Electromagnetic induction,
> Electromagnetic induction isthe process of generating the electric current with a changing magnetic fc,
> Ittakes place whenever a magnetic field is changing or electric conductors move relative to one
another when they are in fluctuating magnetic field,
> The current produced by electromagnetic induction is more when the magnet or coil moves
fastez, When magnet oF coil moves back and forth repeatedly, then alternating, current is,
produced.
Magnetic flux:
> Magnetic fax through an enclosed area is the number of magnetic eld lines cutting through a
surface area A, defined by unit area vector
‘The unit of magnetic flux is weber, where, 1 Wb = 1 Tim’
> Magnetic fx (fj) is related to number of field lines passing through a given area.
If magnetic field is changing, the changing magnetic flux will be $= NBA cos 0, where 0 is the angle between
-magnotic field and normal to the plane,

Faraday's Laws of Electromagnetic Induction
> The induced emf ina closed loop due to a change in magnetic flux through the loop is known as Faraday’s law,
> Faraday’s First Law of Electromagnetic Induction states that whenever a conductor is placed in varying magnetic
field, an emf is induced which is known as induced emf and if the conductor circuit is closed, current is also
induced which is called alternating current.
Faraday’s Second Law of Electromagnetic Inductior slates that the induced emt is equal to the rate of change
of flux linkage where flux linkage is the product of number of turns in the coll and dhux associated with the col,

‘Ap = Change in the magnetic flux NB], A = Change in time [5]
‘The negative sign indicates that e opposes its cause.
> If there is no change in magnetic flux, no emt is induces.
Induced emf and current
> A changing magnetic flux induces an electric field which induces a current in the circuit
> A wire moving inthe field induces a current which acts same as current provided by a battery.
> Changing magnetic flux and induced electric field are related to induced emf as per Faraday’s law.
> The induced EMF in a conductor moving is related to the magnetic field as E = [Link] @
Induced current
> When a conductor moves across flux lines, magnetic forces on the free electrons induce an electric current,
> When a magnet is moved towards a loop of wire connected to an ammeter, ammeter shows current induced in
the loop.
> When a magnet is held stationary, there will be no induced current in the loop, even though the magnet is inside
the loop,> When a magnet is moved away from the loop, the ammeter shows opposite current induced in the loop.

Explanation: The phenomenon of.
lectromagnetic induction is used in this
problem. Whenever the aumber of magnetic
lines of force (magnetic fx) passing through
a circuit changes (or a moving conductor cuts
the magnetic flux), an emf is produced in the
cireuit (or emf indueos across the ends of the
conductor) is called induced emf. The induced

Ans.
Ans,
When cylindrical bar magnet is rotated about
its axis, nochange in flux inked withthe circuit
takes place, consequently no emf induces and
thence, no current flows through the ammeter
A. Henee the ammeter shows no deflection,
‘There are two coils A and B as shown in figure. A

