An electric potential difference will be induced between the ends of the conductor shown in the figure, if the conductor moves in the direction shown by:

AnswerFleming’s Right Hand Rule gives the direction of current in the conductor whenever it is moved in any magnetic field. It states that if we stretch our right hand fingers perpendicular to each other as shown in fig, then if fore finger is in the direction of Magnetic field and thumb is in the direction of motion of conductor then middle finger gives the direction of current in the conductor.
Explanation for the correct answer:
For induction of emf in the conductor, the motion of conductor should be perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field. Thus, Option $B$ and $C$ are eliminated.
Now if we move conductor in $P$ direction, the motion will be perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field but then the charge separation in the conductor will take place perpendicular to the length of the conductor. Thus, due to less space for charge separation emf can not be induced in the conductor. Thus, Option A is eliminated.
If conductor is moved in direction $M$ then the charge separation in the conductor takes place across its length, there will be enough space for charge separation. And thus emf will be induced across the conductor.

- ✓
A direct current flows in the ammeter $A.$
- B
No current flows through the ammeter $A$.
- C
An alternating sinusoidal current flows through the ammeter A with a time period $\text{T}=\frac{2\pi}{\omega}$.
- D
A time varying non-sinosoidal current flows through the ammeter $A.$
AnswerCorrect option: A. A direct current flows in the ammeter $A.$
Key concept: The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is used in this problem. Whenever the number of magnetic lines of force $($magnetic flux$)$ passing through a circuit changes $($or a moving conductor cuts the magnetic flux$)$ an emf is produced in the circuit $($or emf induces across the ends of the conductor$)$ is called induced emf. The induced emf persists only as long as there is a change or cutting of flux.
When cylindrical bar magnet is rotated about its axis, no change in flux linked with the circuit takes place, consequently no emf induces and hence, no current flows through the ammeter A.
Hence the ammeter shows no deflection.

When the current changes from $+2A to -2A$ in $0.05$ second, an $e.m.f.$ of $8V$ is induced in a coil. The coefficient of self$-$induction of the coil is:
- A
$0.2H$
- B
$0.4H$
- C
$0.8H$
- ✓
$0.1H$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $0.1H$
lf e is the induced $e.m.f.$ in the coil, then $\text{e}=\text{-L}\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$
$\therefore\text{L}=-\frac{\text{e}}{\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}}$
Substituting values, we get $\text{L}=\frac{-8\times0.05}{-4}=0.1\text{H}$

Comment on the statement given below: In self$-$inductionWhen the current in a coil is increasing, induced emf opposes it
When the current in a coil is decreasing, induced emf supports it
- ✓
$A$ is true, $B$ is false
- B
$A$ and $B$ are false
- C
$A$ and $B$ are true
- D
$A$ is false, $B$ is true
AnswerCorrect option: A. $A$ is true, $B$ is false
In self-induction,induced emf always opposes when the current in a coil is changing either increasing or decreasing.
So, $A$ is true, $B$ is false because when the current in a coil is increasing or decreasing, induced emf opposes it.

An electron is moving in a circular orbit of radius $R$ with an angular acceleration $\alpha$ At the center of the orbit is kept a conducting loop of radius , $(r < r)$
AnswerCorrect option: B. $\frac{\mu_0\text{er}^2}{4\text{R}}\alpha$
Using the formulas$-$
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{e}}{\text{T}}=\frac{\text{e}\omega}{2\pi}$
$B$ at center $=\frac{\mu_0}{2\text{R}}=\frac{\mu_0\text{e}\omega}{4\pi\text{R}}$
$\phi=\text{B}.\pi\text{r}^2=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi\text{R}}\text{e}\omega\pi\text{r}^2$
$=\frac{\mu_0\text{e}\omega\text{r}^2}{4\text{R}}$
$\text{e}=-\frac{\text{d}\phi}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\mu\text{e}\text{r}^2\alpha}{4\text{R}}$

When rate of change of current in a circuit is unity, the induced emf is equal to.
- A
total flux linked with the coil.
- B
- C
number of turns in the circle.
- ✓
coefficient of self induction.
AnswerCorrect option: D. coefficient of self induction.
Induced emf is equal to
$\text{emf}=\frac{\text{d}(\text{N}\phi)}{\text{dt}}=\frac{\text{-d}(\text{Li})}{\text{dt}}=-\text{L}\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$
So, when rate of change of current is equal to unity, emf is equal to coefficent of self inductance.

An electromagnetic field exists only when there is.
AnswerAn electromagnetic field exists only when there is current. electric current flowing through a wire caused a nearby compass to deflect. $...$ In most conductors, the magnetic field exists only as long as the current is flowing $($i.e. an electrical charge is in motion$).$

The self inductance $L$ of $a$ solenoid of length $l$ and area of crosssection A, with a fixed number of turns $N$ increases as:
- A
$l$ and $A$ increase.
- ✓
$l$ decreases and $A$ increases.
- C
$l$ increases and $A$ decreases.
- D
Both $l$ and $A$ decrease.
AnswerCorrect option: B. $l$ decreases and $A$ increases.
Key concept: The self inductance $L$ of $a$ solenoid depends on various factor like geometry and magnetic permeability of the core material.
$\text{L}=\mu_\text{r}\mu_0\text{n}^2\text{Al}$
where, $\text{n}=\frac{\text{N}}{\text{l}} ($no. of turns per unit length$)$
- No. of turns: Larger the number of turns in solenoid, larger is its self inductance.
- Area of cross section: Larger the area of cross section of the solenoid, larger is its self inductance.
- Permeability of the core material. The self inductance of a solenoid increases $μr$ times if it is wound over an iron core of relative permeability $μr$.
The long solenoid of cross$-$sectional area $A$ and length $l$, having $A$ turns, filled inside of the solenoid with a material of relative permeability $($e.g., soft iron, which has a high value of relative permeability$)$ then its self inductance is $\text{L}=\mu_\text{r}\mu_0\text{n}^2\frac{\text{A}}{\text{l}}$.
So, the self inductance $L$ of a solenoid increases as $l$ decreases and $A$ increases because $L$ is directly proportional to area and inversely proportional to length.
Important point: The self and mutual inductance of capacitance and resistance depend on the geometry of the devices as well as permittivity/permeability of the medium.

Two coils are at fixed locations. When coil $1$ has no current and the current in coil $2$ increases at the rate of $15.0 As ^{-1}$, the emf in coil $1$ is $25 \ mV$ . When coil $2$ has no current and coil $1$ has a current of $3.6$ A , the flux linkage in coil $2$ is.
- A
$16\ mWb$
- B
$10\ mWb$
- C
$4.00\ mWb$
- ✓
$6.00\ mWb$
AnswerCorrect option: D. $6.00\ mWb$
$\mid\text{M}\mid=\frac{\text{e}_1}{\big(\frac{\text{di}_2}{\text{dt}}\big)}=\frac{\phi_2}{\text{i}_1}$
$\therefore\phi_2=\frac{\text{e}_1\text{i}_1}{(\frac{\text{di}^2}{\text{dt}})}=\frac{(25.0\times10^{-3})(3.6)}{(15)}$
$=6\times10^{-3}=6\text{mWb}$
