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, will the two loops briefly attract or repel each other as the current in loop 1 decays to zero? 
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. They attract each other.
B. They repel each other.
C. They neither attract nor repel each other.
D. One needs more information to answer.
