Question
An inductor is connected to a battery through a switch. Explain why the emf induced in the inductor is much larger when the switch is opened as compared to the emf induced when the switch is closed.
✓

Answer

Due to self inductance the emf produced when circuit is open the growth of current in inductor is small but when switch is closed the decay in current is faster thus emf induced is more.

A tuning fork of frequency 256Hz produces 4 beats per second with a wire of length 25cm vibrating in its fundamental mode. The beat frequency decreases when the length is slightly shortened. What could be the minimum length by which the wire be shortened so that it produces no beats with the tuning fork?
