Hi everyone.
At the moment I am doing motors and generators in physics, in particular Lenz's Law.
I understand most of the stuff, but I am really just stuck on 2 questions. If you could help me, I would really be appreciative (explanations, not just answers preferable).
Q1) A flexible metal loop is perpendicular to a magnetic field as shown. It is distorted to the shape shown in the other diagram. Is the direction of the induced current in the loop clockwise or anticlockwise?
X X X X X X <---circle inside there... then turns into an ellipse.
X X X X X X

Q2) In what direction, clockwise or anticlockwise, is the induced current in the loop of wire?
(circle) |
----------| current heading south, and increasing.

*note, the --- are space fillers*
Help MUCH appreciated!
Thanks again.
