Assertion-Reasoning Based MCQ Answers

1. (3)

According to Faraday’s laws, the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy. This is in accordance with the law of conservation of energy. In pure resistance, the EMF is in with phase the current.

2. (1)

Lenz’s law is based on conservation of energy and induced EMF opposes the cause of it, i.e, change in magnetic field.

3. (1)

Since both the loops are identical and moving with the same speed in same magnetic field, same emf is induced in both the coils. But the induced current will be more in the copper loop as its resistance will be lesser as compared to that of aluminium loop.

4. (4)

Induced current will not be developed in a conductor if a conductor, if it is move in the direction parallel to magnetic field. It is because, in this case, the Lorentz force on free electrons in the conductor is zero. The induced EMF is produced only when the magnetic flux linked with the loop changes.

5. (2)

When a metallic conductor is moved in a magnetic field, magnetic flux is varied. It disturbs the free electrons of the metal and set up an induced EMF in it. As there are no free ends of the metal, it will be closed in itself so there will be induced current.

6. (3)

When the satellite moves in inclined plane with equitorial plane, the value of magnetic field will change both in magnitude and direction. Due to this, the magnetic flux through the satellite will change and hence induced currents will be produced in metal of the satellite. But no current will get induced if satellite orbits in the equitorial plane because the magnetic flux does not change through the metal of the satellite in this plane.

7. (1)

EMF is induced when there is change in magnetic flux.

8. (3)

Presence of magnetic flux can not produce current.

9. (3)

The mutual inductance in case of a medium of relative permeability is

M = (μ_oμ_rπN₁N₂r₂²) / l

10. (3)

Mutual inductance is the phenomenon according to which an opposing EMF produces flux in a coil as a result of change in current on magnetic flux linked with a neighbouring coil. But when two coils are inductively coupled in addition to induced EMF produced in each of two coils due to self induction.

11. (3)

The self inductance of a solenoid is given by L = μ_oμ_rn²Al

12. (3)

The manner in which the two coils are oriented, determines the coefficient of coupling between them

M = K√L₁L₂

When two coils are wound on each other, the coefficient of coupling is maximum and hence mutual inductance between the coil is maximum.

13. (1)

The inductance coils made of copper will have very small ohmic resistance. Due to change in magnetic flux a large induced current will be produced in such an inductance, which will offer appreciable opposition to the flow of current.

2. From the experimental observations for after arrived at a conclusion that an EMF is induced in a coil when magnetic flux through the coil changes with time. The change in magnetic flux induces EMF in coils C₁. It was this induced EMF which cost electric current to flow in coil C₁ and through the galvanometer.

When the tapping key K is pressed, the current enquiry C₂ (and the result in magnetic field) rises from zero to a maximum value in a short time. Consequently, the magnetic flux through the neighboring coil C₁ also increases. It is the change in magnetic flux through a point C₁ that produces an induced EMF in a coil C₁.

The SI unit of magnetic flux is weber. When the key is held pressed current in coil C₂ is constant. Therefore, there is no change in the magnetic flux through coil C₁ and the current in coil C₁ drops to zero. When the key is released, the current in C₂ and the resulting magnetic field decreases from the maximum value to zero in a short time.

This results in a decrease in magnetic flux through coil C₁ and hence again induces an electric current in coil C₁. The common point in all his observation is that the time rate of change in magnetic flux through a circuit induces EMF in it.

Faraday stated experimental observation in form of law called Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction which states that ‘the magnitude of induced EMF in a circuit is equal to time rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.

3. So far we have studied about the electric currents induced in well defined paths in conductor like circular loops. Even when bulk pieces of conductors are subjected to changing magnetic flux, induced currents are produced in the. However, their flow patterns resemble swirling eddies in water.

This effect was discovered by physicist Foucault (1819-1868) and these currents are called eddy currents. A copper plate is allowed to swing like a simple pendulum between the pole pieces of a strong magnet. It is found that the motion is damped and in a little while, the plate comes to a halt in the magnetic field.

We can explain this phenomenon on the basis of electromagnetic induction. Magnetic flux associated with the plate keeps on changing as the plate moves in and out of the region between magnetic poles. The flux change induces eddy currents in the plate. Directions of eddy currents are opposite when the plate swings into the region between the poles and when it swings out of the region.
