A metallic loop is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field. Will an emf be induced in the loop?
Given that the magnetic field is non-uniform. The magnetic field will not be uniform throughout the area of the loop. Due to non-uniformity, the magnetic flux lines will be random. In random motion, the filed does not vary with time. If there is no change in the magnetic field, it can’t induce emf in the loop. So if the metallic loop is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, the filed will not induce emf in it. Thus, Non-uniform magnetic field does not induce the emf.
An inductor is connected to a battery through a switch. Explain why the emf induced in the inductor is much larger when the switch is opened as compared to the emf induced when the switch is closed.
In the above circuit, the inductor is connected to a battery through a switch. In that when the switch is closed, the current will induce in the circuit. The magnetic flux will be increased. Change in flux will induce emf. When the switch has opened the drop in the current occur is more than the increase in the current when the switch is closed.
Due to this large amount of emf is induced in the inductor when the switch is closed as compared to when the switch is opened.
The coil of a moving-coil galvanometer keeps on oscillating for a long time if it is deflected and released. If the ends of the coil are connected together, the oscillation stops at once. Explain.
If the two ends of the coil of the moving-coil galvanometer is connected together, then it will act as a closed loop. thus, the coil no longer acts as an inductor. Therefore, all oscillations stop at once.
While If the ends of the coil are not connected, then the coil will act as an indicator, it will oscillate up to the current in it decays slowly.
A short magnet is moved along the axis of conducting loops. Show that the loop repels the magnet if the magnet is approaching the loop and attracts the magnet if it is going away from the loop.
Lenz's law: The direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it.
See fig.(a). In that, the north pole is facing towards the loop. According to Lenz’s law, the direction of induced current will be anticlockwise. And the magnet is coming towards the loop. Then the flux through the loop will increase; it will create a magnetic field. This newly generated magnetic field will cancel the original magnetic field. Therefore the loops get repelled.
See fig.(b) in which the magnetic is moving away from the loop. It will lead to a decrease in the magnetic field intensity. Therefore, flux through the loop decreases. Therefore, flux through the loop decreases. According to Lenz's law in induced current produces a magnetic field in the opposite direction of the original field. Hence the loop attracts the magnet.
Two circular loops are placed coaxially but separated by a distance. A battery is suddenly connected to one of the loops establishing a current in it. Will there be a current induced in the other loop? If yes, when does the current start and when does it end? Do the loops attract each other or do they repel?
Let us consider the loops as A and B. When the battery is connected to loop A; the current will flow in a clockwise direction. So the direction of the magnetic field due to the current will be towards left as seen from the loop B. Due to a sudden change in flux through loop A, a current will induce in loop B. But it will only be induced for a moment when the current suddenly jumps from zero to a constant value. After it attained a constant value, there will be no induced current in loop B.
According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. So the induced current in loop B will be in the opposite direction to the magnetic field of loop A. So the direction of induced current in loop B will be in anticlockwise direction. And the current through loop B will end when the current through loop A becomes zero. Because the directions of the currents in the loops are opposite, they will repel each other.
The battery discussed in the previous question is suddenly disconnected. It a current induced in the A pivoted aluminium bar falls much more slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field than a similar bar of insulating material. loop? If yes, when does it start and when does it end?
When the battery is suddenly disconnected, a current induced in B due to a sudden change in the flux through it. But it is only induced for a moment when the current suddenly falls to zero. According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. So that the induced current is such that it increases the decrease magnetic field. Therefore, if the current in loop A is in a clockwise direction, then the induced current in loop B will also be the clockwise direction. Hence two loops will attract each other.
Conclusion: If two circular loops are placed coaxially. A battery is connected to one of the loops. After some time, the battery is disconnected then the loops will attract each other.
If the magnetic fields outside a copper box are suddenly changed, what happens to the magnetic field inside the box? Such low-resistivity metals are used to form enclosures which shield objects inside them against varying magnetic fields.
If the magnetic field is suddenly changing, it will induce eddy currents on the walls of the copper box. And because of these eddy currents there will be a magnetic field and that will be in the opposite direction. Copper is a good conductor of electricity, so a magnetic field due to eddy currents will have strong strength. This newly generated magnetic field will cancel the original magnetic field. So the magnetic field inside the box will become zero. In this way, the copper box will become a shield and protect the objects inside in it form varying magnetic fields.
Metallic (non-ferromagnetic) and nonmetallic particles in solid waste may be separated as follows. The waste is allowed to slide down an incline over permanent magnets. The metallic particles slow down as compared to the nonmetallic ones and hence are separated. Discuss the role of eddy currents in the process.
When solid waste (metallic and non-metallic particles) allowed to slide over a permanent magnet, an emf will be induced in metallic particles. According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. So the induced emf in the metallic particles will oppose the downward notion along the inclined plane of the permanent magnet. And non-metallic particles are free from these effects. In this way, metallic particles slow down and get separated from the non-metallic particles.
A pivoted aluminium bar falls much more slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field than a similar bar of insulating material. Explain.
Non-metallic or insulating materials are free of the effects of induced eddy currents or induced emf. According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. Means the induced eddy current opposes its cause. That’s why an aluminium bar will falls slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field.
A metallic bob A oscillates through the space between the poles of an electromagnet (figure). The oscillations are more quickly damped when the circuit is on, as compared to the case when the circuit is off. Explain.
When the circuit is on, eddy currents will produce on the surface of the metallic Bob. Eddy currents will generate thermal energy. Thermal energy comes as the loss of the kinetic energy of the Bob. Therefore, oscillations are more quickly damped when the circuit is on compared to when the circuit is of the bob.
Hence, oscillation is more quickly damped when the circuit is on compared to when the circuit is off.
Two circular loops are placed with their centres separated by a fixed distance. How would you orient the loops to have
(a) the largest mutual inductance
(b) the smallest mutual inductance?
(a) The largest mutual induction
Mutual induction will be larger when the two loops are placed coaxially. Then the flux through a loop due to another loop is large. Hence, we will get the largest mutual inductance.
(b) The mutual inductance will be small when the two loops are placed such that their axis are perpendicular to each other. The flux through the loop due to another loop will be small. Therefore, we will get the smallest mutual inductance.
Thus, we can conclude that to get the largest mutual inductance the loop has to place coaxially and to get smallest mutual inductance, the axis of the loops has to place perpendicularly.

