Q.Using Lenz's law, predict the direction of induced current in conducting rings 1 and 2 when current in the wire is steadily decreasing (the figure shows a long straight current-carrying wire with two coplanar conducting rings, labelled 1 and 2, placed near it — ring 1 to one side of the wire and ring 2 encircling/beside it — with the exact relative geometry only shown graphically in the source).
