==== Project 12A: Manny's Recycling ====
Manny Hallabero is at it again! While it appears he took a couple weeks off, he is back to peppering the Lakeview City Council with questions about the new magnetic field surrounding Lakeview. You see, Manny is a dedicated recycling enthusiast and has been collecting discarded wire coils from the Hawkion Detector. Manny was planning a large transport of the coils, along with some spare magnets and power supplies, but he is now concerned. He has constructed a variety of scenarios (though some seem a bit outlandish) and asked the Lakeview City Council for answers. Given your expertise, the Lakeview City Council has asked you to analyze each situation to determine: 1) is there an induced current in the given wire coil and 2) if so, what direction is the induced current?

=== Learning Goals === 
  * Use Faraday's Law to determine if there is an induced current
  * Draw dA vectors and determine change in flux for a coil
  * Use the RHR to determine the direction of induced current
