2nd PUC Physics Question Bank Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 3
Answer:
(a) According to Lenz’s law, the end of the coil facing the S-pole of the magnet coil become S-pole so as to repel the approaching magnet. For this to happen, the current in the coil will flow in the direction QRPQ.

(b) For the coil on left: For the reason given in (a) the current in the left coil will flow in the direction PRQP.
For the coil on right: According to Lenz’s law, the end of the coil facing the N-pole of the magnet will become S-pole so as to attract the magnet moving away from it. For this to happen, the current in the coil will flow in the direction YZXY.

(c) When the tapping key is just closed, the current flow’s in the coil and hence magnetic flux linked with it starts growing. According to Lenz’s law, the induced current in the adjoining coil should set up in a direction so as to oppose the growth of magnetic flux linked with the coil. It will happen so, if the direction of magnetic field produced by the induced current in the adjoining coil is from right to left i.e. the induced current is produced in the direction YZX.

(d) Due to change in rheostat setting (resistance decreased), the current in the coil and hence magnetic flux linked with it, will start increasing. According to Lenz’s law, the induced current in the adjoining coil should set up in a direction. so as to oppose the increasing in magnetic flux linked with the coil. It will happen. So, if the direction of magnetic field produced by the induced current in the adjoining coil is from right to left i.e. the induced current is produced in the direction ZYX.

(e) Before releasing the tapping keg, the right end of the core is N-pole and the magnetic field linked with the coil is from left to right. As the tapping keg is released, the magnetic field linked with the coil will start collapsing. According to Lenz’s Law the induced current in the adjoining coil should set up in a direction so as to reinforce the collapsing magnetic field. It will happen so, if the direction of magnetic field produced by induced current in the adjoining coil is from left to right i.e. the induced current is produced in the direction XRY.

(f) The current flowing through the straight conductor produces magnetic field in the plane of the coil. Since no magnetic flux is linked with the coil, no induced current will be set up in the coil.

Question 2.
Use Lenz’s law to determine the direction of induced current in the situations described by Fig. 6.19:
(a) A wire of irregular shape turning into a circular shape;
(b) A circular loop being deformed into a narrow straight wire.
2nd PUC Physics Question Bank Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 4
Answer:
In Fig6.19 (a): When a wire of irregular shape turns into a circular (loop the magnetic flux linked with the loop increases due to increase in area) The irregular shape. The induced e.m.f. will cause current to flow in such a direction, so that the wire forming the loop is pulled in ward from all sides. It requires that current should flow.

In figure 6.19 (b): By applying Lenz’s Law, it follows that the current will flow in the direction a, d, c, b, a.

Question 3.
A long solenoid with 15 turns per cm has a small loop of area 2.0 cm2 placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current carried by the solenoid changes steadily from 2.0 A to 4.0 A in 0.1 s, what is the induced emf in the loop while the current is changing?
Answer:
The magnetic field produced inside the solenoid,
B = µ0 nl
If A is the area of the loop placed inside the solenoid, then magnetic flux linked with the loop,
Φ = BA = µ0 n IA
If e is the induced e.m.f. produced due to change in current through the solenoid, then

Question 4.
A rectangular wire loop of sides 8 cm and 2 cm with a small cut is moving, out of a region of uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.3 T directed normal to the
loop. What is the emf developed across the cut if the velocity of the loop is 1 cm s-1 in a direction normal to the (a) longer side, (b) shorter side of the loop? For how long does the induced voltage last in each case?
Answer:
2nd PUC Physics Question Bank Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 6
Here, B=0.3 T,V=1 cm S-1 10-2 ms-1
In the above expression, 1 is the length of the arm, which is perpendicular to the direction of motion.
(i) Direction of motion normal to longer side: Length of the longer side,
1 = 8 cm = 8 x 10-2 m
∴ e = BlV = 0.3 x 8 x 10-2 ×10-2 = 0.24 x 13-3V
= 0.24 mV
The.e.m.f. will last in the loop, till it does not get out of the magnetic field i.e. for the time the loop takes to travel a distance equal to the length of the shorter arm. If t is the time for which the e.m.f lasts in the loop, then
\(t=\frac { length\quad of\quad the\quad shorter\quad arm }{ V } =\frac { 2\times { 10 }^{ -2 } }{ { 10 }^{ 2 } } =2S\)

(ii) Direction of motion normal to the shorter side:
Length of the shorter side, 1 = 2 cm = 2 x 10-2m
∴ e = Blv = 0.3 x 2 x 102 x 10-2 = 0.06mV
The time for which the e.m.f. lasts in the loop,
\(t=\frac { length\quad of\quad the\quad longer\quad arm }{ V } =\frac { 8\times { 10 }^{ -2 } }{ { 10 }^{ -4 } } =8S\)

