Magnetic Flux - NEET Physics Questions
Question 1: moderate

Some magnetic flux is changed from a coil of resistance 10 ohm. As a result an induced
current is developed in it, which varies with time as shown in figure. The magnitude of
change in flux through the coil in webers is:

1. 2
2. 4
3. 6
4. 8
View Answer
Question 2: moderate

Two coils are at fixed locations. When coil 1 has no current and the current in coil 2 increases at the rate 15.0 A/s the emf in coil 1 in 25.0 mV, when coil 2 has no current and coil 1 has a current of 3.6 A, the flux linkage in coil 2 is:

1. 16 mWb
2. 10 mWb
3. 4.00 mWb
4. 6.00 mWb

Based on the problem in your editor, here is the solution in 3 lines without using the $ symbol:

  1. Find Mutual Inductance (M): M = Induced EMF / (rate of change of current) = 25.0 mV / 15.0 A/s = 1.667 mH.

  2. Calculate Flux Linkage: Flux = M × Current = 1.667 mH × 3.6 A = 6.00 mWb.

  3. Result: The flux linkage in coil 2 is 6.00 mWb (Option 4).

Question 3: easy

A flux of \(10^{-3}\text{ Wb}\) passes through a strip having an area \(A = 0.02\text{ m}^2\). The plane of the strip is at an angle of \(60^\circ\) to the direction of a uniform field \(B\). The value of \(B\) is:

1. \(0.1\text{ T}\)
2. \(0.058\text{ T}\)
3. \(4.0\text{ mT}\)
4. None of the above

The magnetic flux through the surface is given by \(\phi = B A \sin\theta\). Substituting \(\phi = 10^{-3}\text{ Wb}\), \(A = 0.02\text{ m}^2\), and \(\theta = 60^\circ\), we get \(B = \frac{10^{-3}}{0.02 \times \sin 60^\circ} \approx 0.058\text{ T}\).

Question 4: easy

Assertion (A): A changing magnetic flux induces an electric field.


Reason (R): An inductor always tends to keep the flux constant.


 

1. (1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
2. (2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
3. (3) (A) is true but (R) is false
4. (4) Both (A) and (R) are false
View Answer

Faraday's Law states a changing magnetic flux induces an electric field. Inductors oppose change in flux, but don't keep it constant. Hence, Assertion is true and Reason is false.

Question 5: easy

Assertion (A): Magnetic flux is a vector quantity.


Reason (R): Value of magnetic flux cannot be negative.


 

1. Both A & R are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
2. Both A & R are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
3. (A) is true but (R) is false
4. Both (A) and (R) are false
View Answer

Magnetic flux \(\phi = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A}\) is a scalar quantity (A is false). Also, \(\phi = BA cos\theta\) can be negative when \(cos\theta\) is negative, indicating direction relative to area normal (R is false). Both are false.
