A metal rod moves at a constant velocity in a direction perpendicular to its length. A constant uniform magnetic field exists in space in a direction perpendicular to the rod as well its velocity. Select correct statements $(s)$ from the following.
  • A
    the entire rod is at the same potential
  • there is an electric field in the rod
  • C
    the electric potential is highest at the centre
  • D
    the electric potential is lowest at its centre and increases towards its ends
Answer
Correct option: B.
there is an electric field in the rod

The moving rod develops an electric field $= Bvl$
and the $\text{EMF}$ induced is such that it opposes the change of magnetic field.
Due to shifting of electrons, one end of the rod becomes positive and the other end negative. This developes a electric field in the rod.

MCQ 1031 Mark
A tank containing a liquid has turns of wire wrapped around it, causing it to act as an inductor. The liquid content of the tank can be measured by using its inductance to determine the height of the liquid level in the tank. The inductance of the tank changes from a value of $L_0$ corresponding to a relative permeability of $1$ when the tank is empty to value $L_f$ corresponding to a relative permeability $X_m$ (relative permeability of liquid) when the tank is full. The appropriate electronic circuit can determine the inductance correct upto $5$ significant figures and thus the effective relative permeability of the combined air and liquid within the rectangular has height $D$. The height of the liquid level in the tank is d . Ignore the fringing effects. Assume tank is fitted with $H _{ g } X _{ Hg }=2.9 \times 10^5$. Express d as a function of $L$, inductance corresponding to a certain liquid height $LO,Lf$ and $D$.
  • $\text{d}=\frac{(\text{L - L})_0\text{D}}{\text{L}_\text{f}-\text{L}_0}$
  • B
    $\text{d}=\frac{\text{L}\text{D}}{\text{L}_\text{f}-\text{L}_0}$
  • C
    $\text{d}=\frac{(\text{L - L})_0\text{D}}{\text{L}_\text{f}}$
  • D
    $\text{None of these}$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\text{d}=\frac{(\text{L - L})_0\text{D}}{\text{L}_\text{f}-\text{L}_0}$
Inductance of empty tank $=L_0$
Relative permeability $=1$
Inductance of full tank $=L_f$
Relative permeability $=X_m$
Now, $L_f-L_0 \alpha D$
and $L_f-L_0 \alpha \frac{1}{d}$
therefore, $\left(L_f-L_0\right)$
or $\left(L_f-L_0\right)=k \frac{D}{d}[k \text { is the probability constant }]$
Now when the tank is filled partly with liquid and partly empty, Inductance $= L$
$K=L-L_0$
$L_f-L_0=\left(L-L_0\right) \frac{D}{d}$
$d=\frac{(L-L)_0 D}{L_f-L_0}$

Which of the following best describe the electromagnetic induction?
  • The ability of a changing magnetic field to induce a voltage in a conductor
  • B
    The ability of a conductor to generate a magnetic field
  • C
    The ability of a static magnetic field to induce a voltage in a conductor
  • D
    The ability of a permanent magnet to induce a voltage in a coil
Answer
Correct option: A.
The ability of a changing magnetic field to induce a voltage in a conductor
Electromagnetic induction is a process where a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field $($or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field$)$ causes the production of a voltage across the conductor. Changing magnetic field causes a change in flux which gives rise to induced emf. Also, a moving rod in a uniform magnetic field would mean moving electrons in a magnetic field which would exert force on them to move in a particular direction in the rod, thus creating a potential difference across ends.

Mark the incorrect statement.
  • A
    electric current produces magnetism.
  • B
    magnets can produce electric current.
  • magnets can't produce electric current.
  • D
    $a$ and $b$
Answer
Correct option: C.
magnets can't produce electric current.

A magnet can generate electric current by the means of electromagnetic induction. When there is a relative motion between a coil and a magnet, the magnetic flux linked to the coil changes due to that relative motion. This change in magnetic flux will induce a current in the coil, which is known as induced current.

