Johanna Murray · Answer 1

Clockwise and counter clockwises, depands.

Explanation:

The direction of current in a loop of wire in a magnatic field depands on the direction in which the loop is moved and the applied magnatic field.

this is determined by what is called right hand rule.

I will give one scenario, let's say that the loop is moved upwards and the applied magnatic field is into the page (if you drew the loop in 2D on a piece of paper), in this case the direction would be clockwise.
