Lenz Law - NEET Physics Questions
Question 1: easy

As shown in the figure, a magnet is moved with a fast speed towards a coil at rest. Due to this
induced electromotive force, induced current and induced charge in the coil is E, I and Q
respectively. If the speed of the magnet is doubled, the incorrect statement is

1. E increases
2. Q remains same
3. I increases
4. Q increases

Question 3: easy

A wire is bent to form the double loop shown in figure. There is a uniform magnetic field directed into the plane of the loop. If the magnitude of this field is decreasing, current will flow from :-

1. A to B and C to D
2. B to A and D to C
3. A to B and D to C
4. B to A and C to D
View Answer
Question 4: easy

A conducting wire frame is placed in a magnetic field which is directed into the paper. The magnetic field is increasing at a constant rate. The directions of induced current in wires AB and CD are :

1. B to A and D to C
2. A to B and C to D
3. A to B and D to C
4. B to A and C to D
View Answer

in a circuit consisting of two loops connected in series (like a figure-eight), the larger loop effectively dictates the direction of the current for the entire circuit.

Question 5: easy

A square coil ACDE with its plane vertical is released from rest in a horizontal uniform
magnetic field B of length 2L. The acceleration of the coil is :

1. less than g for all the time till the loop crosses the magnetic field completely
2. less than g when it enters the field and greater than g when it comes out of the field
3. g all the time
4. less than g when it enters and comes out of the field but equal to g when it is within the field
View Answer

The acceleration is less than 'g'Β when entering or leaving the field because the changing magnetic flux induces a current that creates an opposing upward force (Lenz's Law).

Once the coil is fully inside the uniform 2LΒ field, the flux is constant, the induced current drops to zero, and the coil falls freely with acceleration equal to g.

Question 6: easy

A vertical bar magnet is dropped from position on the axis of a fixed metallic coil as shown in fig – I. In fig. II the magnet is fixed and horizontal coil is dropped. The acceleration of the magnet and coil are a1 and a2 respectively then

1. a1 > g , a2 > g
2. a1 > g , a2 < g
3. a1 < g , a2 < g
4. a1 < g , a2 > g
View Answer

In both cases, relative motion between the magnet and the coil induces a current that creates a magnetic force opposing the motion (Lenz's Law). This upward retarding force reduces the downward acceleration below gravity ($g$), resulting in a_1 < g and a_2 < g.

Question 7: easy

Two identical coaxial circular loops carry a current i each circulating in the same direction. If the loops approach each other

1. the current in each will decrease
2. the current in each will increase
3. the current in each will remain the same
4. the current in one will increase and in other will decrease
View Answer

When two loops with current in the same direction approach each other, the magnetic flux through each loop increases. According to Lenz's Law, an induced current will arise to oppose this change, causing the current in both loops to decrease.