Which of following can induce the maximum induced voltage?
  • A
    $1$ amp $dc.$
  • B
    $1$ amp $1 Hz.$
  • $1$ amp $100 Hz.$
  • D
    $20$ amp $dc.$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$1$ amp $100 Hz.$

If we apply a high$-$frequency supply of the same peak voltage to the coil, the current still is being delayed by $90o$ but the time it requires to reach its maximum value has been reduced due to the increase in frequency. Because the frequency is inversely proportional to time $(T).$ Hence, the rate of change of the flux within the coil has also increased due to the increase in frequency. Hence, the induced $\text{EMF}$ is maximum in case of $1$ amp $100 \ Hz$ supply source in the coil.

The coefficient of mutual inductance between two coils depends on.
  • A
    medium between the coils
  • B
    separation between the two coils
  • C
    orientation of the two coils
  • all of the above
Answer
Correct option: D.
all of the above

The flux linked with two coils will depend upon the angle between the two coils. If their planes are parallel, then magnetic flux from one would completely pass through the other. If the planes are perpendicular, no flux due to any of the coils would flow through the other.
The size of the two coils may be different which will affect the number of lines crossing the coil. The medium, if magnetic, will concentrate the field lines. Thus, all parameters would affect the inductance between them.

  • B
    $\text{L}=-\frac{\text{edI}}{\text{dt}}$
  • C
    $\text{L}=\frac{\text{dI}}{\text{edt}}$
  • D
    $\text{L}=\frac{\text{dI}}{\text{dt}}\text{e}^2$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\text{L}=\Big(-\frac{\text{dI}}{\text{dt}}\Big)$
Inductance is the property of a conductor by which a change in current flowing through it induces $($creates$)$ a voltage $($electromotive force$)$ in both the conductor itself $($self$-$inductance$)$ and in any nearby conductors $($mutual inductance$)$. By Lenz's law the induced voltage opposed the the change in current. Hence inductance is defined as.$\text{L}=\Big(-\frac{\text{dI}}{\text{dt}}\Big)$

A circular coil expands radially in a region of magnetic field and no electromotive force is produced in the coil. This can be because
  • A
    The magnetic field is constant.
  • B
    The magnetic field is in the same plane as the circular coil and it may or may not vary.
  • C
    The magnetic field has a perpendicular (to the plane of the coil) component whose magnitude is decreasing suitably.
  • B and C both
Answer
Correct option: D.
B and C both
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.
The induced e.m.f is given by rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the circuit, i.e., $\text{e}=\frac{-\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}$.
According to the problem there is no electromotive force produced in the coil. Then the various arrangement are to be thought of in such a way that the magnetic flux linked with the coil does not change even if the coil is placed and expanded in magnetic field.
When circular coil expands radially in a region of magnetic field such that the magnetic field is in the same plane as the circular coil or we can say that direction of magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of area (increasing) so that their dot product is always zero and hence change in magnetic flux is also zero.

Or
The magnetic field has a perpendicular (to the plane of the coil) component whose-magnitude is decreasing suitably in such a way that the dot product of magnetic field and surface area of plane of coil remain constant at every instant.

Two circular loops of equal radii are placed coaxially at some separation. The first is cut and a battery is inserted in between to drive a current in it. The current $c \sim $anges slightly because of the variation in resistance with temperature. During this period, the two loops:
  • Attract each other.
  • B
    Repel each other.
  • C
    Do not exert any force on each other.
  • D
    Attract or repel each other depending on the sense of the current.
Answer
Correct option: A.
Attract each other.

Due to Mutual induction, current is generated in second loop and that causes the two loops attract each other.

The resistance coils in a resistance box are made of double folded wire so that their.
  • self induction effect in nullified
  • B
    self inductance is maximum
  • C
    induced emf is maximum
  • D
    None of these
Answer
Correct option: A.
self induction effect in nullified

Presence of inductance increases the impedance more than the actual resistance value. Therefore to reduce the chance of occurrence of inductance in the resistor coils, they are double folded, so that current in opposite direction cancel the induced flux linkages if any and hence inductance is nullified.
