B Correct answer
Explanation

Two coils A and B have 200 and 400 turns respectively. A current of 1 A in coil A causes a flux per turn of 10−3 Wb to link with A and a flux per turn of 0.8×10−3 Wb through B. The ratio of self-inductance of A and the mutual inductance of A and B is $\dfrac{L _1}{L _2}=\dfrac{200*10^{-3}}{400*0.8*10^{-3}}=1/1.6$

A 60 volt - 10 watt bulb is operated at 100 volt - 60 Hz a.c. The inductance required is?

  1. 2.56 H

  2. 0.32 H

  3. 0.64 H

  4. 1.28 H
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

First, find the resistance of the bulb: R = V^2 / P = 60^2 / 10 = 360 ohms. The operating current is I = P / V = 10 / 60 = 1/6 A. When connected to 100V, the impedance Z = V_source / I = 100 / (1/6) = 600 ohms. Since Z^2 = R^2 + Xl^2, 600^2 = 360^2 + Xl^2. Xl^2 = 360000 - 129600 = 230400. Xl = 480 ohms. Since Xl = 2 * pi * f * L, 480 = 2 * 3.14 * 60 * L. L = 480 / 377 = 1.273 H, which rounds to 1.28 H.

Two coaxial coils are very close to each other and their mutual inductance is $5mH$. If a current $50sin{500t}$ is passed in one of the coils then the peak value of induced emf in the secondary coil will be

  1. $5000V$
  2. $500V$
  3. $150V$
  4. $125V$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

According to principle of mutual inductance, flux induced in coil  is equa to the current flowing in coil 1

$\phi _{2}= Mi _{1}$
By Faraday's laws,
$\dfrac{d\phi _{2}}{dt}=M\dfrac{di _{1}}{dt}$ = EMF
$\therefore EMF = 5\times 10^{-3}\dfrac{d}{dt}50 sin 500t$
$\therefore EMF = 125 cos500t$
So, maximum vaue of EMF would be 125 V

The coefficient of self induction of two inductor coils are $20mH$ and $40mH$ respectively. If the coils are connected in series so as to support each other and the resultant inductance is $80mH$ then the value of mutual inductance between the coils will be

  1. $5mH$
  2. $10mH$
  3. $20mH$
  4. $40mH$

B Correct answer
Explanation

$L _{total} = L _1 + L _2 + 2M$


$80 mH = 20 mH + 40 mH + 2M$

$\therefore M = 10 mH$

Multiple choice mutual inductance electromagnetic induction electromagnetic induction and alternating currents physics

A rectangular loop of sides 'a' and 'b' is placed in the XY plane. A very long wire is also placed in xy plane such that side of length 'a' of the loop is parallel to the wire. The distance between the wire and the nearest edge of the loop is 'd'. The mutual inductance of this system is proportional to?

  1. a

  2. b
  3. $1/d$

  4. Current in wire
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The mutual inductance M between a long wire and a rectangular loop is calculated by integrating the magnetic flux through the loop. The flux is proportional to the dimensions of the loop, specifically the side length 'a' parallel to the wire, because the magnetic field B varies with distance from the wire. Thus, M is proportional to 'a'.

A circular loop of radius $r$ is placed at the centre of current carrying conducting square loop of side $a$. If both loops are coplanar and $a >> r$, then the mutual inductance between the loops will be:

  1. $\dfrac{\mu _0r^2}{2\sqrt{2}(a)}$
  2. $\dfrac{\mu _0r^2}{4a}$
  3. $\dfrac{2\sqrt{2}\mu _0r^2}{\pi a}$
  4. $\dfrac{\mu _0r^2}{4\sqrt{2}a}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Both loops are coplanar. 

Magnetic field at the center of outer square current carrying loop is
${ B } _{ 1 }=\dfrac { 2\sqrt { 2 } { \mu  } _{ 0 }I }{ \pi a } $
where $a$= length of side of square loop and
$r$= radius of the circular loop.
Given $a>>r$,
The magnetic field through entire inner coil is ${ B } _{ 1 }$
Magnetic flux through inner coil, ${ \phi  } _{ 21 }={ B } _{ 1 }{ A } _{ 2 }$
        =$\dfrac { 2\sqrt { 2 } { \mu  } _{ 0 }I }{ \pi  } \dfrac { { r }^{ 2 } }{ a } $------ (1)
    Mutual induction, M= $\dfrac { \phi  }{ { I } _{ 1 } } $

From (1), M= $\dfrac { 2\sqrt { 2 } { \mu  } _{ 0 } }{ \pi  } \dfrac { { r }^{ 2 } }{ a } $

Hence, $M\alpha \dfrac { { r }^{ 2 } }{ a } $
