MCQ
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.
  • D
    The coil is stationary in external spatially varying magnetic field, which does not change with time.

Answer

  1. The coil being in a time varying magnetic field.
  2. The coil moving in a time varying magnetic field.
  3. The coil moving in a constant magnetic field.

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.