Consider the situation shown in the figure. If the switch is closed and after some time it is opened again, the closed loop will show.
A. an anticlockwise current-pulse
B. a clockwise current-pulse
C. an anticlockwise current-pulse and then a clockwise current-pulse
D. a clockwise current-pulse and then an anticlockwise current-pulse
Let us consider tow points on the circuits A and B.
When the switch S is closed, the current will flow through A&B. Due to this magnetic field introduce in the loop.
According to Lenz’s law the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it.
So, the induced current will be in clockwise direction, and it opposes the increase in the magnetic field in the upward direction in the loop. When the switch S is opened, the current will fall due to this magnetic field in the loop will decrease. According to Lenz's law, the induced current will be in the anti-clockwise direction opposing the direction in the magnetic field in an upward direction in the loop.
If the switch is closed and after some time it is opened again, the closed loop will show a clockwise current-pulse and then an anticlockwise current-pulse
Solve the previous question if the closed loop is completely enclosed in the circuit containing the switch.
A. an anticlockwise current-pulse
B. a clockwise current-pulse
C. an anticlockwise current-pulse and then a clockwise current-pulse
D. a clockwise current-pulse and then an anticlockwise current-pulse
According to Lenz’s law, the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. So the induced current will be anticlockwise when the switch S is closed. When the switch S is open, the current will suddenly fall. Then the magnetic field at the centre of the loop will decrease. Then the induced emf will be in the clockwise direction.
If the closed loop is completely enclosed in the circuit containing the switch.
A bar magnet is released from rest along the axis of a very long, vertical copper tube. After some time, the magnet.
A. will stop in tube
B. will move with almost content speed
C. will move with an acceleration g
D. will oscillate.
The flux linked with the copper tube will change because of the motion of the magnet. This will produce an eddy current in the body of the copper tube. According to the Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it. So the induced Current will be in the opposite direction to the magnet field of the bar magnet. And it will slow the fall of the magnet. Then negative acceleration nothing retarding force will act on the bar magnet. If the velocity of the magnet is increased then the retarding force will also increase. And it will happen up to this retarding force is equal to the force of gravity. Then the total force acting on the bar magnet will become zero. Then the magnet will move with almost a constant speed. So option B is correct.
The figure shows a horizontal solenoid connected to a battery and a switch. A copper ring is placed on a frictionless track, the axis of the ring is along the axis of the solenoid. As the switch is closed, the ring will

For the circuit

Where
L is the self-inductance of the solenoid
I is the current in the solenoid.
The direction of the current in the loop is clockwise. When the switch is closed the current will flow in the circuit. Therefore, the current on the solenoid will be increase. Then it will induce a current in the copper ring which is placed along a axis of solenoid. According to Lenz’s law the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. So the induce current in the copper ring will be anticlockwise. Because of the opposite direction of the currents the ring will repel. So it will move away from the solenoid.

The induced emf will serve as a voltage source. The direction of the current is anticlockwise, according to Lenz’s law.
According to Lenz's law, the direction of the induced current is such that it opposes the magnetic field that has induced it.
Putting the value in the above equation, we get
The induced emf depends on the length of the wire but not on the shape of the wire.
If the wire is replaced by a semicircular wire, the induced emf will be same.

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 changes slightly because of the variation in resistance with temperature. During this period, the two loops
A. 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.
By the right-hand screw rule, the magnetic field will be towards the left side. Due to the increase in resistance with temperature, the current through the loop will decrease with time. This change in current will induce the current in loop B. According to Lenz’s law, the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. So the direction of induced current in loop B will be in a clockwise direction. Because of the directions of currents, they will attract each other.
Thus, Option A is correct.

