  • It is the basic operating principle of the transformer, motors, generators and many other electrical components that interact with another magnetic field. 
  • The mutual inductance between the two coils can be greatly increased by positioning them on a common soft iron core or by increasing the number of turns.
Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 7

When a dc voltage of 60 V is applied across a solenoid, an electric current of 5 A flows through it. When the dc voltage is replaced by the ac voltage of the angular frequency 400 rad/s, the electric current is reduced to 3A. What is the inductance of solenoid?

Detailed Solution for Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 7

Concept:

Solenoid: 

A type of electromagnet that generates a controlled magnetic field through a coil wound into a tightly packed helix.

  • The uniform magnetic field is produced when an electric current is passed through it.
  • The magnetic field inside a solenoid does not depend on the diameter of the solenoid.
  • The field inside is constant.
     

Calculation:

Given: Vdc = 60 V, Idc = 5 A

Solenoid equivalent is given by series RL circuit.

Now by DC supply, the inductor behaves as a short circuit at a steady state.

Vdc = Idc × R = 5 × R = 60

R = 12 Ω

Now, when AC supply is given, Current Iac = 3 A at ω = 400 rad/sec

Equivalent impedance(Z) = V/I = 60/3 = 20Ω

Therefore, 

ωL = 16 Ω

L = 16/400 = 0.04 H

Detailed Solution for Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 9

Concept:

The formula for inductance of a coil is

L = μN2A / l

N is no. of turns

A is the cross-sectional area

l length of the solenoid

L ∝ N2 / l

L2L= (N2 / N1)2 x  l1l2

Calculation:

Given:

L1 = 5 mH, N1 = 50 turns

Now, The number of turns is doubled i.e.

N2 = 2N1 = 100

l= l1 = l 

L2 = 20 mH

Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 10

The _______ the permeability of the core material, the _______ will be the inductance.

Detailed Solution for Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 10

Concept:

Inductance is the property of a component that opposes the change of current flowing through it and even a straight piece of wire will have some inductance.

Therefore, the below equation will give inductance L as being proportional to the number of turns squared N2

The inductance of a coil of wire is given by,

Where N is the number of turns

A is the cross-sectional area

L is the length of the solenoid.

μr is the relative permeability of the core material

From the above relation, we observe that the inductance is directly proportional to the permeability of the material, i.e. higher the permeability of the core material, higher will be the inductance.

Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 12

A 500 W discharge lamp takes a current of 4 A at unity p.f. Find the inductance of a choke required to enable the lamp to work on 250 V, 50 Hz main.

Detailed Solution for Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 12

Concept :

Choke coil (or ballast) is a device having high inductance and negligible resistance. It is used to control current in ac circuits and is used in fluorescent tubes. The power loss in a circuit containing choke coil is least.

(1) It consist of a Cu coil wound over a soft iron laminated core

(2) Thick Cu wire is used to reduce the resistance (R) of the circuit

 (3) Soft iron is used to improve inductance (L) of the circuit

(4) The inductive reactance or effective opposition of the choke cost is given by XL = 2πfL

(5) For an ideal choke coil r= 0, no electric energy is wasted i.e. average power P=0

 6) In actual practice choke coil is equivalent to a R-L circuit.

(7) Choke coil for different frequencies are made by using different substances in their core.

 For low frequency L should be large thus iron core choke coil is used. For high frequency ac circuit, L should be small, so air cored choke coil is used.

Calculations:

P = IR


XL = 2 π f L

L= XL / 2πf

Given

P = 500 W

I = 4 A

V = 250 V

f = 50 Hz

pf  = unity

R = P / I2  = 500 / 16 = 31.25 Ω

Z =  V / I = 250 / 4 = 62.5 Ω          

XL = 54.125 Ω

L = XL  / (2π f) = 0.1732 H

Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 13

If L1 and L2 are the inductances of coil-1 and coil-2, then the total inductance of the magnetic circuit will be represented as

Detailed Solution for Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 13

Concept:

  • When inductors are connected in series so that the magnetic field of one links with the other, the effect of mutual inductance either increases or decreases the total inductance depending upon the amount of magnetic coupling. 
  • The effect of this mutual inductance depends upon the distance apart of the coils and their orientation to each other.
  • Mutually connected series inductors can be classed as either “Aiding” or “Opposing” the total inductance.

Mutually Aiding:

Leq = L1 + L2 + 2M

L : self-inductance

M: Mutual inductance

Mutually Opposing:

Leq = L1 + L2 – 2M

N = Number of turns

l = Length of coil

magnetic flux 

Calculation:

N= 1000, ϕ = 500 μwb, I = 50 A

Rl = reluctance

ϕ = (1000 × 50 ) / Rl

R= 108

L = 0.01 H

Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 15

A coil having inductance and resistance is connected to an oscillator giving a fixed sinusoidal output voltage of 5 Vrms with the oscillator set at a frequency of 50 Hz. The r.m.s. current in the coil is 1A and at a frequency of 100 Hz, the r.m.s. current is 0.625 A. The inductance of the coil is

Detailed Solution for Test: Inductance - 2 - Question 15

Concept: 

The impedance Z of an RL circuit is given by,

Z = √(R² + (2πfL)²)

Where:

  • R = resistance of the coil
  • L = inductance of the coil
  • f = frequency of the oscillator

At 50 Hz, the current is 1 A, and the voltage is 5 V, so the impedance is,

1 = 5 / Z₁

This gives

Z₁ = 5 Ω

Now, using the impedance formula,

5 = √(R² + (100πL)²)

25 = R² + (100πL)²

At 100 Hz, the current is 0.625 A, and the voltage is still 5 V, so the impedance is,

0.625 = 5 / Z₂

This gives,

Z₂ = 8 Ω

Now, using the impedance formula,

8 = √(R² + (200πL)²)

Squaring both sides,

64 = R² + (200πL)²

Now we have two equations,

25 = R² + (100πL)²                        ____(1)

64 = R² + (200πL)²                      ______(2)

Subtract the first equation from the second,

39 = (200πL)² - (100πL)²

Factoring out,

39 = 3(100πL)²

(100πL)² = 13

L = √13 / (100π)

L ≈ 0.0115 H

∴ The correct option is 2
