A long, vertical, straight wire carries a current going upwards. The wire is perpendicular to the plane of a circular metal loop and passes through the center of the loop. The loop is allowed to fall and maintains its orientation with respect to the straight wire while doing so. Will there be an induced current in the loop? If so, in what direction does the current induced in the loop flow?

In the sketch below, a long straight wire is in the plane of a rectangular conducting wire loop. The current in the straight wire is flowing upwards. At some point the current starts to increase in magnitude. This leads to an induced current in the wire loop. In which direction will the induced current in the wire loop be? Explain how you reached this conclusion. How would your answer be different if the wire loop was on the left side of the wire instead of the right side?
