MCQ 1551 Mark
Which of the following defines electromagnetic induction:
  • When the magnetic field associated with a coil changes, an induced electric current flows through the coil.
  • B
    Electric current induces magnetic field near the wire carrying current.
  • C
    Two permanent magnets exert force on each other.
  • D
    Electrolyte disintegrates into ions in a battery.
Answer
Correct option: A.
When the magnetic field associated with a coil changes, an induced electric current flows through the coil.
The magnetic field associated with a coil is the magnetic flux flowing normally to the surface area of the current$-$carrying coil. When it changes, an emf is produced opposing the cause. This is the principle of Electromagnetic induction.

MCQ 1581 Mark
A wire loop is rotated in a uniform magnetic field about an axis perpendicular to the field. The direction of the current induced in the loop reverse once each.
  • A
    quarter revolution
  • half revolution
  • C
    full revolution
  • D
    two revolution
Answer
Correct option: B.
half revolution

It is because after every $\frac{1}{2}$ revolution the current becomes zero and mode of change in flux changes thereafter $($If before the current becomes zero, the mode of flux change was from left to right then after the current becomes zero the mode of flux change becomes right to left$).$

    $220\ volt$
  • B
    $440\ volt$
  • C
    $200\ volt$
  • $400\ volt$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$400\ volt$

Total resistance of the circuit $=4000+400=4400$ ohms
Current flowing $i =\frac{ v }{ R }=\frac{440}{4400}=0.1 . A$
Voltage across load $V _{ L }= Ri =4000 \times 0.1=400 V$

MCQ 1641 Mark
If the turns ratio of a transformer is $2$ and the impedance of primary coil is $250 \ W$ then the impedance of secondary coil will be.
  • $1000\Omega$
  • B
    $500\Omega$
  • C
    $250\Omega$
  • D
    $125\Omega$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$1000\Omega$

As shown in the image $\text{L}\propto\text{N}^2$
and transformer has coils which cause impedance and impedance of a inductor is $2\pi\text{fL}$
so impedance of each coil $\propto\text{N}^2$
so impedance of secondary coil $=\text{Z}_\text{P}\Big(\frac{\text{N}_S}{\text{N}_P}\Big)^2$
$=250\times2^2=1000\Omega$

MCQ 1651 Mark
In an $AC$ generator, a coil with $N$ turns, all of the same area $A$ and total resistance $R,$ rotates with frequency $1rad/ s$ in a magnetic field $B$. The maximum value of emf generated in the coil is:
  • $\text{N.A.B ω}$
  • B
    $\text{N.A.B.R ω}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{10}\text{N.A.B}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{10}\text{N.A.B.R}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\text{N.A.B ω}$

Let at time $t = 0,$ the coil is vertical and at time $t$, plane of coil makes an
angle $\theta$ with the vertical, then
$\theta=\omega\text{t},(\omega=\text{uniform angular velocity}),$
in this position, magnetic flux linked with coil will be,
$\phi=\text{NBA}\cos\theta, ($where, $A =$ area of coil,$)$
$\phi=\text{NBA}\cos\omega\text{t},$
now, differentiating this equation $w.r.t.$ time, we get
$\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dt}}(\text{NBA}\cos\omega\text{t}),$
$\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=-\text{NBA}\omega\sin\omega\text{t},$
if $e$ is the emf induced in coil then by Faraday's law,
$\text{e}=-\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\text{NBA}\omega\sin\omega\text{t},$
Now if, $\sin\omega\text{t}=1 ($maximum$),$
then $\text{e}_\text{max}=\text{NBA}\omega,$
If $\omega=\frac{1\text{rad}}{\text{s,}}$
then $\text{e}_\text{max}=\text{NBA}$

MCQ 1671 Mark
An e.m.f is produced in a coil, which is not connected to an external voltage source. This can be due to:
  • A
    The coil being in a time varying magnetic field.
  • B
    The coil moving in a time varying magnetic field.
  • C
    The coil moving in a constant magnetic field.
  • All of the above.
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above.
Solution:
Key concept: As we know whenever the number of magnetic lines of force (magnetic flux) passing through a circuit changes, an e.m.f is produced in the circuit called induced e.m.f. The induced e.m.f persists only as long as there is a change or cutting of flux.
In this problem, magnetic flux linked with the isolated coil changes when the coil is placed in the region of a time varying magnetic field, the coil moving in a constant magnetic field or in time varying magnetic field.
