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.

  • 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.

    momentum
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

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.

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

The no-load current drawn by transformer is usually what per cent of the full-load current ?

    12 to 15 per cent
  • d)
    20 to 30 per cent
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The no load current is about 2-5% of the full load current and it accounts for the losses in a transformer. These no-load losses include core(iron/fixed) losses, which contains eddy current losses & hysteresis losses and the copper(I2*R) losses due to the no Load current.

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.

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

Nikhil Sen answered
AC generator produces alternating current from mechanical energy.

An AC generator, also known as an alternator, is a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy in the form of alternating current (AC). It works based on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

Principle of electromagnetic induction:
Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an electric current in a conductor by changing the magnetic field around it. This principle was discovered by Michael Faraday in the early 19th century.

Working of an AC generator:
An AC generator consists of the following components:
1. Rotor: The rotor is an electromagnet that rotates within a stationary magnetic field.
2. Stator: The stator is a stationary set of conductors that produce a magnetic field.

The working of an AC generator can be explained in the following steps:

1. Mechanical energy input: Mechanical energy is supplied to the generator, usually in the form of a rotating shaft or turbine.
2. Rotation of the rotor: When the mechanical energy is supplied, the rotor starts rotating at a constant speed.
3. Induced electromotive force (EMF): As the rotor rotates, the magnetic field produced by the rotor cuts across the conductors in the stator. This changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) or voltage across the stator windings.
4. Alternating current generation: The induced EMF causes an alternating current to flow in the stator windings. The magnitude and direction of the current change periodically as the rotor continues to rotate.
5. Output terminals: The alternating current generated in the stator windings is then transferred to the external circuit through the output terminals of the generator.
6. Load utilization: The alternating current can be used to power various electrical devices and appliances.

Advantages of AC generators:
- AC generators are more efficient and reliable compared to DC generators.
- AC generators can transmit electrical energy over long distances without significant losses.
- AC generators can be easily synchronized to work in parallel, allowing for the generation of large amounts of power.

In conclusion, an AC generator produces alternating current from mechanical energy by utilizing the principle of electromagnetic induction. It converts the mechanical energy input into electrical energy output, which can then be used to power various devices and systems.

Consider the situation shown in fig. The resistanceless wire AB is slid on the fixed rails with a constant velocity. If the wire AB is replaced by a resistanceless semicircular wire, the magnitude of the induced current will
  • a)
    increase
  • b)
    remain the same
  • c)
    decrease
  • d)
    increase or decrease depending on whether the semicircle bulges towards the resistance or away from it
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Om Rana answered
As we know I = B L V. But L would be a vector quantity here(If you have doubt why L would be vector quantity, see the derivation of induced current). So we have to take L effective. But L effective here will be diameter of the semicircle as it is perpendicular to both B and V vectors. As the diameter of the circle is same as the length of the wire we used first So there will be no change in the equation of induced current. So it remains same.

sankalp raj answered
This question based on lenz law. as the bar magnet is moving , there is a change in magnetic flux.This will give polarity in the coil. Hence the current developed in the coil. so the option d is right.

A coil of 100 turns is pulled in 0.04 sec. between the poles of a magnet, if its flux changes from 40 x 10-6 Wb per turn to 10-5 Wb per turn, then the average emf induced in the coil is​
  • a)
    0.75V
  • b)
    7.5V
  • c)
    0.0075V
  • d)
    0.075V
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shalini Basu answered
Given:
Number of turns, N = 100
Time taken, t = 0.04 sec
Initial flux per turn, Φ1 = 40 x 10^-6 Wb
Final flux per turn, Φ2 = 10^-5 Wb

To find: Average emf induced in the coil

Formula used:
The average emf induced in a coil is given by
E = ΔΦ/Δt
where ΔΦ is the change in magnetic flux and Δt is the time taken for the change.

Calculation:
Change in magnetic flux, ΔΦ = Φ2 - Φ1
= (10^-5 - 40 x 10^-6) Wb
= 6 x 10^-6 Wb

Time taken for the change, Δt = t/N
= 0.04/100 sec
= 4 x 10^-4 sec

Average emf induced in the coil, E = ΔΦ/Δt
= (6 x 10^-6)/(4 x 10^-4) V
= 0.075 V

Therefore, the average emf induced in the coil is 0.075 V, which is option D.

The magnetic flux linked with a coil is changed from 1 Wb to 0.1 Wb in 0.1 second. The induced emf is​
  • a)
    0.9V
  • b)
    0.09V
  • c)
    9.0V
  • d)
    0.009V
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Nikita Singh answered
Change n in magnetic flux Δϕ=0.1−1=−0.9 Weber
Time taken  Δt=0.1 sec
So, emf induced in the coil  E=− Δϕ​/Δt
⟹ E=− (−0.9)​/ 0.1=9 Volts
Hence option C is the correct answer.

Efficiency of electric motor is always less than
  • a)
    75%
  • b)

  • c)
    50%
  • d)
    25%
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Soumya Yadav answered
Efficiency of electric motor is always less than 100% because the output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction.
