Understanding the Scenario
In this experiment, we have two coils, C1 and C2. C1 is connected in series with a galvanometer, while C2 is connected to a battery via a tapping key. When the tapping key is pressed or released, an interesting electromagnetic phenomenon occurs.
Induced Current in C1
- When the tapping key is pressed, current starts to flow through C2, creating a changing magnetic field around it.
- This change in magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in coil C1 due to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
Galvanometer Response
- The galvanometer measures the current flowing through it, which is influenced by the induced EMF from coil C1.
- The key point here is that the galvanometer will show a deflection while the current in C2 is changing.
Key Details
- Pressing the Key: The initial pressing of the key causes a rapid change in current, leading to an induced current in C1.
- Releasing the Key: When the key is released, the current in C2 decreases, again causing a change in the magnetic field and subsequently an induced EMF in C1.
Conclusion
- Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B': shows deflection while current in C2 is changing.
- The galvanometer does not show a constant reading but reacts to the changes in the current flowing through C2.
This phenomenon illustrates the principles of electromagnetic induction and the behavior of inductors in circuits.
