't the direction for all of these be left to right?

I tried using Lenz Law on all of the above cases andd that's what I got
