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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

-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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Consider a cylindrical copper coil connected serially to a galvanometer . a strong magnet with north or south pole is taken towards it. and coil is moved up and down.
when ever there is a relative motion between coil and the magnet the galvanometer shows deflection . indicating flow of induced current.
the deflection is momentary . it last so long as there is relative motion between coil and magnet.
the direction of induced current changes if magnet or coil is moved towards or away frm it
the deflection is more when the relative motion is faster or less when it is slow.

Rohit Shah answered |
The answer is B. Its Faraday's law of magnetic induction. As the loops are brought closer to each other, the magnetic field from one loop to another increases, increasing the flux. The loops will want to counter this increase in flux, creating a back EMF that will oppose the original current. This reduces the current in each loop.

Geetika Shah answered |
The direction of the current will be anticlockwise.
According to Lenz's law, the current in the coil will be induced in the direction that'll oppose the external magnetic field .
As the flux due to the external magnet is increasing ( as the N-pole is brought close ) , the coil will have to induce current in the anticlockwise direction to oppose this increase in flux and not in clockwise direction as that'll end up supporting the external flux.

Rajesh Gupta answered |
When a magnet is moved towards the coil quickly, the rate of change of flux is larger than that if the magnetic field is moved slowly, thus larger emf is induced due to quick movement of the coil.

Tejas Desai answered |
Ans.
Option (a)
As coils approach each other, the flux linked with each coil increases. A current will be induced in each coil which will try to decrease the flux. This implies induced current in each coil will be opposite to initial current. So, current in each coil decreases as the coils approach each other.

Chirag Joshi answered |
The magnitude of induced emf is independent of the resistance of the coil.
∴e=−dϕ/dt=−N (d/dt) [(BA)/dt]
Thus, e depends upon N, B and A.
But induced current depends upon R.
∴e=−dϕ/dt=−N (d/dt) [(BA)/dt]
Thus, e depends upon N, B and A.
But induced current depends upon R.