{B) Intensity of the bulb decreases
(©) Intensity of the bulb increases
{D) The bul ceases to glow.
Ans, Option (B) is correct
Explanation: When a soft ton core is inserted
in the inductor, the magnetic flux increases
‘According to Lenz's lav, it will be resisted
by reducing the current. Since the current
recluces the intensity of the bulb decreases,
(1 Mark each)
Explanation: In electromagnetic induction,
magnetic. energy, mechanical energy are
converted into electrical energy. So, Faraday's
laws of electromagnetic induction are direct
consequences of law of conservation of energy.
Hoonee assertion is true
In a LR circuit, L/R parameter has the
dimension of time. Hence the reason s false
Q.2, Assertion (A): When hwo identical loops of copper
and Aluminium are rotated with same speed in
the same magnetic field, the induced em wil be
Reason (R): Resistance ofthe two loops are equal.
‘Ans. Option (C) is correct.a3
Ans.
Ans.
Explanation: Induced ex. in a rotating loop
in a magnetic field depends on the area of the
loop, number of turns, speed of rotation and
‘magnetic fied strength. It does not depend
con the material of the coil $o, when two
identical loops of copper and aluminium are
rotated with same speod in the same magnetic
field, the induced em. will be same. So, the
assertion is true,
Resistance of the tw loops cannal be equal
Resistance of copper loop is less than that of
the aluminium loop. So, the reason is false,
Assertion (A): Lenz’s Jaw does not violets the
principle of conservation of energy.
Reason (R}: Induce ems never opposes the
change in magnetic flux that causes the em.
Option (C) is correct
Explanation: Lena's law is based on principle
‘of conservation of energy. So, the astertion is
trae.
Induced emf always opposes the change in
magnetic flux that causes the emf. So, the
reason is also fale.
I. Assertion (A): If the number of tums of coil i
increased, it becomes more difficult to push a bar
‘magnet towards the col.
Reason (R}: The difficulty faced is according to
Lens law.
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation: As ts tried to push a bar magnet
towards a coil, magnetic Mux i
According. to Faraday’s law induced emt. is
generated. As the number of turns increases,
induced ems increases.
According to Lenz's law, Induced em. always
‘opposes the change in magnetic flux that
‘causes the induction of e.m.f So, the induced
‘ean. will oppose the motion of the bar magnet
towards the coil, As the number of tums
increases, opposition increases. Hence both
asertion and reason are true and the reason
explains the assertion properly
5. Assertion (A): When the magnetic flux changes
around a metallic conductor, the eddy current is
produced
Reason (R): Flectsic potential determines the flow
of charge.
Option (B) is correct.
Qe
Ans.
ar
Ans.
Qs.
Ans.
Explanation: Change in flux induces emf in
conductor which generates eddy current. So
assertion is tue,
Fleetrie potential determines the flow of
change. So reason is also true, But reason is not
the proper explanation of generation of eddy
current,
Assertion (A): The cores of electromagnets are
made of soft iron.
Reason (R}: Coercvity of soft iron is small
Option (A) is correct
Explanation: The core of an electromagnet
should be such that it gets magnetized easily.
Also, it loses magnetism easily as soon as
the magnetizing field is removed. Soft iron
has this property. So, soft iron is used as
the core electromagnet. $0 the assertion is
true. Coercvity is a measure of the ability
fof a ferromagnetic substance to withstand
extemal magnetic ficld without becoming
demagnetized. For soft iron, it should be very
low. Coercivity is low for soft iron. So, reason
is also true. Also, reason properly explains the
assertion,
Assertion (A): Mutual inductance becomes
maximum when evils are wound on each other
Reason (R): Mutual inductance is independent of
orientation of coils.
Option (C) is correct.
Explanation: Mutual inductance depends on
size, number of turns, relative position and
relative orientation of the 2 coils. So, when
coils are wound on each other, the mutual
inductance will be maximum,
So, assertion is true, But the reason is fale.
Assertion (A): Self inductance may be called the
inertia of electricity,
Reason (R): Due to self inductance, opposing
induced em. is generated in a coil as a result of
change in current or magnetic flux linked with the
coll
Option (B) is correct.
Explanation: Inertia is defined as the tendency
of an abject to resists its change of state of
motion, Induced ems, in a coil is changed
by the change in current or magnetic flux.
‘The property by which a coil opposes these
parameters to incur any change in induced
em. is known as selfinductance, Hence,
ce may be called the inertia of
So, the assertion and reason both
are true but reason cannot explain why so
happens.CASE-BASED MCQs

Spark coil
‘The principle of electromagnetic induction was
discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831, Induction
coils were used widely in electrical experiments
tnd for medical therapy during the last half
of the 1th century, eventually leading. to the
development of radio inthe 189s.
The spark coil designed on the principle of
electromagnetic induction was the heart of the
earliest radio transmitters. Marconi used a spark
coil designed by Heinrich Rhumkorif in his early
experiments
‘An induetion coil or ‘spark coil’ is a type of
electrical transformer used to produce high-voltage
pulses from a low-voltage (DC) supply. To create
the flax changes necessary to inchuce vollage inthe
secondary coil, the direct current in the primary
coil is repeatedly interrupted by a vibrating
‘mechanical contact called interrupter.spark gap
‘armature
[>] capacitor
‘The spark scoil consists of two coils of insulated
‘wire wound around a common iron core. One coil,
called the primary coil is made from relatively few
(ons or hundreds) turns of coarse wire. The other
coil, the secondary coil typically consists of up toa
million turns of fine wire (up to 40 gauge).
‘An electric current is passed through the primary,
creating a magnetic field, Because of the common
core, most of the primary’s flux couples. with
the secondary. When the primary current is.
sucdenly interrupted, the magnetic field rapidly
collapses. This causes a high voltage pulse to
be developed across the secondary terminals
due to electromagnetic induction. Because of
the large number of turns in the secondary coil,
the secondary voltage pulse is typically many
thousands of volts. This vollage is sufficient to
create an electric spark, to jump across an air
gap separating the secondary’s output terminals,
For this reason, this induction coils are also called.
spark cols,
‘To operate the coil continually, the DC supply
current must be repeatedly connected and.
disconnected, To do that, a magnetically activated
vibrating arm called an interrupter is used which
rapidly connects and breaks the current flowing,
into the primary coil. The interrupter is mounted
con the end of the coil next to the iron core. When.
the power is turned on, the produced magnetic
fiold attracts the armature, When the armature
hhas moved far enough, contacts in the primary
circuit breaks and disconnects the primary current
Disconnecting theeurrent causes the magnetic field
to collapse and create the spark. A short time later
the contacts reconnect, and the process repeals.
