Two identical concentric loops are arranged as shown in the diagram below. Loop 1 initially carries a steady current driven by the power supply shown. Suppose that when we turn off the power supply, it takes a small but finite time for the current to decay to zero in loop 1. In what direction does the current induced in loop 2 flow during this time interval?

A. Clockwise.
B. Counterclockwise.
C. No current flows in loop 2.
D. One needs more information to answer.


A. Clockwise.
