Multiple Choice Questions

Question 1: In an inductor of self-inductance L = 2 mH, the current changes with time according to \( i = t^{2} e^{-t} \). At what time is the emf zero?
(a) 4 s
(b) 3 s
(c) 2 s
(d) 1 s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) 2 s

Explanation:
1. \( e = -L \) di/dt and di/dt = \( (2t - t^{2}) e^{-t} \).
2. This is zero when \( 2t = t^{2} \), i.e. \( t = 2 s \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 2: Which of the following units denotes the dimensions ML²/Q², where Q denotes the electric charge?
(a) Wb/m²
(b) henry (H)
(c) H/m²
(d) weber (Wb)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) henry (H)

Explanation:
1. \( L \) = emf × \( t/I \) and [emf] = ML²T⁻²Q⁻¹, \( [I] \) = QT⁻¹, so \( [L] \) = ML²Q⁻². This is the dimension of henry.

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 3: A circular coil of radius 6 cm and 20 turns rotates about its vertical diameter with an angular speed of 40 rad/s in a uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude 2 × 10⁻² T. If the coil forms a closed loop of resistance 8 ohm, the average power loss due to Joule heating is
(a) \( 2.05\times10^{-3}\ \text{W} \)
(b) \( 1.23\times10^{-3}\ \text{W} \)
(c) \( 3.14\times10^{-3}\ \text{W} \)
(d) \( 1.80\times10^{-3}\ \text{W} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( 2.05\times10^{-3}\ \text{W} \)

Explanation:
1. \( e_0 \) = NBAω = \( 20 \times 0.02 \times \pi(0.06)^{2} \times 40 = 0.181 V \).
2. Mean power = \( e_0^{2}/(2R) = 0.0327/16 = 2.05 \times 10^{-3} W \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

1. By definition this is self induction.

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 5: When the strength of eddy currents is reduced, the dissipation of electrical energy into heat depends on the ____ A ____ of the strength of the eddy currents, so the heat loss is substantially ____ B ____. A and B refer to
(a) cube, increased
(b) inverse, increased
(c) inverse, decreased
(d) square, reduced
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) square, reduced

Explanation:
1. Heat produced is proportional to \( i^{2}R \), i.e. the square of the current.
2. Reducing the eddy currents therefore reduces the loss substantially.

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 6: Mutual induction is the production of an induced emf in a coil due to a change of current in
(a) the same coil
(b) a neighbouring coil
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) neither (a) nor (b)

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 8:
Assertion (A): Induced emf will always occur whenever there is a change in magnetic flux.
Reason (R): Current always is induced whenever there is a change in magnetic flux.

(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: (c) A is true, but R is false.

Explanation:
1. An emf is induced whenever the flux changes.
2. A current flows only if the circuit is closed, so the reason is false.

Teacher's Note:
1. Emf always, current only in a closed circuit.

Question 9: The north pole of a long horizontal bar magnet is being brought closer to a vertical conducting plane along the perpendicular direction. The direction of the induced current in the conducting plane (viewed from the magnet side) will be
(a) horizontal
(b) vertical
(c) clockwise
(d) anticlockwise
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) anticlockwise

Explanation:
1. The induced eddy currents must produce a north pole facing the magnet to repel it.
2. A north-pole face carries anticlockwise current when viewed from that side.

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 10: The north pole of a bar magnet is moved towards a coil along the axis passing through the centre of the coil and perpendicular to its plane. The direction of the induced current in the coil when viewed in the direction of the motion of the magnet is
(a) clockwise
(b) anti-clockwise
(c) no current in the coil
(d) either clockwise or anti-clockwise
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) anti-clockwise

Explanation:
1. The face nearest the magnet must become a north pole to repel it.
2. Viewed from the magnet's side, a north-pole face has an anti-clockwise current.

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 11:
Assertion (A): The acceleration of a magnet falling through a long solenoid decreases.
Reason (R): The induced current produced in a circuit always flows in such a direction that it opposes the change or the cause that produced it.
(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: (a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:
1. The current induced in the solenoid opposes the motion of the magnet, so the net downward acceleration is reduced.
2. This is Lenz's law, which explains the assertion.

Teacher's Note:
1. Induced current opposes the motion.

Question 12: Which of the following is not an application of eddy currents?
(a) induction furnace
(b) dead beat galvanometer
(c) speedometer
(d) X-ray crystallography
Show Answer & Explanation

(a) B l v
(b) B l v cos θ
(c) B l v sin θ
(d) B l v tan θ
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) B l v sin θ

Explanation:
1. Only the component of \( v \) perpendicular to the rod, \( v \sin \theta \), cuts the field lines.
2. So emf = \( B l v \sin \theta \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 14: A metallic square loop ABCD moves to the right in its own plane with velocity v in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to its plane. AD is the left side and BC the right side; AB and CD are parallel to the velocity. An electric field is induced
(a) in AD, but not in BC
(b) in BC, but not in AD
(c) neither in AD nor in BC
(d) in both AD and BC
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) in both AD and BC

Explanation:
1. The sides AD and BC move perpendicular to their length and cut the field lines, so each has a motional emf.
2. The two emfs oppose in the loop, so no net current flows.

Teacher's Note:
1. Each cutting side has an emf.

Question 15: A circular wire of radius r rotates about its own axis (perpendicular to its plane) with angular velocity ω in a magnetic field B perpendicular to its plane. The induced emf is
(a) \( \tfrac12Br\omega^2 \)
(b) \( Br\omega^2 \)
(c) \( 2Br\omega^2 \)
(d) zero
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) zero

1. The flux through the wire does not change as it rotates about its own axis, so the emf is zero.

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

(a) Lenz's law
(b) Faraday's law
(c) Coulomb's law
(d) Ampere's law
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Faraday's law

Explanation:
1. Faraday's law of induction describes emf produced by a change of flux, including that due to motion.

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

(a) 1.26 V
(b) 2.16 V
(c) 3.24 V
(d) 4.12 V
Show Answer & Explanation

(b) \( -\frac{n(W_2-W_1)}{5Rt} \)
(c) \( -\frac{W_2-W_1}{5Rnt} \)
(d) \( -\frac{n(W_2-W_1)}{Rt} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( -\frac{n(W_2-W_1)}{5Rt} \)

Explanation:
1. \( e = -n(W2 - W1)/t \).
2. The total resistance is \( R + 4R = 5R \), so I = -n(W2 - W1)/(5Rt).

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 21: Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an induced emf is produced in the circuit. The emf lasts I. for a short time, II. for a long time, III. so long as the change in flux takes place. The correct statement(s) is/are

(b) induced current, support, long time
(c) mechanical energy, oppose, long time
(d) eddy currents, oppose, quickly
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) eddy currents, oppose, quickly

Explanation:

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

(a) clockwise
(b) zero
(c) counter clockwise
(d) in a direction that depends on the ratio of the loop radii
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) counter clockwise

Explanation:
1. The increasing clockwise current increases the inward (into the page) flux through the inner loop.
2. The induced current produces an opposing field, so it is counter clockwise.

Teacher's Note:
1. Recall the basic law.

Question 24: An induction furnace makes use of
(a) self induction
(b) mutual induction
(c) eddy currents
(d) none of these

2. The reason gives the correct explanation.

Teacher's Note:
1. \( L \) is proportional to \( N^{2} \).
