Electromagnetic effects — practice question

The diagram represents wire XY moving upwards within a magnetic field. An induced current is produced in the wire. Because the current-carrying wire XY interacts with the magnetic field, it experiences a force. Which row shows the direction of the induced current and the direction of the force acting on wire XY?

  • Adirection of induced current: from X to Y; direction of the force: downwards
  • Bdirection of induced current: from X to Y; direction of the force: upwards
  • Cdirection of induced current: from Y to X; direction of the force: downwards
  • Ddirection of induced current: from Y to X; direction of the force: upwards
