Electromagnetic Induction

Question 21: easy

If a current is passed through a spring then the spring will:

1. expand
2. compress
3. remains same
4. none of these
View Answer

Current flows in the same direction in adjacent turns of the spring. Since parallel currents in the same direction attract each other, the turns of the spring are pulled closer, causing the spring to compress.

Question 22: easy

In a step up transformer, the voltage in the primary is \(220\text{ V}\) and the current is \(5\text{ A}\). The secondary voltage is found to be \(22000\text{ V}\). The current in the secondary coil (neglect losses) is:

1. \(5\text{ A}\)
2. \(50\text{ A}\)
3. \(500\text{ A}\)
4. \(0.05\text{ A}\)
View Answer

In an ideal transformer, input power equals output power: \(V_p I_p = V_s I_s\). Therefore, \(I_s = \frac{V_p I_p}{V_s} = \frac{220 \times 5}{22000} = 0.05\text{ A}\).

Question 23: easy

An aeroplane in which the distance between the tips of the wings is \(50\text{ m}\) is flying horizontally with a speed of \(360\text{ km/hr}\) over a place where the vertical component of earth’s magnetic field is \(2 \times 10^{-4}\text{ Wbm}^{-2}\). The potential difference between the tips of the wings would be:

1. \(0.1\text{ V}\)
2. \(1.0\text{ V}\)
3. \(0.2\text{ V}\)
4. \(0.01\text{ V}\)
View Answer

Induced EMF is \(e = B_v l v\). Converting speed: \(v = 360\text{ km/h} = 100\text{ m/s}\). Thus, \(e = (2 \times 10^{-4}) \times 50 \times 100 = 1.0\text{ V}\).

Question 24: easy

A current of \(2\text{ A}\) is increasing at a rate of \(4\text{ A/s}\) through a coil of inductance \(2\text{ H}\). The energy stored in the inductor per unit time in given instant is:

1. \(2\text{ J/s}\)
2. \(1\text{ J/s}\)
3. \(16\text{ J/s}\)
4. \(4\text{ J/s}\)
View Answer

Formula for rate of change of energy in an inductor is \(\frac{dU}{dt} = LI\frac{dI}{dt}\). Given \(L = 2\text{ H}\), \(I = 2\text{ A}\), and \(\frac{dI}{dt} = 4\text{ A/s}\), we get \(\frac{dU}{dt} = 2 \times 2 \times 4 = 16\text{ J/s}\).

Question 25: easy

Two coils of self inductance \(2\text{ mH}\) and \(8\text{ mH}\) are placed so close together that the effective flux in one coil is completely linked with the other. The mutual inductance between these coils is:

1. \(16\text{ mH}\)
2. \(10\text{ mH}\)
3. \(6\text{ mH}\)
4. \(4\text{ mH}\)
View Answer

For complete coupling, the coupling coefficient \(k = 1\). The mutual inductance is given by \(M = k\sqrt{L_1 L_2} = \sqrt{2 \times 8} = 4\text{ mH}\).

Question 26: 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
View Answer

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 27: easy

Assertion (A): The electric field created by time-varying magnetic field is non-conservative.


Reason (R): The line integral of induced electric field in a closed loop is always equal to zero.

1. Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
2. Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not correct explanation of Assertion.
3. Assertion is true but Reason is false.
4. Assertion and Reason are false.
View Answer

Electric field created by time-varying magnetic field is non-conservative, which means its line integral around a closed loop is non-zero (\(\oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l} = -\frac{d\phi_B}{dt}\)). Hence, Assertion is true but Reason is false.

Question 28: easy

A coil of \(\text{Cu}\) wire (radius \(r\), self inductance \(L\)) is bent in two concentric turns each having radius \(\frac{r}{2}\). The self-inductance now is:

1. \(2L\)
2. \(L\)
3. \(4L\)
4. \(\frac{L}{2}\)
View Answer

Self-inductance of a coil is \(L \propto N^2 r\). When bent into \(2\) turns of radius \(r/2\), new self-inductance is \(L' \propto (2)^2 (r/2) = 2 L\).

Question 29: easy

Two coils have mutual inductance \(0.005\text{ H}\). The current changes in the first coil according to equation \(I = I_0 \sin \omega t\), where \(I_0 = 10\text{ A}\) and \(\omega = 100\pi\text{ rad/s}\). The maximum value of EMF in the second coil is:

1. \(2\pi\)
2. \(5\pi\)
3. \(\pi\)
4. \(4\pi\)
View Answer

Induced EMF is \(e = M \frac{dI}{dt} = M I_0 \omega \cos \omega t\). Maximum EMF \(e_{max} = M I_0 \omega = 0.005 \times 10 \times 100\pi = 5\pi\text{ V}\).

Question 30: easy

Two conducting circular loops of radii \(R_1\) and \(R_2\) are placed in the same plane with their centres coinciding. If \(R_1 \gg R_2\), the mutual inductance \(M\) between them will be directly proportional to

1. \(\frac{R_2^2}{R_1}\)
2. \(\frac{R_1}{R_2}\)
3. \(\frac{R_2}{R_1}\)
4. \(\frac{R_1^2}{R_2}\)
View Answer

The magnetic field produced by the larger loop 1 at the center is \(B_1 = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 R_1}\). The magnetic flux through the smaller loop 2 is \(\phi_2 = B_1 A_2 = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2 R_1} \pi R_2^2\). Therefore, \(M = \frac{\phi_2}{I_1} = \frac{\mu_0 \pi R_2^2}{2 R_1}\), which means \(M \propto \frac{R_2^2}{R_1}\).
