Counter Clockwise

I = 0

Answer explanation

1. Existing flux points out of page (towards south pole).
2. Flux is INCREASING out of the page as magnet gets closer.
3. New flux must oppose this and point INTO the page.
4. Using RHR #1, to have field pointing into page in loop center, current is CW.

A long, current carrying wire passes through a circular loop of wire. If the current is constant, what is the induced emf of the loop?

If the current is constant, the magnetic field is constant. If B and A are constant, flux is constant, therefore there is no induced current.

A long, current carrying wire passes through a circular loop of wire. If the current is INCREASES, what is the induced emf of the loop?

The generated B-field encircles the wire, just like the coil. Because it goes left on one side and right on the other, the flux ends up cancelling out. No flux means no induced current.