Then the induced emf is given by
Because BA is constant
The induced emf does not depend on the varying current through the solenoid. The induced emf will be zero for a constant flux through the loop. So no current will be induced in the loop.

A bar magnet is moved along the axis of a copper ring placed far away from the magnet. Looking from the side of the magnet, an anticlockwise current is found to be induced in the ring. Which of the following may be true?
A. The south pole faces the ring and the magnet moves towards it.
B. The north pole faces the ring and the magnet moves towards it.
C. The south pole faces the ring, and the magnet moves away from it.
D. The north pole faces the ring, and the magnet moves away from it.
A bar magnet is moving along the axis of a copper ring. The movement of a magnet there will be a magnetic field. Then the current will be induced in the copper ring. It is observed that the current is in an anticlockwise direction looking from the magnet. Then the magnetic field induced in the copper ring will be towards the observer (We are observing the current direction form the magnet).
According to Lenz’s law, the induced current is such that it opposes the increase in the magnetic field that induces it. If the south pole faces the ring and the magnet is moving towards the then the current induced in the ring will be the clockwise direction. In the same case if the magnet is moving away from the ring, then the current will be in the anticlockwise direction. If the magnet is moving towards the ring and north pole is facing the ring, then the current induced in the ring will be in the anticlockwise direction. If the magnet is moving away from the ring, in this case, the induced current will be in a clockwise direction. So option B and C are correct.

i. The magnetic field is in the perpendicular direction to the velocity of the rod
ii. The magnetic field is in the perpendicular direction to the length of the rod
iii. The velocity of the rod is perpendicular to the direction to the length of the rod
In the above-mentioned conditions, only the potential difference across the two ends will be non zero.
In the given conditions in the A, B and C, the potential difference across the two ends is zero. So option D is correct.
A conducting loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field with its plane perpendicular to the field. An emf is induced in the loop if
A. it is translated
B. it is rotated about its axis
C. it is rotated about a diameter
D. it is deformed
Conducting loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field with its plane perpendicular to the field. An emf will be induced only when the magnetic flux changes. If there is no change in magnetic flux, then induced emf will be zero. An emf will be induced in the loop only when
i. The loop is rotated about a diameter
ii. Deforming the loop.
If the loop is deformed, the area of the loop inside the magnetic field changes. So magnetic flux will change leads to induce an emf. On rotating about its axis, the magnetic flux does not change. So an emf induced in the loop is zero.
Thus, Option C and D are correct.
A metal sheet is placed in front of a strong magnetic pole. A force is needed to
A. hold the sheet there if the metal is magnetic
B. hold the sheet there if the metal is non-magnetic
C. move the sheet away from the pole with uniform velocity if the metal is magnetic.
D. move the sheet away from the pole with uniform velocity if the metal is non-magnetic.
Neglect any effect of paramagnetism, diamagnetism and gravity.
A metal sheet is placed in front of the strong magnetic pole. This pole has q strong magnetic field. A strong magnetic pole will attract the magnet if the metal is magnetic then a force is needed to hold the metal sheet. If the metal is magnetic or not if we want to move the metal sheet away from that strong magnetic pole we need some force do it. Because of the movement, eddy currents will be induced in the sheet. These eddy currents produce thermal energy. Thermal energy comes at the cost of kinetic energy. Thus, the plates slow down. So we need a force to hold the sheet if the metal is magnetic. And also the sheet needs a force to move away from that strong magnetic filed even it is nonmagnetic.
So option A, C and D are correct.

A. The magnetic field at the centre
B. magnetic flux linked with the solenoid
C. self-inductance of the solenoid
D. rate of Joule heating.
The iron rod has high permeability. So if we insert the iron rod in the solenoid along its axis, the magnetic flux inside the solenoid will increases. The self-inductance of the coil is proportional to the permeability of the material inside the solenoid. Because of an increase in the permeability inside the coil, the self-inductance will also increase. Thus, a constant current I will be maintained in the solenoid. Then
1. magnetic field at the centre
2. Magnetic flux linked with the solenoid
3. self-inductance of the solenoid is increased if an iron rod is inserted in the solenoid along its axis.
Thus, option A, B and C is the correct option.

Current is zero at t=0, So magnetic field energy is also zero.
Therefore, power delivers by the battery is also zero at t=0.
At t=0, the current is on the verge to start growing in the circuit. So there will an induced emf at that time to oppose the growing current.
In the LR circuit, at time t=0 there will be an induced emf in the inductor. Exactly at t=0, the current, magnetic field and power delivered by the battery are zero.

Due to electromagnetic induction, the emf will be induced in the rod. Induced emf is given by the formula end A becomes more positive because the direction of the induced emf is from A to B. This is because of the magnetic field exerts a same force equal to on each of the electrons, where C. According to Fleming’s left hand rule (If a conductor is placed in a magnetic field then the force acting on the conductor is in the perpendicular direction to the magnetic field and current direction) the, end A becomes positive and, end B becomes negatively charged.
Conclusion: A rod AB moves with a uniform velocity v in a uniform magnetic field then the end A becomes positively charged.
