The direction of the induced current is as shown in the figure, according to Lenz’s law which states that the indeed current flows always in such a direction as to oppose the change which is giving rise to it.

As the coil is neither moving inside the magnetic flux nor moving outside the magnetic flux the change is magnetic fulx is zero . therefore emf is zero hencecurrent induced in the coil is zero the thing is the coil moves in region of constant and uniform magnetic field ,so as said above current induced is zero option 2 is correct.

Mamali . answered
When a conductive material is subjected to a time-varying magnetic flux, eddy currents are generated in the conductor. These eddy currents circulate inside the con- ductor generating a magnetic field of opposite polarity as the applied magnetic field. The interaction of the two magnetic fields causes a force that resists the change in magnetic flux. However, due to the internal resistance of the conductive material, the eddy currents will be dissipated into heat and the force will die out. As the eddy currents are dissipated, energy is removed from the system, thus producing a damp- ing effect.

The magnetic field through the secondary of N2 turns of each other of area S is given as,
N2= Φ2=N2(BS)
     =μ0n1N2i1S
M= N2Φ2/i1
M= μ0n1N2S
Substituting the values.
M=(4πx10-7) x100x200x5x10-3

  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
By Faraday's Law of induction,
ε=− dϕ​/dt
=−Bl (dx/dt) ​=−Blv0​
This emf should induce the movement of charges creating a current. But due to the attached capacitor, all charges are conserved.
Thus I= dq/dt ​=0
The correct option is C.

During braking, the metal wheels are exposed to a magnetic field from an electromagnet, generating eddy currents in the wheels. So, by Lenz's law, the magnetic field formed by the Eddy current will oppose its cause. Thus the wheel will face a force opposing the initial movement of the wheel.

A magnet is moved towards the coil (a) quickly and (b) slowly, and then the work done is This is because when the magnet is moved quickly, opposing emf induced in the coil will be more.

Consider the surface facing upwards having points A, B, C and D in anticlockwise direction when viewing towards the surface from above. Let this be S
flux = S×B
As the flux increases, by Lenz's Law the induced current will be in the direction C B A D C, so as to oppose the increase in flux.

Rahul Bansal answered
Self induction is that phenomenon in which a change in electric current in a coil produces an induced emf in the coil itself.
Now, it is also known as inertia of electricity as for if we were to change electric current through a current carrying coil it will tend to oppose any further change in its emf. This is similar to inertial behavior in mechanics where bodies in either rest or motion tend to oppose any change in their state. Here mass is the inertial property analogous to self inductance.

The current i in a coil varies with time as shown in the figure. The variation of induced emf with time would be [2011]

Two identical conductors P and Q are placed on two frictionless fixed conducting rails R and S in a uniform magnetic field directed into the plane. If P is moved in the direction shown in figure with a constant speed, then rod Q
  • a)
    will be attracted towards P
  • b)
    will be repelled away from P
  • c)
    will remain stationary
  • d)
    may be repelled or attracted towards P
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Neha Sharma answered
As the conductor P moves away from Q, the area of the loop enclosed by the conductors and the rails increases. This in turn increases the flux through the loop.
EMF will be induced in such a way that the change in flux will be resisted. The induced current will cause Q to move towards P thereby reducing the area and thus the flux back.
 

A small conducting rod of length l, moves with a uniform velocity v in a uniform magnetic field B as shown in fig-
  • a)
    Then the end X of the rod becomes positively charged
  • b)
    the end Y of the rod becomes positively charged
  • c)
    the entire rod is unevely charged
  • d)
    the rod becomes hot due to joule heating
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered
The rod is moving towards the right in a field directed into the page.
Now, if we apply Fleming's right hand rule, then the direction of induced current will be from end X to end Y.
But, according to Lenz's law the emf induced in the rod will be such that it opposes the motion of the rod.
Hence, the actual emf induced will be from end Y to end X. So, the current will also flow from end Y to end X.
Now, using the convention of current end Y should be positive and end X should be negative.
So, correct answer is option b

On multiply w in upper & lower side we get inductive reactance & capacitive reactance
so on cancel out in term of unit we get R/V
which is equal to 1/i= A-1

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Arka Das answered
-4 seconds. Find the average induced emf in the solenoid during this time.

We can use Faraday's law of induction to find the average induced emf in the solenoid:

emf = -N (ΔΦ/Δt)

where N is the number of turns, ΔΦ is the change in magnetic flux, and Δt is the time interval.

Since the current is suddenly switched off, the magnetic flux through the solenoid changes from its maximum value to zero. The maximum value of magnetic flux through the solenoid is given by:

Φ = B A

where B is the magnetic field strength and A is the area of cross-section. Since the solenoid is air-cored, the magnetic field is given by:

B = μ0 N I / L

where μ0 is the permeability of free space, I is the current, and L is the length of the solenoid. Substituting the given values, we get:

B = (4π × 10^-7) × 500 × 2.5 / 0.3 = 1.05 T

Therefore, the maximum magnetic flux through the solenoid is:

Φ = 1.05 × 25 × 10^-4 = 2.625 × 10^-5 Wb

During the brief time of 10^-4 seconds, the change in magnetic flux is equal to the maximum flux, since the current is switched off suddenly. Therefore, ΔΦ = 2.625 × 10^-5 Wb.

Substituting the given values in the formula for emf, we get:

emf = -500 (2.625 × 10^-5) / (10^-4) = -1.3125 V

Therefore, the average induced emf in the solenoid during the brief time of 10^-4 seconds is 1.3125 V. Note that the negative sign indicates that the induced emf opposes the change in current.

When a wire loop is rotated in a magnetic field, the direction of induced emf changes once in each
  • a)
    2 revolutions
  • b)
    1 revolution
  • c)
    1/2 revolution
  • d)
    12 revolution
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajeev Saxena answered
Flux of the magnetic field through the loop is ϕ=Bπr2coswt
Where θ= angle the normal makes with the portion of the loop in duced emf.
∈=wBπr2sinwt
These is zero when wt=nπ ie
When θ=0,π,2π.... etc.
So, the induced emf changes direction every half rotation.

Lavanya Menon answered
In SI units, permeability is measured in Henries per meter H/m or Hm−1.
Henry has the dimensions of [ML2T−2A−2].
Dimensions for magnetic permeability will be [ML2T−2A−2]/[L]=[MLT−2A−2]
