At time $t$, let the centre of the loop have coordinate $Y=d+vt$. With normal $+{\mathbf{e}}_x$, the magnetic flux isFaraday's law and Ohm's law therefore give a current of magnitudeThe original flux points into the plane and decreases in magnitude as the loop recedes. By Lenz's law, the induced current reinforces the into-plane field: it is clockwise when viewed from the $+x$ side.
