SUMMARY
The induced current in the inner loop of a circular configuration with a diameter of 1.60 mm and a resistance of 1.10×10-2 Ω is calculated based on the changing current in the outer loop, which transitions from +1A to -1A over 0.08 seconds. The initial calculations yielded an induced current of 3590 nA, but the correct induced current is 4.79 nA. The discrepancy arises from the incorrect application of Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and the calculation of magnetic flux.
