Two circular loops of equal radii are placed coaxially at some separation. The first is cut and a battery is inserted in between to drive a current in it. The current changes slightly because of the variation in resistance with temperature. During this period, the two loops


By the right-hand screw rule, the magnetic field will be towards the left side. Due to the increase in resistance with temperature, the current through the loop will decrease with time. This change in current will induce the current in loop B. According to Lenz’s law, the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. So the direction of induced current in loop B will be in a clockwise direction. Because of the directions of currents, they will attract each other.


Thus, Option A is correct.
