Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: A square of side L metres lies in the x-y plane in a region where the magnetic field is B = B0(2 î + 3 ĵ + 4 k̂) T, where B0 is constant. The magnitude of the flux passing through the square is:
(a) 2B0L² Wb
(b) 3B0L² Wb
(c) 4B0L² Wb
(d) √29 B0L² Wb
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 4B0L² Wb

Explanation:
1. The area vector is along k̂, so only the z-component of B contributes.
2. \( \Phi=\vec B\cdot\vec A=4B_0L^2\ \text{Wb} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. Flux is B.A, so only the component of B along the area vector counts.

Question 2: A rectangular loop of size 2 m × 1 m is placed in the x-y plane. A uniform but time varying magnetic field B = (20t î + 10t² ĵ + 50 k̂) T acts, where t is the time in seconds. The magnitude of the induced emf (in V) at time t is:
(a) 20 + 20t
(b) 20
(c) 20t
(d) Zero
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) Zero

Explanation:
1. Only the z-component of B passes through the loop (area vector along z).
2. B_z = 50 T is constant, so the flux does not change and the emf is zero.

Teacher's Note:
1. Induced emf needs a changing flux through the loop; the changing components lie in the plane of the loop.

Question 3: An ideal inductor of 10 H is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and a battery of 5 V. Two seconds after the connection is made, the current flowing in the circuit (in ampere) is:
(a) \( (1-e) \)
(b) e
(c) \( e^{-1} \)
(d) \( (1-e^{-1}) \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( (1-e^{-1}) \)

Explanation:
1. \( I=\frac{E}{R}\left(1-e^{-Rt/L}\right)=1\cdot\left(1-e^{-5\times2/10}\right)=1-e^{-1} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. Growth of current in an LR circuit has time constant L/R = 2 s.

Question 4: A choke coil should have:
(a) High inductance and high resistance
(b) Low inductance and low resistance
(c) High inductance and low resistance
(d) Low inductance and high resistance
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) High inductance and low resistance

Explanation:
1. A choke reduces AC current through its large inductive reactance XL = ωL.
2. Low resistance keeps the power loss small.

Teacher's Note:
1. A choke controls AC without wasting power, so it needs high L and low R.

Question 5: In an LR circuit the current at t = 0 is 20 A. After 2 s it reduces to 18 A. The time constant of the circuit (in seconds) is:
(a) \( \ln\frac{10}{9} \)
(b) 2
(c) \( \frac{2}{\ln(10/9)} \)
(d) \( 2\ln\frac{10}{9} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \frac{2}{\ln(10/9)} \)

Explanation:
1. \( 18=20e^{-2/\tau}\Rightarrow\frac{2}{\tau}=\ln\frac{10}{9} \)
2. \( \tau=\frac{2}{\ln(10/9)} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. Decay of current is exponential: I = I0 e^(−t/τ).

Question 6: The self inductance L of a solenoid of length l and area of cross-section 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
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) l decreases and A increases

Explanation:
1. \( L=\frac{\mu_0N^2A}{l} \) with N fixed.
2. L grows when A increases and when l decreases.

Teacher's Note:
1. Self inductance is proportional to the area and inversely proportional to the length.

Question 7:
Assertion (A): A bulb connected in series with a solenoid is connected to an AC source. If a soft iron core is introduced in the solenoid, the bulb will glow brighter.
Reason (R): On introducing a soft iron core in the solenoid, the inductance increases.
(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true, but R is false.
(d) A is false, but R is true.
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) A is false, but R is true.

Explanation:
1. The iron core raises the inductance, so the reactance XL = ωL rises (reason true).
2. A larger XL reduces the current, so the bulb glows dimmer and the assertion is false.

Teacher's Note:
1. More inductance means more opposition to AC and less bulb current.

Question 8: In a uniform magnetic field of induction B, a wire in the form of a semicircle of radius r rotates about the diameter of the circle with angular frequency ω. If the total resistance of the circuit is R, the mean power generated per period of rotation is:
(a) \( \frac{B\pi r^2\omega}{2R} \)
(b) \( \frac{(B\pi r^2\omega)^2}{8R} \)
(c) \( \frac{(B\pi r\omega)^2}{2R} \)
(d) \( \frac{(B\pi r\omega^2)^2}{8R} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \frac{(B\pi r^2\omega)^2}{8R} \)

Explanation:
1. Flux \( \Phi=\frac{B\pi r^2}{2}\cos\omega t \), so peak emf \( \varepsilon_0=\frac{B\pi r^2\omega}{2} \).
2. \( \bar P=\frac{\varepsilon_0^2}{2R}=\frac{(B\pi r^2\omega)^2}{8R} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. Mean power of a sinusoidal emf is ε0²/2R.

