Directions : In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A)...
Assertion (A): Mutual inductance becomes maximum when coils are wound on each other.
Reason (R): Mutual inductance is independent of the orientation of coils.
The answer to this question is option 'C', which states that Assertion (A) is true but Reason (R) is false.
Explanation:
Mutual Inductance:
Mutual inductance is a phenomenon that occurs when two coils are placed close to each other and a changing current in one coil induces an electromotive force (emf) in the other coil. It is a measure of the effectiveness of the magnetic coupling between two coils.
Assertion (A): Mutual inductance becomes maximum when coils are wound on each other:
When coils are wound on each other, the magnetic field produced by one coil passes through the other coil, resulting in a stronger magnetic coupling between them. This leads to a higher mutual inductance between the coils. Therefore, Assertion (A) is true.
Reason (R): Mutual inductance is independent of the orientation of coils:
The Reason (R) given is incorrect. The orientation of the coils does affect the mutual inductance between them. When two coils are wound in the same direction, the magnetic fields produced by them add up, resulting in a higher mutual inductance. On the other hand, if the coils are wound in opposite directions, the magnetic fields produced by them cancel each other out, leading to a lower mutual inductance. Therefore, Reason (R) is false.
Conclusion:
From the explanation above, we can conclude that Assertion (A) is true, but Reason (R) is false. Hence, option 'C' is the correct answer.
Directions : In the following questions, A statement of Assertion (A)...
Mutual inductance depends on size, number of turns, relative position and relative orientation of the 2 coils. So, when coils are wound on each other, the mutual inductance will be maximum. So, assertion is true, But the reason is false.
