Lenz law problem wire and expanding loop
The loop has current radius R the red bar moves at velocity V. The distance the wire is from the loop is d and the top of the loop is length l Find the induced emf and the direction of the current in the loop.
\Phi_{B}=\oint\textit{B} \bullet\textit{dA}
ε=-\frac{d\Phi_{B}}{dt}=\oint\vec{E}\bulletd\vec{l}
The wire causes a b field into the page inside the loop and v moving down means the flux is getting larger so the induced current will be counter clockwise to make a b field going out of the page to counter the expanding area.
I know that the b field from the left part of the loop to the right decreases.
I am trying to find out which way to integrate for flux because if the bar was not moving down flux would need to be integrated like this
since the b field from the left part of the loop to the right decreases cause it's distance is increasing from the wire creating the b field.
But since the bar is moving down how would you integrate to calculate flux?
