Question 31 Mark
Graph between magnetic flux $\phi$ and electric current $I$ for two inductors $A$ and $B$ is given in the figure. The magnitude of self-inductance will be more for whom?
Image
Answer
Since $\phi= LI \Rightarrow L =\phi / I$ and $\phi= LI \Rightarrow \phi \propto I$
Hence there is a linear graph between $\phi$ and $I$ and slope of $\phi / I$ will represent the self-inductance of the inductor. The slope of A is more than as compared to that of B , so selfinductance of A will be more.

Question 41 Mark
In the given figure, magnitude of current is increasing in the wire xy from x to y . Is there any induced current in a loop placed near the wire?
Image
Answer
Yes, and direction of induced current will be clockwise. According to right hand thumb rule, due to current in wire xy, magnetic field passing through the loop will be perpendicularly outwards and according to Lenz's law, the direction will be such that it opposes the current from increasing in that surface.

Question 51 Mark
What will be the magnitude of induced current in circular loop KLMN of radius $r$ if constant current of $1 A$ is passed in straight wire $P Q$ ?
Image
Answer
Zero, because when current is kept constant in PQ , then there is no change in magnetic flux in a coil placed near to it, hence no current will be induced.

Question 81 Mark
Two coils one of larger radius $R$ and other of smaller radius $r$ are kept near. If mutual induction coefficient for this pair is $1 mH$ what is the magnetic flux associated with the larger coil when a current of $0.5 A$ is flowing in the smaller coil? When current in smaller coil is zero then what is its effect on larger coil?
Answer
Given : $ M=1 m $ henry $=10^{-3} H$
$I_1=0.5 A $
$\therefore$ Magnetic flux related ot larger coil
$ \phi_2 =MI_1=10^{-3} \times 0.5$
$ =5.0 \times 10^{-4} Wb $
When current in the smaller coil becomes zero, then induced emf will be generated in larger coil due to decrease in magnetic flux.

Question 101 Mark
An emf of 20 m volt is induced in the coil when the rate of change of current in the solenoid is $4 A / s$, then what is the self-inductance of the coil?
Answer
$|\varepsilon|= L \frac{\Delta I }{\Delta t } \Rightarrow L =\frac{|\varepsilon|}{\frac{\Delta I }{\Delta t }}$
$L =\frac{20 \times 10^{-3} \text { Volt }}{4 \text { Ampere } / \text { second }}$
$=5 \times 10^{-3} \frac{\text { Volt } / \text { second }}{\text { Ampere }}$
$=5 \times 10^{-3}$ Henry $=5 mH$

Question 111 Mark
Write Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction.
Answer
Faraday gave two important laws on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction
1. First law of Faraday: When magnetic flux linked with a coil changes then induced emf and induced current is generated in the coil. Induced emf is developed only till the change in the magnetic flux is taking place.
2. Second law of Faraday: According to this law, emf induced in the coil is proportional to the rate of change of flux.

Question 131 Mark
Is it possible for a man sitting in the train to measure induced emf generated in axis of train?
Answer
No, because the train is stationary relative to man. Since v=0, so induced emf will also be zero.

Question 151 Mark
Why self-induction is called inertia of electricity?
Answer
Self-induction is that property of a coil by virtue of which it tries to maintain the magnetic flux associated with it which means it opposes any change in the flux. This property is similar to property of inertia in mechanics. Hence it is called inertia of electricity.

Question 191 Mark
Current in any circuit decreases from 5.0 A to 1.0 A in 0.1 s. If average induced emf is 200 V, then analyze self-induction in the coil.
Answer
$I _1=5 A, I _2=0 A$
$d I = I _1- I _2=5-0=5 A$
$d t=0.1 s$
$e =200 Volt$
For self-inductance in the coil
$L =\frac{ e }{d I / d t}=\frac{200}{\frac{5}{0.1}}$
$L =\frac{ e }{d L / d t}=\frac{200}{\frac{5}{0.1}}$
$L =5 H$

Question 201 Mark
If magnitude of current is made twice in any inductor, then how many times will the stored energy become?
Answer
$U =\frac{1}{2} Lt _0^2$
On doubling the magnitude of current
$\therefore \quad U ^{\prime}=\frac{1}{2} L\left(2 I _0\right)^2=4 \times \frac{1}{2} LI _0^2$
$U ^{\prime}=4 U$
Hence, the stored energy will become four times.

Question 211 Mark
When the south pole of a bar magnet is taken close to a coil, then what is the direction of induced current in the coil? Explain with reason.
Answer
Clockwise because due to this south pole will be formed at the ends of coil which according to Lenz's law will oppose the motion of the magnet towards it.

Question 251 Mark
Self-inductance of any coil is 1 H. What do you understand by this?
Answer
$\varepsilon=- L \frac{d I }{d t}$
Here $L =1$, then $\quad \varepsilon=-\frac{d I }{d t}$
Which means that when rate of change of electric current is $1 A / s$, then emf of 1 volt will be induced.
