Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: A circular disc of area 0.2 m² is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 1 Wb/m² in such a way that its axis makes an angle of 60° with the magnetic field. The magnetic flux linked with the disc is
(a) 0.8 Wb
(b) 0.1 Wb
(c) 0.2 Wb
(d) 0.6 Wb
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 0.1 Wb

Explanation:
1. \( \phi = BA\cos60^\circ = 1\times0.2\times0.5 \).
2. \( \phi = 0.1 \) Wb.

Teacher's Note:
1. The axis is the normal to the disc, so the angle with B is used directly.

Question 2: In a coil of resistance 20 Ω, the induced current developed by changing magnetic flux through it rises uniformly from zero to 2 A in 0.1 s. The magnitude of change in flux through the coil is
(a) 6 Wb
(b) 4 Wb
(c) 8 Wb
(d) 2 Wb
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 2 Wb

Explanation:
1. \( \Delta\phi = R\int i\,dt = R\times\text{area under the }i\text{–}t\text{ graph} \).
2. Area \( = \tfrac12\times2\times0.1 = 0.1 \) C.
3. \( \Delta\phi = 20\times0.1 = 2 \) Wb.

Teacher's Note:
1. Charge flowed equals the area under the current graph.
2. Flux change equals R times that charge.

Question 3: The dimensions of mutual inductance are
(a) \( ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2} \)
(b) \( ML^2T^{-1}A^{-1} \)
(c) \( MLT^{-1}A^{-1} \)
(d) \( MLTA^{-2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2} \)

Explanation:
1. \( U = \tfrac12MI^2 \), so \( [M] = [ML^2T^{-2}]/[A^2] \).
2. \( [M] = ML^2T^{-2}A^{-2} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Inductance and energy are linked by U = ½LI².

Question 4: If a bar magnet is dropped vertically into a long copper tube then its acceleration will
(a) remain constant
(b) continuously increase
(c) continuously decrease and finally become zero
(d) never become zero
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) continuously decrease and finally become zero

Explanation:
1. Eddy currents in the tube oppose the motion (Lenz's law).
2. The opposing force grows with speed until it equals the weight, so the acceleration falls to zero and the magnet reaches terminal velocity.

Teacher's Note:
1. Eddy current braking increases with speed.

Question 5: According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf in a coil is
(a) proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with it
(b) proportional to the magnetic flux linked with it
(c) proportional to the change of flux irrespective of the time taken
(d) independent of the number of turns
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with it

Explanation:
1. Faraday's law states \( \varepsilon = -N\,d\phi/dt \).
2. So the emf depends on the rate of change of flux and on N.

Teacher's Note:
1. Fast change of flux gives a larger emf.

Question 6: A bar magnet is held above a horizontal metal ring along the axis of the ring. If the magnet is dropped freely, the acceleration of the falling magnet is (g is acceleration due to gravity)
(a) more than g
(b) equal to g
(c) less than g
(d) depends on mass of magnet
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) less than g

Explanation:
1. Induced current in the ring opposes the approach of the magnet (Lenz's law).
2. The upward magnetic force on the magnet reduces its acceleration to below g.

Teacher's Note:
1. Lenz's law always opposes the cause.

Question 7: An aluminium ring faces the end of an electromagnet A and is placed coaxially with it. The current I through A can be altered. Which of the following statements is correct?
(a) If I decreases A will repel the ring
(b) Whether I increases or decreases, the ring will not experience any force
(c) If I increases A will repel the ring
(d) If I increases A will attract the ring
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) If I increases A will repel the ring

Explanation:
1. When I increases, the flux through the ring increases.
2. By Lenz's law the induced current opposes this, so the ring is repelled.

Teacher's Note:
1. Increase means repel and decrease means attract.

