Question 2: A square metal wire loop of side 10 cm and resistance 1 \(\Omega\) is moved with a constant velocity \( v_0 \) in a uniform magnetic field of induction 2 Wb/m\(^2\), with the field lines perpendicular to the plane of the loop, so that only one side of the loop is cutting the field region at a time. The loop is connected to a network of five resistors of 3 \(\Omega\) each forming a balanced bridge. The speed needed for a steady current of 1 mA in the loop is
(a) 0.2 m/s
(b) 0.002 m/s
(c) 2 m/s
(d) 0.02 m/s
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 0.02 m/s

Explanation:
1. The balanced bridge (four 3 \( \Omega \) arms and a 3 \( \Omega \) diagonal carrying no current) has resistance \( \dfrac{6\times6}{6+6}=3\ \Omega \). Total resistance \( =1+3=4\ \Omega \).
2. \( \varepsilon=IR_{tot}=10^{-3}\times4=4\times10^{-3} \) V \( =Blv_0=2\times0.1\times v_0\Rightarrow v_0=0.02 \) m/s.

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 3: Two coils P and Q are separated by some distance. When a current of 3 A flows through coil P, a magnetic flux of \( 10^{-3} \) Wb passes through Q. No current passes through Q. When no current passes through P and a current of 2 A passes through Q, the flux through P is
(a) \( 6.67\times10^{-3}\ \text{Wb} \)
(b) \( 6.67\times10^{-4}\ \text{Wb} \)
(c) \( 3.67\times10^{-3}\ \text{Wb} \)
(d) \( 3.67\times10^{-4}\ \text{Wb} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( 6.67\times10^{-4}\ \text{Wb} \)

Explanation:
1. Mutual inductance: \( M=\dfrac{\Phi_{Q}}{I_P}=\dfrac{10^{-3}}{3} \) H.
2. By reciprocity \( \Phi_P=MI_Q=\dfrac{10^{-3}}{3}\times2=6.67\times10^{-4} \) Wb.

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.

(a) \( L^2 \)
(b) \( L \)
(c) \( 1/L \)
(d) \( 1/L^2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) \( 1/L \)

Explanation:
1. \( L_{ind}=\mu_0n^2AL=\mu_0\dfrac{N^2}{L}A \) with \( n=N/L \).
2. For fixed N and A, \( L_{ind}\propto\dfrac1L \).

Teacher's Note:

Question 5: There are two long coaxial solenoids of the same length l. The inner and outer coils have radii \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) and numbers of turns per unit length \( n_1 \) and \( n_2 \) respectively. The ratio of the mutual inductance to the self-inductance of the inner coil is
(a) \( \dfrac{n_2}{n_1} \)
(b) \( \dfrac{n_2}{n_1}\cdot\dfrac{r_1}{r_2} \)
(c) \( \dfrac{n_2}{n_1}\cdot\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2} \)
(d) \( \dfrac{n_1}{n_2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \dfrac{n_2}{n_1} \)

Explanation:
1. Mutual inductance: \( M=\mu_0n_1n_2\pi r_1^2l \) (flux of the outer solenoid through the inner coil). Self-inductance of the inner coil: \( L_1=\mu_0n_1^2\pi r_1^2l \).
2. \( \dfrac M{L_1}=\dfrac{n_2}{n_1} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 6: A small square loop of wire of side l is placed inside a large square loop of wire of side L (\( L\gg l \)). The loops are coplanar and their centres coincide. The mutual inductance of the system is proportional to
(a) \( l/L \)
(b) \( l^2/L \)
(c) \( L/l \)
(d) \( L^2/l \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( l^2/L \)

Explanation:
1. Field at the centre due to the large loop: \( B\propto\dfrac{\mu_0I}{L} \), nearly uniform over the small loop.
2. Flux \( =Bl^2\propto\dfrac{\mu_0Il^2}{L} \), so \( M\propto\dfrac{l^2}{L} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 7: Two coils have self-inductances \( L_1=8 \) mH and \( L_2=2 \) mH. The current in one coil is increased at a constant rate, and the current in the second coil is also increased at the same constant rate. At a certain instant the power given to the two coils is the same. At that instant the current, the induced voltage and the energy stored in the first coil are \( i_1,\ V_1,\ W_1 \) and in the second coil \( i_2,\ V_2,\ W_2 \). Consider: (i) \( i_1/i_2=1/4 \); (ii) \( i_1/i_2=4 \); (iii) \( W_1/W_2=1/4 \); (iv) \( V_1/V_2=4 \). The correct statements are
(a) (ii), (iii) and (iv)
(b) (i), (ii) and (iv)
(c) (i), (iii) and (iv)
(d) (i) and (iii) only
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) (i), (iii) and (iv)

Explanation:
1. Same \( dI/dt \): \( V=L\dfrac{dI}{dt}\Rightarrow\dfrac{V_1}{V_2}=\dfrac{L_1}{L_2}=4 \) (iv).
2. Same power \( Vi \): \( \dfrac{i_1}{i_2}=\dfrac{V_2}{V_1}=\dfrac14 \) (i). Energy \( \tfrac12Li^2 \): \( \dfrac{W_1}{W_2}=\dfrac{8\times1}{2\times16}=\dfrac14 \) (iii).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 8: A uniform but time-varying magnetic field B(t) exists in a circular region of radius a, directed into the plane of the paper. The magnitude of the induced electric field at a point P at a distance r from the centre of the circular region, with \( r\gt a \), is
(a) \( \text{decreasing as }1/r \)
(b) zero
(c) \( \text{increasing as }r \)
(d) \( \text{decreasing as }1/r^2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \( \text{decreasing as }1/r \)

