Consider a metal ring kept (supported by a cardboard) on top of a fixed solenoid carrying a current $I$ as per the figure. The centre of the ring coincides with the axis of the solenoid. If the current in the solenoid is switched off,what will happen to the ring?

(N/A) When the current in the solenoid is switched off,the magnetic flux linked with the metal ring decreases.
According to Lenz's Law,the induced current in the ring will flow in such a direction as to oppose this decrease in magnetic flux.
This means the ring will develop a magnetic polarity that attracts it towards the solenoid.
Therefore,the ring will remain on the cardboard and will not move away.