Question 5.
A 1.0 m long metallic rod is rotated with an angular frequency of 400 rad s-1 about an axis normal to the rod passing through its one end. The other end of the rod is in contact with a circular metallic ring. A constant and uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T parallel to the axis exists everywhere. Calculate the emf developed between the centre and the ring.
Answer:
The induced e.m.f. between the center and the circumference of the ring is given by
e = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) Bl2 ω[in magnitude]
Here, B = 0.5 T; 1 = tn; ω=400 rad s-1
∴e= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) x 0.5 x l2 x 400 = 100V

Question 6.

(a) What is the instantaneous value of the emf induced in the wire?
(b) What is the direction of the emf?
(c) Which end of the wire is at the higher electrical potential?
Answer:
Here, length of the wire, 1 = 10m;
Velocity of the wire, V = 5.0 ms1
Horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field,
BH = 0.30 x 10-4 Wb m-2
(a) Now,e = BHIv = 0.30 x l0-4x 10 x 5.0
=1.5 x 10-3 V
(b) The induced e.m.f. will be set up from west to east end.
(c) The eastern end will be at higher potential.

Question 9.
A pair of adjacent coils has a mutual inductance of 1.5 H. If the current in one coil changes from 0 to 20 A in 0.5 s, what is the change of flux linkage with the other coil?
Answer:
Hers, M = 1.5H; dl = 20-0 = 20A;
dt = 0.5 s
Now φ = MI
Or dφ= Mdl=1.5 x 20 = 30Wb.

Question 10.
A jet plane is travelling towards west at a speed of 1800 km/h. What is the voltage difference developed between the ends of the wing having a span of 25 m, if the Earth’s magnetic field at the location has a magnitude of 5 x 10-4 T and the dip angle is 30°?
Answer:
Here, v = 1,800 Km h-4
= 1,800 x [1,000 m] x [60 x 60 s]-1 = 500 ms-1
Earth’s magnetic field, B = 5.0 x 10-4 t;
angle of dip, 5 = 30°; length of the wing = 25 m
Now, Bv = B sin5 = 5.0x 10-4 sin 30°
= 2.5×10-4T
The vertical component [Bv] of the earth’s field is normal to both the wings and the direction of motion. Therefore, induced e.m.f. produced,
e = Bv x l x V = 2.5 x 500 = 3.125V.

Question 14.
Figure 6.20 shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of the rod = 15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed-loop containing the rod = 9.0 Assume the field to be uniform.

(a) Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of 12 cm s_1 in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf.
2nd PUC Physics Question Bank Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 14

(b) Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rods when K is open? What if K is closed?

(c) With K open and the rod moving uniformly, there is no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ even though they do experience magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain.

(d) What is the retarding force on the rod when K is closed?

(e) How much power is required (by an external agent) to keep the rod moving at the same speed (=12 cm s-1) when K is closed? How much power is required when K is open?

(f) How much power is dissipated as heat in the closed-circuit? What is the source of this power?

(g) What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular?
Answer:
Here, B = 0.50 T; 1 = 15 cm = 15 x 10-2 m;
R = 9.0m Q = 9.0 x 103 fl
(a) Now, e = Bvl
Here, V = 12 cm s-1 = 12 x 10-2 ms-1
∴ e = 0.50 x 12 x 10-2x 15 x 10 2 = 9 x 10-3V
If q is charge on as electron, then the electrons in the rod will experience magnetic Lorentz force \(-q[\vec { v } +\vec { B } ]\) P. Q. Hence, the end P of the rod will become positive and the end Q will become negative.

(b) When the switch K is open, the electron collect at the end Q. Therefore, excess change is built up at the end Q. However, when the switch K is closed, the accumulated charge at the end Q flows through the circuit,

(c) The magnetic Lorentz force on electron is cancelled by the electronic force acting on it due to the electronic field set up across the two ends due to accumulation of positive and negative charges at the ends P and Q respectively.

(e) When the switch K is closed, power required by the external agent against the retarding force,
P = Fv = 7.5×10-2×12×10-2 = 9×10-3W

(f) Power dissipated as heat
2nd PUC Physics Question Bank Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 16

The source of this power is the power of external agent against the retarding force,
P = Fv = 7.5×10-2 ×12×10-2= 9×10-3 W

(g) The motion of rod does not cut field lines, hence no induced e.m.f. is produced.
