Answer:
Clockwise
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the direction of the current induced in the conducting bar moving in a constant magnetic field, you can apply the "right-hand rule." Here's how:
1. Place your right hand in the same direction as the magnetic field with your fingers extended.
2. Your thumb points in the direction of the bar's motion (in this case, to the left).
3. Your palm faces the direction of the current flow.
Given that the magnetic field direction is not provided, I’ll assume it's pointing out of the plane of the screen/page (towards you). In this case, as you follow the right-hand rule:
1. Point your fingers towards yourself, representing the magnetic field.
2. Place your thumb pointing to the left, representing the direction of the bar's motion.
3. Your palm should be facing down, which means the current direction is counterclockwise.
So, in this case, the direction of the induced current would be counterclockwise. If the magnetic field direction is reversed (into the plane), then the induced current would be clockwise.
