Which among the following rules is used to determine the direction of induced emf?
  • a)
    Right-hand thumb rule
  • b)
    Fleming’s right-hand rule
  • c)
    Fleming’s left-hand rule
  • d)

A metal wheel with 20 metallic spokes each 1m long, is rotated with a speed of 180 rpm, in a plane perpendicular to the earth's field. at that place. If the magnitude of the field is 0.40 gauss, then the emf between the axle and rim of the wheel is 
  • a)
    3.77× 105 V
  • b)
    3.77× 10-5V
  • c)
    3.77 × 104 V
  • d)
    3.77× 10-4 V
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Given: number of spokes, n = 20 length of spokes, l = radius (r) = 1m, magnetic field (B) = 0.4 gauss = 0.4 × 10-4 tesla, and frequency (f) = 180 rpm = 3 rps
  • The relation linear velocity and angular velocity is given by,
⇒ v = rω
Where ω is the angular velocity
Linear velocity of spoke at the axle = 0, and linear velocity at the rim end = rω .
  • So the average liner velocity 
  • Angular velocity (ω) of the spoke is given as
⇒ ω = 2πf = 2π × 3 = 6π 
  • The emf between the axle and rim of the wheel.
⇒ ε = Blv = 0.4 × 10-4 × 1 × 0.5 × 6π = 3.77× 10-4 V
  • Hence option 4) is correct.

Electro motive force represents
  • a)
    Force
  • b)
    Work
  • c)
    Energy per unit charge
  • d)
    Momentum
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Electromotive force: The energy per unit electric charge that is imparted by an energy source (battery or electric generator) is called emf or electromotive force.
  • Electromotive force is commonly denoted by the acronym emf, EMF or E.
  • The SI unit for electromotive force is the volt.
  • Electromotive force in a circuit maintains the potential difference.
  • Electromotive Force (EMF) makes free electrons to flow in any closed circuit due to difference in electrical pressure or potential. Its unit is Volt.
  • Volt is defined as work done per unit charge or energy consumed in bringing a charge from one point to another. 
  • So, the Energy per unit charge is electromotive force. 

A metal wheel with 20 metallic spokes each 1m long, is rotated with a speed of 180 rpm, in a plane perpendicular to the earth's field. at that place. If the magnitude of the field is 0.40 gauss, then the emf between the axle and rim of the wheel is

  • c)

  • d)
    3.77× 10-4 V
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Given: number of spokes, n = 20 length of spokes, l = radius (r) = 1m, magnetic field (B) = 0.4 gauss = 0.4 × 10-4 tesla, and frequency (f) = 180 rpm = 3 rps
The relation linear velocity and angular velocity is given by,
⇒ v = rω
Where ω is the angular velocity
Linear velocity of spoke at the axle = 0, and linear velocity at the rim end = rω .
So the average liner velocity 

Angular velocity (ω) of the spoke is given as
⇒ ω = 2πf = 2π × 3 = 6π 
The emf between the axle and rim of the wheel.
⇒ ε = Blv = 0.4 × 10-4 × 1 × 0.5 × 6π = 3.77× 10-4 V
Hence option 4) is correct.

A wire of length 3m is moving with a speed of 50m/s in a direction perpendicular to a magnetic field of 4.5 Wb/m2. The  induced emf in the wire is
  • a)
    675 × 10V
  • b)
    675 V
  • c)
    675 mV
  • d)
    675 × 105V
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Motional emf: The emf induced due to motion relative to a magnetic field is called the motional emf. 
  • Consider a straight conductor PQ moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B.
    • Assume the motion of the rod to be uniform with a constant velocity of (v m/s).
    • The rectangle PQRS forms a closed circuit enclosing a changing area due to the motion of the rod PQ.
  • The magnetic flux ϕ enclosed by the loop PQRS can be given as:
⇒ ϕ = B × area = B × (l.x)
  • Since the conductor is moving, there is a change in the rate of area moving. This causes a rate of change of flux which induces an emf.
  • This induced emf is given by:

Where - dx/dt = v is the speed of the conductor PQ​

Consider the following statement for a circular conductor moving in and out of the magnetic field:
  1. The polarity of induced motional EMF is such that it supports the change in magnetic flux responsible for its production.
  2. Magnetic flux is independent of the area of the circular conductor.
  3. If the coil is cut somewhere and then moved in and out of the magnetic field, EMF will be generated.
  4. The basic cause of induced emf is the change in magnetic flux.
Which of the following statements are correct 
  • a)
    1) and 2) only
  • b)
    2) and 4 only
  • c)
    3) and 4) only
  • d)
    More than one of the above
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

  • According to Lenz law, the polarity of induced EMF is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux responsible for its production.
  • Magnetic flux depends on the area of the circular conductor. The magnetic flux (ϕ) enclosed by the circular loop can be given as ϕ = B × area
  • If the coil is cut somewhere and then moved in and out of the magnetic field, EMF will be generated
  • The basic cause of induced emf is the change in magnetic flux.
  • When a conductor is moved in and out of the magnetic field, magnetic flux across it changes. this causes the generation of EMF in the direction such that it opposes the change. Hence option 4) is correct.

If an accelerating magnet is moved inside a current-carrying coil, then what will happen to the current inside it?
  • a)
    Current increases
  • b)
    Current decreases
  • c)
    Current remains constant
  • d)
    Reverse current flows
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Since an emf is induced by the change in the magnetic field, there should be a current when there is an emf. Due to this reason, the current inside the coil increases when the magnet is moved inside it.