Question 8: A long straight wire carries a current vertically upward. A circular loop lies in the same plane to the right of the wire and is moved away from it with velocity v. The induced current in the loop will be (seen with the wire on the left)
(a) clockwise
(b) anticlockwise
(c) not induced
(d) none of them
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) clockwise

Explanation:
1. The field of the wire to its right points into the paper.
2. Moving away reduces the flux into the paper.
3. The induced current must restore it, so it produces a field into the paper, which is clockwise.

Teacher's Note:
1. Use the right hand grip rule for the wire, then Lenz's law.

Question 9: As shown in the figure, a magnet is brought towards a fixed coil. Due to this the induced emf, current and the charge that flows are E, I and Q respectively. If the speed of the magnet is doubled then the following statement is wrong
(a) E increases
(b) I increases
(c) Q does not change
(d) Q increases
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) Q increases

Explanation:
1. \( E\propto d\phi/dt \) doubles, so E and I increase.
2. \( Q = \Delta\phi/R \) depends only on the total change of flux, so Q does not change.
3. Therefore the statement 'Q increases' is wrong.

Teacher's Note:
1. Charge does not depend on the rate of change of flux.

Question 10: A magnet is suspended from a spring and when it oscillates, the magnet moves in and out of a coil C. The coil is connected to a galvanometer G. Then, as the magnet oscillates
(a) G shows no deflection
(b) G shows deflection to the left and right but the amplitude steadily decreases
(c) G shows deflection to the left and right with constant amplitude
(d) G shows deflection on one side
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) G shows deflection to the left and right but the amplitude steadily decreases

Explanation:
1. The changing flux induces an alternating emf, so G deflects both ways.
2. Induced currents dissipate energy as heat, so the oscillation damps and the deflection steadily decreases.

Teacher's Note:
1. Induced currents take energy from the oscillation.

Question 11: A coil of mean area 100 cm² and having 1000 turns is held perpendicular to a uniform field of 0.4 Gauss. The coil is turned through 180° in ½ second. The average induced e.m.f. is
(a) 0.04 V
(b) 0.4 V
(c) 1.6 mV
(d) 0.004 V
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 1.6 mV

Explanation:
1. \( B = 0.4\times10^{-4} \) T. The flux changes from \( +BA \) to \( -BA \), so \( \Delta\phi = 2NBA \).
2. \( \Delta\phi = 2(1000)(0.4\times10^{-4})(10^{-2}) = 8\times10^{-4} \) Wb.
3. \( \varepsilon = 8\times10^{-4}/0.5 = 1.6 \) mV.

Teacher's Note:
1. Turning through 180 degrees reverses the flux.
2. 1 Gauss is 10⁻⁴ T.

Question 12: A constant current i is maintained in a solenoid. Which of the following quantities will not increase if an iron rod is inserted in the solenoid along its axis?
(a) Magnetic field at the centre
(b) Magnetic flux linked with the solenoid
(c) Self inductance of the solenoid
(d) Power
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) Power

Explanation:
1. The iron core raises the permeability, so B, flux and self inductance all increase.
2. The power \( i^2R \) depends only on the current and the resistance, which are unchanged.

Teacher's Note:
1. Iron increases μ but not the resistance.

Question 13: A rectangular, a square, a circular and an elliptical loop, all in the x–y plane, are moving out of a uniform magnetic field with a constant velocity \( \vec v = v\hat i \). The magnetic field is directed along the negative z axis direction. The induced emf, during the passage of these loops, out of the field region, will remain constant for
(a) any of the four loops
(b) the rectangular and square loops
(c) the circular and the elliptical loops
(d) only the elliptical loop
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) the rectangular and square loops

Explanation:
1. The emf is \( B\ell v \), where ℓ is the length of the loop edge in the field perpendicular to v.
2. For rectangular and square loops ℓ is constant while leaving.
3. For circular and elliptical loops ℓ keeps changing.

Teacher's Note:
1. Constant width of the cutting edge gives constant emf.

