A rectangular loop of wire with dimensions shown is coplanar with a long wire carrying current I. The distance between the wire and the left side of the loop is r. The loop is pulled to the right as indicated. What are the directions of the induced current in the loop and the magnetic forces on the left and right sides of the loop as the loop is pulled?

| Induced current | Force on left side | Force on right side |
| (a) Counterclockwise | To the left | To the left |
| (b) Counterclockwise | To the right | To the left |
| (c) Clockwise | To the right | To the left |
| (d) Clockwise | To the left | To the right |

Best answer
