Would the direction of the induced current change if the current falls?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the behavior of induced current in coils, particularly when the current in the primary coil decreases. According to Lenz's law, the induced current will always oppose changes in the original current. If the switch is opened, the current falls to zero, which raises questions about the direction of the induced current. The need for a changing current to induce an electromotive force (emf) is emphasized, suggesting that the original scenario may lack clarity. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurate predictions of induced current behavior.

when a current in a coil induces a current in another that is in series with it. Would the direction of the induced current change if the current falls?

With Lenz's law the induced current would oppose the current of the first coil but what would happen to the induced current if the switch is opened? Does this change the direction of the induced current? Why? Please explain this.

To induce an emf, current must be changing. Your original scenario is not clear. You may be confused.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