Question 14: A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field 0.04 T with its plane perpendicular to the magnetic field. The radius of the loop starts shrinking at 2 mm/s. The induced emf in the loop when the radius is 2 cm is
(a) \( 1.6\pi\ \mu V \)
(b) \( 3.2\pi\ \mu V \)
(c) \( 4.8\pi\ \mu V \)
(d) \( 0.8\pi\ \mu V \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( 3.2\pi\ \mu V \)

Explanation:
1. \( \phi = B\pi r^2 \), so \( \varepsilon = 2\pi Br\,dr/dt \).
2. \( \varepsilon = 2\pi(0.04)(0.02)(0.002) = 3.2\pi\times10^{-6} \) V.

Teacher's Note:
1. Differentiate the area with respect to time.

Question 15: A coil of resistance 400 Ω is placed in a magnetic field. If the magnetic flux φ (Wb) linked with the coil varies with time t (sec) as φ = 100t² + 50, the current in the coil at t = 1 sec is
(a) 2 A
(b) 1 A
(c) 0.5 A
(d) 0.1 A
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 0.5 A

Explanation:
1. \( \varepsilon = d\phi/dt = 200t = 200 \) V at t = 1 s.
2. \( i = 200/400 = 0.5 \) A.

Teacher's Note:
1. Differentiate the flux, then use Ohm's law.

Question 16: A coil of resistance 10 Ω has a magnetic flux linked with it (counting all turns) of 5.5 × 10⁻⁴ Wb. If the magnetic flux changes to 5 × 10⁻⁴ Wb in 0.1 sec, then the induced charge in the coil is
(a) 50 µC
(b) 5 µC
(c) 2 µC
(d) 20 µC
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 5 µC

Explanation:
1. \( q = \Delta\phi/R \).
2. \( q = (0.5\times10^{-4})/10 = 5\times10^{-6} \) C = 5 µC.

Teacher's Note:
1. Charge is independent of time taken.

Question 17: One coil of resistance 40 Ω is connected to a galvanometer of 160 Ω resistance. The coil has radius 6 mm and 100 turns. This coil is placed between the poles of a magnet such that magnetic field is perpendicular to the coil. If the coil is dragged out then the charge through the galvanometer is 32 µC. The magnetic field is
(a) 6.55 T
(b) 5.66 T
(c) 0.655 T
(d) 0.566 T
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 0.566 T

Explanation:
1. \( q = NBA/R_{total} \), so \( B = qR/(NA) \).
2. \( A = \pi(6\times10^{-3})^2 = 1.131\times10^{-4} \) m².
3. \( B = (32\times10^{-6})(200)/(100\times1.131\times10^{-4}) = 0.566 \) T.

Teacher's Note:
1. Total resistance is coil plus galvanometer.

Question 18: A triangular current wave (the current rises linearly, then falls linearly, then rises again, and so on) is passed through the primary coil of a transformer. The nature of induced emf in the secondary coil will be
(a) a triangular wave of the same shape
(b) a square wave, alternating between a positive and a negative constant value
(c) an emf increasing linearly with time
(d) an emf decaying exponentially
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) a square wave, alternating between a positive and a negative constant value

Explanation:
1. \( \varepsilon = -M\,di/dt \).
2. The slope of the triangular wave is constant but alternates in sign, so the emf is an alternating constant: a square wave.

Teacher's Note:
1. The emf follows the slope of the current graph.

Question 19: Two coils have a mutual inductance 0.005 H. The current changes in the first coil according to the equation \( I = I_0\sin\omega t \), where \( I_0 = 2 \) A and \( \omega = 100\pi \) rad/sec. The maximum value of induced emf in the second coil is
(a) 4π V
(b) 3π V
(c) 2π V
(d) π V
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) π V

Explanation:
1. \( \varepsilon = M\,dI/dt = MI_0\omega\cos\omega t \).
2. Maximum \( = 0.005\times2\times100\pi = \pi \) V.

Teacher's Note:
1. The maximum of cosine is 1.