Explanation:
1. Apply \( \oint\vec E\cdot d\vec l=-\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt} \) to a circle of radius r: outside the field region the flux is \( B\pi a^2 \).
2. \( E\cdot2\pi r=\pi a^2\dfrac{dB}{dt}\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{a^2}{2r}\dfrac{dB}{dt}\propto\dfrac1r \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 9: An L-R circuit has a battery of emf E, a resistor R and an inductor L in series. The switch is closed at t = 0. The charge that passes through the battery between t = 0 and \( t=L/R \) is
(a) \( \dfrac{2.7EL}{R^2} \)
(b) \( \dfrac{EL}{2.7R^2} \)
(c) \( \dfrac{7.3EL}{R^2} \)
(d) \( \dfrac{EL}{7.3R^2} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) \( \dfrac{EL}{2.7R^2} \)

Explanation:
1. \( i=\dfrac ER\left(1-e^{-Rt/L}\right) \), so \( q=\int_0^{L/R}i\,dt=\dfrac ER\left[t-\dfrac LR\left(1-e^{-Rt/L}\right)\right]_0^{L/R} \).
2. \( q=\dfrac ER\cdot\dfrac LR\,e^{-1}=\dfrac{EL}{eR^2}\approx\dfrac{EL}{2.7R^2} \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 10: A 20 H inductor coil is connected in series with a 10 ohm resistance and a battery. The time at which the rate of dissipation of energy (Joule heat) in the resistance equals the rate at which magnetic energy is stored in the inductor is
(a) \( \dfrac{2}{\ln2} \)
(b) \( \dfrac12\ln2 \)
(c) \( \ln2 \)
(d) \( 2\ln2 \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \( 2\ln2 \)

Explanation:
1. \( \tau=\dfrac LR=2 \) s and \( i=\dfrac ER(1-e^{-t/\tau}) \).
2. Heat rate \( =i^2R \), magnetic energy rate \( =Li\dfrac{di}{dt} \). Equal when \( iR=L\dfrac{di}{dt} \), i.e. \( E(1-e^{-t/\tau})=Ee^{-t/\tau}\Rightarrow e^{-t/\tau}=\dfrac12 \), so \( t=\tau\ln2=2\ln2 \).

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 11: An ideal battery of 15 V is connected through a switch to two parallel branches: one branch contains a resistor R = 5 \(\Omega\) in series with an inductor L = 2 mH, and the other branch contains a resistor R = 5 \(\Omega\). The current through the battery a long time after the switch is closed is
(a) 6 A
(b) 3 A
(c) 5.5 A
(d) 7.5 A
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) 6 A

Explanation:
1. After a long time the inductor behaves as a plain wire (no back emf).
2. The branches are then 5 \( \Omega \) and 5 \( \Omega \) in parallel: \( 2.5\ \Omega \), so \( I=\dfrac{15}{2.5}=6 \) A.

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 12: In an L-R circuit with a battery, point C is connected to point A until the current through the resistor R and inductor L becomes constant. Afterwards C is suddenly disconnected from A and connected to B at t = 0, so the L-R loop has no battery. The ratio of the voltage across the resistance to that across the inductor at \( t=L/R \) is equal to
(a) \( \dfrac{e}{1-e} \)
(b) 1
(c) -1
(d) \( \dfrac{1-e}{e} \)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) -1

Explanation:
1. With no source in the loop, Kirchhoff's law gives \( V_R+V_L=0 \) at every instant.
2. Therefore \( V_R/V_L=-1 \), at \( t=L/R \) as at any other time.

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 13: A coil of inductance 8.4 mH and resistance 6 \(\Omega\) is connected to a 12 V battery. The current in the coil is 1 A at approximately the time
(a) 500 s
(b) 20 s
(c) 35 ms
(d) 1 ms
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 1 ms

Explanation:
1. \( I=\dfrac VR\left(1-e^{-t/\tau}\right)=2(1-e^{-t/\tau}) \) with \( \tau=\dfrac{8.4\times10^{-3}}{6}=1.4 \) ms.
2. \( I=1 \) A gives \( e^{-t/\tau}=\dfrac12\Rightarrow t=\tau\ln2=0.97\approx1 \) ms.

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.

Question 14: A capacitor is charged to voltage V through a resistance R with the switch \( S_1 \) closed and \( S_2 \) open (time constant \( \tau=RC \)). Which statement is correct?
(a) After a time \( \tau \) the charge on the capacitor is \( CV/2 \)
(b) After a time \( 2\tau \) the charge on the capacitor is \( CV(1-e^{-2}) \)
(c) After a time \( 2\tau \) the charge on the capacitor is \( CV(1-e^{-1}) \)
(d) The work done by the source is half the heat dissipated when the capacitor is fully charged
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) After a time \( 2\tau \) the charge on the capacitor is \( CV(1-e^{-2}) \)

Explanation:
1. \( q=CV(1-e^{-t/\tau}) \): at \( t=\tau \), \( q=0.63\,CV \); at \( t=2\tau \), \( q=CV(1-e^{-2}) \).
2. The source does work \( CV^2 \) while the capacitor stores \( \tfrac12CV^2 \) and the resistor dissipates \( \tfrac12CV^2 \): the work done is twice the heat, not half.

Teacher's Note:
1. Write Faraday's law (or the circuit equation) first and identify what is changing, flux, area, field or current.
2. Use Lenz's law only to fix the direction, then check the limiting case.
