    Attract
  • b)
    Repel
  • c)
    Intersect
  • d)
    Cancel

Sanya Agarwal answered
Lines of magnetic flux which are parallel to each other and in the same direction repel each other because they tend to act as like poles and like poles repel each other.

    Same direction
  • b)
    Opposite direction
  • c)
    Perpendicular
  • d)

    Emerge
  • b)
    Converge
  • c)
    Neither emerge nor converge
  • d)
    Either emerge or converge

Magnetic field lines converge at the south pole. Field lines seem to converge at the south pole because they end at the south pole.

An E.M.F. can be induced by _________

    Change in the area of cross section
  • c)
    Change in angle between magnetic field and area

It is the dot product of magnetic field vector and area vector.
emf=BAcos(theta), hence if either of the three, that is, magnetic field, area or angle changes, thee emf will change.

When a charged particle moves at right angles to the magnetic field, the variable quantity is?
  • a)
    Momentum
  • b)
    Speed
  • c)
    Energy
  • d)

When a charged particle moves perpendicular to the field, its speed remains the same whereas its velocity keeps on changing. Momentum is the product of the mass of the particle and the velocity if the particle, hence since velocity varies, momentum also varies.

  • c)
    Current
  • d)
    Flux

Calculate the force between two charges having magnitude 3nC and 2nC separated by a distance of 2micro m.
  • a)
    13.5N
  • b)
    13.5kN
  • c)
    1.35N
  • d)
    1.35kN
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Gayatri Menon answered
Given:
- Charge 1 magnitude = 3 nC
- Charge 2 magnitude = 2 nC
- Distance between the charges = 2 µm

To calculate the force between the charges, we can use Coulomb's law, which states that the force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of their magnitudes and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Coulomb's law equation:
F = (k * q1 * q2) / r^2

where:
- F is the force between the charges
- k is the electrostatic constant (k = 9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2)
- q1 is the magnitude of charge 1
- q2 is the magnitude of charge 2
- r is the distance between the charges

Let's substitute the given values into the equation:

F = (9 * 10^9 Nm^2/C^2) * ((3 * 10^-9 C) * (2 * 10^-9 C)) / (2 * 10^-6 m)^2

Simplifying the equation:

F = (9 * 3 * 2 * 10^-18) / 4 * 10^-12

F = 54 * 10^-18 / 4 * 10^-12

F = 13.5 * 10^-6 N

Converting the result to kilonewtons (kN):

F = 13.5 * 10^-6 N = 13.5 * 10^-6 * 10^-3 kN

F = 13.5 * 10^-9 kN

Therefore, the force between the charges is 13.5 kN.

As the magnetic field strength increases, reluctance?
  • a)
    Increases
  • b)
    Decreases
  • c)
    Remains the same
  • d)
    Becomes zero
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Swati Tiwari answered
Reluctance is directly proportional to the strength of magnetic field, hence as the strength of magnetic field increases, the reluctance increases.

What happens to the magnetic field in the solenoid when the number of turns increases?
  • a)
    Increases
  • b)
    Decreases
  • c)
    Remains constant
  • d)
    Becomes zero
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Yash Patel answered
The magnetic field of a solenoid is directly proportional to the number of turns in it. Hence as the number of turns increases, the magnetic field also increases.

The ratio of magnetic force to electric force on a charged particle getting undeflected in a field is ______
  • a)
    1
  • b)
    0
  • c)
    2
  • d)
    4
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

When a charged particle is undeflected in a field, the magnitude of the magnetic force and electric force acting on the particle is the same, hence the ratio is 1.

What is the consequence of motor effect?
  • a)
    Current
  • b)
    Voltage
  • c)
    Electromagnetic induction
  • d)
    EMF
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Shail Nambiar answered
Motor effect is when a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field experiences a force, hence its consequence is electromagnetic induction.

Which, among the following qualities, is not affected by the magnetic field?
  • a)
    Moving charge
  • b)
    Change in magnetic flux
  • c)
    Current flowing in conductor
  • d)
    Stationary charge
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

A stationary charge is not affected by a magnetic field because stationary charges do not have any velocity. Magnetic field cannot occur in a particle having zero velocity.

 A substance whose permeability is less than the permeability of free space is?
  • a)
    Diamagnetic
  • b)
    Paramagnetic
  • c)
    Ferromagnetic
  • d)
    Not a magnetic substance
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Chauhan answered
A diamagnetic material creates a magnetic field opposing that of the external magnetic field and it repels the external magnetic field. Hence its permeability is less than that of free space.

According to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic inductance, an emf is induced in a conductor whenever?
  • a)
    The conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field
  • b)
    Lies in the magnetic field
  • c)
    Cuts magnetic lines of flux
  • d)
    Moves parallel to the magnetic field
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Lavanya Menon answered
An emf is induced, according to Faraday’s laws of electromagnetic inductance, whenever the conductor in a magnetic field cuts the magnetic lies of flux, varying the flux per unit area, and hence the magnetic field which induces an emf.

Which, among the following, have negative susceptibility?
  • a)
    Diamagnetic
  • b)
    Paramagnetic
  • c)
    Ferromagnetic
  • d)
    Not a magnetic substance
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Nilanjan Saini answered
Magnetic susceptibility is the degree of magnetisation of a material in response to the external magnetic field. Diamagnetic substances repel the magnetic field and hence have negative susceptibility.

According to Fleming’s right hand rule, the middle finger points towards?
  • a)
    Current
  • b)
    E.M.F.
  • c)
    Motion of the conductor
  • d)
    Magnetic flux
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajveer Saha answered
Fleming’s left hand rule stated that if the index finger points towards magnetic flux, the thumb towards the motion of the conductor, then the middle finger points towards the induced emf.