Question 9: Two coaxial solenoids are made by winding thin insulated wire over a pipe of cross-sectional area A = 10 cm² and length 20 cm. If one of the solenoids has 300 turns and the other 400 turns, their mutual inductance is (μ0 = 4π × 10⁻⁷ T m A⁻¹):
(a) \( 2.4\pi\times10^{-5}\ \text{H} \)
(b) \( 4.8\pi\times10^{-4}\ \text{H} \)
(c) \( 4.8\pi\times10^{-5}\ \text{H} \)
(d) \( 2.4\pi\times10^{-4}\ \text{H} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( 2.4\pi\times10^{-4}\ \text{H} \)

Explanation:
1. \( M=\frac{\mu_0N_1N_2A}{l}=\frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times300\times400\times10^{-3}}{0.2} \)
2. \( =2.4\pi\times10^{-4}\ \text{H} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. Mutual inductance of coaxial solenoids is μ0N1N2A/l.

Question 10: A fighter plane of length 20 m, wing span 15 m and height 5 m is flying towards east over Delhi at a speed of 240 m/s. The Earth's magnetic field over Delhi is 5 × 10⁻⁵ T with declination about 0° and dip θ such that sin θ = 2/3. If the voltage developed is VB between the lower and upper sides of the plane and VW between the tips of the wings, then VB and VW are close to:
(a) VB = 40 mV; VW = 135 mV with left side of pilot at higher voltage
(b) VB = 45 mV; VW = 120 mV with right side of pilot at higher voltage
(c) VB = 40 mV; VW = 135 mV with right side of pilot at higher voltage
(d) VB = 45 mV; VW = 120 mV with left side of pilot at higher voltage
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) VB = 45 mV; VW = 120 mV with left side of pilot at higher voltage

Explanation:
1. Vertical component \( B_V=B\sin\theta=3.33\times10^{-5}\ \text{T} \); horizontal component \( B_H=B\cos\theta=3.73\times10^{-5}\ \text{T} \).
2. Wing tips: \( V_W=B_Vv\ell=3.33\times10^{-5}\times240\times15=120\ \text{mV} \). Top-bottom: \( V_B=B_Hv h=3.73\times10^{-5}\times240\times5\approx45\ \text{mV} \).
3. In the northern hemisphere, flying east, the force on positive charges is towards the north, which is the pilot's left, so the left side is at higher potential.

Teacher's Note:
1. Wing span cuts the vertical component of the field; height cuts the horizontal component.

Teacher's Note:
1. Differentiate U = ½Li² with respect to time.

Question 12: A coil of inductance 1 H and negligible resistance is connected to a source of DC supply whose voltage is given by V = 4t. If the voltage is applied at t = 0, the energy stored in the coil in 4 s is (in J):
(a) 64
(b) 256
(c) 512
(d) 1024
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 512

Explanation:
1. \( L\frac{di}{dt}=4t\Rightarrow i=2t^2=32\ \text{A at }t=4\ \text{s} \)
2. \( U=\frac12Li^2=\frac12(1)(32)^2=512\ \text{J} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. Integrate V/L to get the current, then use U = ½Li².

Question 13: The flux linked with a coil at any instant t is given by φ = 10t² − 50t + 250. The magnitude of the induced emf at t = 3 s is (in V):
(a) 10
(b) 20
(c) 30
(d) 190
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 10

Explanation:
1. \( \varepsilon=\left|\frac{d\phi}{dt}\right|=|20t-50|=|60-50|=10\ \text{V} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. Faraday's law: emf is the rate of change of flux.

Question 14: A coil of inductance 8.4 mH and resistance 6 Ω is connected to a 12 V battery. The current in the coil is 1 A at approximately the time (take ln 2 = 0.7):
(a) 0.5 ms
(b) 1 ms
(c) 2 ms
(d) 500 ms
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 1 ms

Explanation:
1. Final current \( I_0=\frac{12}{6}=2\ \text{A} \), time constant \( \tau=\frac LR=1.4\ \text{ms} \).
2. \( 1=2(1-e^{-t/\tau})\Rightarrow t=\tau\ln2\approx1\ \text{ms} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. Current is half of its final value after τ ln 2.

Question 15: When the current in a coil changes from 5 A to 2 A in 0.1 s, an average voltage of 50 V is produced. The self-inductance of the coil, in henry, is:
(a) 1.67 H

(d) 12
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 6

Explanation:
1. Energy conservation: \( \frac12CV_0^2=\frac12CV^2+\frac12Li^2 \).
2. \( i^2=\frac{C(V_0^2-V^2)}{L}=\frac{2\times10^{-6}(144-36)}{6\times10^{-6}}=36\Rightarrow i=6\ \text{A} \)

Teacher's Note:
1. In an LC circuit the total energy is shared between the capacitor and the inductor.
