Induced Current in Stretched Square Loop: Flux Change and Direction?

AI Thread Summary
When a square loop is stretched into a rectangular or circular shape in a uniform magnetic field, the direction of the induced current depends on the change in magnetic flux through the loop. As the shape changes, the area of the loop alters, affecting the magnetic flux; if the area decreases, the flux decreases, and vice versa. According to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, an induced current will flow in a direction that opposes the change in flux, as described by Lenz's Law. Therefore, if the loop's area is increasing, the induced current will flow to oppose that increase, and if the area is decreasing, it will flow to oppose the decrease. Overall, induced current will occur during the transformation of the loop shape due to the change in magnetic flux.

when a square loop is stretched to make a rectangular or circular loop(wire length remain same) in uniform magnetic field into the plane of paper what could be the direction of induced current. please share explanation as well

Is the flux increasing or decreasing? Can you think of a law that describes the direction of current as flux changes?

the magnetic field is uniform.
How question is will there be any induced current while changing the share from square to rectangular or circular.

Thread 'Inducing EMF Through a Coil: Understanding Flux'
Thank you for reading my post. I can understand why a change in magnetic flux through a conducting surface would induce an emf, but how does this work when inducing an emf through a coil? How does the flux through the empty space between the wires have an effect on the electrons in the wire itself? In the image below is a coil with a magnetic field going through the space between the wires but not necessarily through the wires themselves. Thank you.
Thread 'Griffith, Electrodynamics, 4th Edition, Example 4.8. (Second part)'
I am reading the Griffith, Electrodynamics book, 4th edition, Example 4.8. I want to understand some issues more correctly. It's a little bit difficult to understand now. > Example 4.8. Suppose the entire region below the plane ##z=0## in Fig. 4.28 is filled with uniform linear dielectric material of susceptibility ##\chi_e##. Calculate the force on a point charge ##q## situated a distance ##d## above the origin. In the page 196, in the first paragraph, the author argues as follows ...
