Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

As per mechanical-electrical analog, displacement is analogous to charge and force analogous to voltage.

From newton's second law of motion,
$F = m \cfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}$

For a diode, voltage and current are exponentially related and is non-linear.
For capacitance,  $V = \cfrac{Q}{C}$
For inductance, $V = L\cfrac{dI}{dt} = L\cfrac{d^2 q}{dt^2}$
For resistance, $V = IR = R \cfrac{dq}{dt}$

By comparing the above equations, it can be concluded that electrical analog of mass is inductance.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Given, $V=110v$ ,$P=10W$ ,$V _0=220 w$ ,$f=50Hz$

Current through series inductor,
Current through bulb=$\dfrac{P}{V}=\dfrac{10W}{110V}=0.09A$
Voltage across inductor,$V _{ind}=\sqrt{V _0^{2} -V^{2}}$=$\sqrt{220^{2}-110^2}=191V$
Reactance of inductor,$R=\dfrac{V _{ind}}{I}=\dfrac{191}{0.09}=2122.22$
Also,$R=2 \pi fL$ or $L$=$\dfrac{R}{2 \pi f}$=$\dfrac{2122.22}{2 \pi 50}$=$6.75H$

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

The coefficient of mutual inductance between two coils depends on

  1. medium between the coils

  2. separation between the two coils

  3. orientation of the two coils

  4. all of the above
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The flux linked with two coils will depend upon the angle between the two coils. If their planes are parallel, then magnetic flux from one would completely  pass through the other. If the planes are perpendicular, no flux due to any of the coils would flow through the other.

The size of the two coils may be different which will affect the number of lines crossing the coil. The medium, if magnetic, will concentrate the field lines. Thus, all parameters would affect the inductance between them.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Here, 

$l = r = 5\, cm = 5 \times 10^{-2} m,$
B = 1 Wb $m^{-2}$

$ \omega = 2 \pi \left( \dfrac{1800}{60} \right) \, rad \, s^{-1} = 60 \pi \, rad \, s^{-1},$

$\epsilon \, = \, \dfrac{1}{2} Bl^2 \omega \, =\, \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1 \times (5 \times 10^{-2})^2 \times 60 \pi = 0.23 V$

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

If the self inductance of 500 turns coil is 125 mH, then the self inductance of the similar coil of 800 mH

  1. 48.8 mH

  2. 200 mH

  3. 290 mH

  4. 320 mH
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

$L=\mu _o \mu _r N^2Al$
For similar coil, $A, l$ will be same 
So,   $ \, \dfrac{L _1}{L _2} = \dfrac{N _1^2}{N _2^2}$

$ L _{800}= \dfrac{N _{800} ^2}{N _{500}^2}\times L _{500}= \, \dfrac{125}{(500)^2} \, \times \, (800)^2 \, = \, 320 \, mH$

The mutual inductance $M _{12}$ of a coil 1 with respect to coil 2

  1. increases when they are brought nearer

  2. depends on the current passing through the coils.

  3. increases when one of them is rotated about an axis.

  4. both (a) and (b) are correct
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Mutual Induction: Whenever the current passing through a coil or circuit changes, the magnetic flux linked with a neighbouring coil or circuit will also change. Hence an emf will be induced in the neighbouring coil or circuit. This phenomenon is called ‘mutual induction’.


If the two coils $1$ and $2$ are present with mutual inductance $M _1$ and $M _2$. Then the mutual inductance of the coil 1 due to 2 increases when they are bought near since, mutual inductance is  proportional to the flux passed through the coil.

The mutual induction of $M _{12}$ is same as $M _{21}$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

1) Magnetic flux through any area is the scalar product of its area vector with the magnetic field vector. Thus for a coil, it is $\vec{B}.\vec{A}=BAcos\theta$

2) Emf induced in a coil due to changing flux through it is given by Faraday's Law,
$Emf = -N\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$
3) Force on a charged particle due to electric field = $q\vec{E}$
Force on a moving charged particle due to magnetic field = $q(\vec{v}\times \vec{B})$
Thus, force on a moving charged particle in an electric and magnetic field = $q(\vec{E}+\vec{v}\times \vec{B})$
4) Mutual inductance of a solenoid is found out to be : $\mu _r\mu _0n _1n _2\pi r _1^2l$
