Problem
A horizontal circular conducting loop lies flat in the xy-plane with its area vector pointing in the +z direction. A uniform magnetic field directed along +z increases steadily in magnitude. When viewed from the +z side, will the induced current in the loop flow clockwise or counterclockwise? Briefly explain your reasoning in one or two sentences.