Question 20: A magnetic field directed into the plane of the paper, uniform over a circular region, increases with time. The pattern of induced electric field lines will be
(a) A.C.W. concentric circular field lines in the plane of the paper
(b) C.W. concentric circular field lines in the plane of the paper
(c) A.C.W. concentric circular field lines perpendicular to the plane of the paper
(d) C.W. concentric circular field lines perpendicular to the plane of the paper
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) A.C.W. concentric circular field lines in the plane of the paper

Explanation:
1. Induced electric field lines form closed circles in the plane perpendicular to B.
2. The induced current must produce a field out of the paper to oppose the increase, which requires anticlockwise circulation.

Teacher's Note:
1. Apply Lenz's law to find the circulation.

Question 21: A long solenoid of diameter 0.3 m has \( 2\times10^4 \) turns per metre. At the centre of the solenoid, a coil of 200 turns and radius 0.01 m is placed with its axis coinciding with the solenoid axis. The current in the solenoid reduces at a constant rate to 0 A from 4 A in 1 s. If the resistance of the coil is \( 2\pi^2\,\Omega \), the average current flowing through the coil during this time is
(a) 16 µA
(b) 32 µA
(c) 16π µA
(d) 32π µA
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 32 µA

Explanation:
1. \( B = \mu_0nI \), so \( \Delta B = 4\pi\times10^{-7}\times2\times10^4\times4 = 32\pi\times10^{-3} \) T.
2. Flux change \( = N\,\Delta B\,\pi r^2 = 200\times32\pi\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times10^{-4} = 64\pi^2\times10^{-6} \) Wb.
3. \( \varepsilon = 64\pi^2\times10^{-6} \) V and \( i = \varepsilon/R = 32\times10^{-6} \) A = 32 µA.

Teacher's Note:
1. The solenoid diameter is not needed.
2. Use the small coil area.

Question 22: A semicircular arc of radius R is placed in a uniform magnetic field (perpendicular to its plane) and is pulled with a constant velocity v. The diameter joining the ends of the arc makes an angle of 30° with the direction of the velocity. The induced emf in the arc is
(a) \( Bv(\pi R) \)
(b) \( Bv(2\pi R) \)
(c) \( Bv(2R) \)
(d) \( Bv(R) \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( Bv(R) \)

Explanation:
1. The emf of an arc equals that of the straight line joining its ends.
2. Effective length perpendicular to v is \( 2R\sin30^\circ = R \).
3. \( \varepsilon = BvR \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Use the chord, not the arc length.

Question 23: A conducting square frame of side a and a long straight wire carrying current I are located in the same plane. The nearest side of the frame is at a distance x from the wire. The frame moves to the right, away from the wire, with a constant velocity v. The emf induced in the frame will be proportional to
(a) \( \dfrac1{(2x-a)^2} \)
(b) \( \dfrac1{(2x+a)^2} \)
(c) \( \dfrac1{(2x-a)(2x+a)} \)
(d) \( \dfrac1{x(x+a)} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( \dfrac1{x(x+a)} \)

Explanation:
1. Only the two sides parallel to the wire have emf.
2. \( \varepsilon = \dfrac{\mu_0I}{2\pi}av\left[\dfrac1x-\dfrac1{x+a}\right] = \dfrac{\mu_0Iva^2}{2\pi x(x+a)} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Field of a long wire falls as 1/r, so the two sides give different emfs.

Question 24: A copper disc of radius 5 cm is rotating in a magnetic field B = 0.2 Gauss at 20 rev/s about its axis, the field being perpendicular to the disc. What will be the potential difference across periphery and centre of the disc?
(a) \( 20\pi\ \mu V \)
(b) \( 10\pi\ \mu V \)
(c) \( \pi\ \mu V \)
(d) \( 5\pi\ \mu V \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( \pi\ \mu V \)

Explanation:
1. \( \varepsilon = \tfrac12B\omega r^2 \).
2. \( = \tfrac12(0.2\times10^{-4})(2\pi\times20)(0.05)^2 = \pi\times10^{-6} \) V.

Teacher's Note:
1. ω = 2π times the frequency.
