A long wire along the x axis is carrying a current increasing at a constant rate in the +x direction. A rectangular coil lies in the x-y plane in the 4th quadrant. In which direction is the induced magnetic field at the center of the rectangular coil?

a. in the –z direction b. There is no direction; the induced current in the coil is zero since the x axis and the coil are in the same plane. c. in the +z direction d. No direction can be found since the orientation of the rectangular coil is not given.
