The area of a coil is 500cmand the number of turns in it is 2000. It is kept perpendicular to a magnetic field of induction 4 × 10-5Wb/ m2. The coil is rotated through 180 in 0.1 second. If the resistance of the total circuit is 20Ω, then the value of the induced charge flowing in the circuit will be :
  • A
    1 × 10-4
  • B
    2 × 10-4
  • C
    3 × 10-4
  • D
    4 × 10-4
Answer
  1. 4 × 10-4

Explanation:

Initial flux through the coil, $=\text{BA}\cos\theta$

$=\text{BA}\cos0^\circ$ as the coil is perpendicular to magnetic field

= BA Wb

Final flux after the rotation,

$=\text{BA}\cos180^\circ$ the coil is rotated through 180°

=-BA Wb

Therefore, estimated value of the induced emf (E) as per Faraday's law is,

$\text{E}=\frac{\text{N}}{\text{t}}=\frac{\text{N}(\text{BA-(-BA}))}{\text{t}}=\frac{\text{2NBA}}{\text{t}}........(\text{i})$

Further, $\text{E}=\text{IR}=\frac{\text{QR}}{\text{t}}............(\text{ii})$

From (i) & (ii)

$\text{Q}=\frac{\text{2NBA}}{\text{R}}=\frac{2\times2000\times4\times10^{-5}\times500\times10^{-4}}{20}=4\times10^{-4}\text{C}$

MCQ 271 Mark
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.
  • B
    l decreases and A increases.
  • C
    l increases and A decreases.
  • D
    Both l and A decrease.
Answer
  1. l decreases and A increases.

Solution:

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)

  1. No. of turns: Larger the number of turns in solenoid, larger is its self inductance.
  2. Area of cross section: Larger the area of cross section of the solenoid, larger is its self inductance.
  3. 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.

If a spark is produced on removing the load from an AC circuit then the element connected in the circuit is.
  • A
    high resistance
  • B
    high capacitance
  • C
    high inductance
  • D
    high impedance
Answer
  1. high inductance

Explanation:

On removal of load from the circuit, the circuit suddenly becomes an open circuit.

Thus $\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}\rightarrow\infty$

For sparking, high voltage must appear across the open ends. This will happen only in case of an inductor as the voltage drop across the

inductor is $\text{L}\frac{\text{di}}{\text{dt}}$

Therefore, the circuit has high inductance.

A metal plate is getting heated. It can be because:
  • A
    A direct current is passing through the plate.
  • B
    It is placed in a time varying magnetic field.
  • C
    It is placed in a space varying magnetic field, but does not vary with time.
  • D
    A current (either direct or alternating) is passing through the plate.
Answer
  1. A direct current is passing through the plate.
  2. It is placed in a time varying magnetic field.
  1. a current (either direct or alternating) is passing through the plate.

Solution:

Key concept: Eddy Current: When a changing magnetic flux is applied to a bulk piece of conducting material, then circulating currents called eddy currents are induced in the material. Because the resistance of the bulk conductor is usually low, eddy currents often have large magnitudes and heat up the conductor.

  1. These are circulating currents like eddies in water.
  2. Experimental concept is given by Focault, hence also named as "Focault current".
  3. The production of eddy currents in a metallic block leads to the loss of electric energy in the form of heat.
  4. By lamination, slotting processes, the resistance path for circulation of eddy current increases, resulting into weakening them and also reducing losses causes by them.

​​​​​​​

A metal plate is getting heated when a DC or AC current is passed through the plate, known as heating effect of current. This current (called eddy current) is induced in the plate when a metal plate is subjected to a time varying magnetic field, i.e., the magnetic flux linked with the plate changes and eddy currents comes into existence which make the plate hot.

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
  • D
    all of the above
Answer
  1. all of the above

Explanation:

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.

The coefficient of self induction of a coil is given by.
  • A
    $\text{L}=\Big(-\frac{\text{dI}}{\text{dt}}\Big)$
  • 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
  1. $\text{L}=\Big(-\frac{\text{dI}}{\text{dt}}\Big)$

Explanation:

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.

$\text{L}=\Big(-\frac{\text{dI}}{\text{dt}}\Big)$
