Consider two identical circular loops of radius a, separated by a distance a, with the second (right hand) coil rotated slightly clockwise relative to the first when looking from above as shown in figure (a)
A large current is suddenly injected into the left hand loop. What happen to the right hand loop?

When current is suddenly injected into the left loop, it creates a changing magnetic field. This induces a current in the right loop to oppose the change (Lenz's Law). The induced current creates its own magnetic field, interacting with the left loop's field.
The force between loops depends on current direction. Since the right loop is rotated, the induced current creates a torque. For a clockwise current injection in the left loop (viewed from above), the induced current in the right loop will be counterclockwise, causing repulsion (force right) and a clockwise torque due to its rotation.
Thus, the correct outcome is: Force to the right, torque rotates clockwise (in top view).
