Problem

Two long, frictionless, horizontal rails are 0.50 m0.50\,\text{m} apart and lie in a region of uniform magnetic field directed vertically upward. A light conducting rod rests across the rails and is pulled steadily to the right, so that the area of the rectangular loop formed with the rails increases. As seen from above, what is the direction of the induced current in the loop? (a) Anticlockwise (b) Direction cannot be determined with the given data (c) Clockwise (d) No current is induced
