B Correct answer
Explanation

Mutual inductance M = Phi_B / I_A. Given Phi_B = 9.0 * 10^-5 Wb and I_A = 3.0 A, M = (9.0 * 10^-5) / 3.0 = 3.0 * 10^-5 H.

The inductance of a solenoid $0.5\ m$ long of cross-sectional area $20\ cm^2$ and with $500$ turns is

  1. $12.5\ mH$
  2. $1.25\ mH$
  3. $15.0\ mH$
  4. $0.12\ mH$

B Correct answer
Explanation

The self-inductance of a solenoid is given by L = (mu_0 * N^2 * A) / l. Substituting N = 500, A = 20 cm^2 = 20 x 10^-4 m^2, and l = 0.5 m gives L = (4 * pi * 10^-7 * 500^2 * 20 * 10^-4) / 0.5 = 1.25 x 10^-3 H = 1.25 mH.

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

Two coils are placed close to each other. The mutual inductance of the pair of coils depend upon :

  1. the currents in the two coils

  2. the rates at which currents are changing in the two coils

  3. relative position and orientation of the two coils

  4. the materials of the wires of the coil

C Correct answer
Explanation

Mutual inductance between two coils is defined as the property of the coil due to which it opposes the change of current in the other coil. When the current in the neighboring coil changes, the flux sets up in the coil and because of this, changing flux emf is induced in the coil called Mutually Induced emf. 

So, it depends on the relative position and orientation of two coils.

A Correct answer
Explanation

As per the Faraday's experiments, a current in a conductor produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field gets linked with another conductor and result in an induced emf.

For a current carrying inductor, emf associated in $20mV$. Now, current through it changes from $6A$ to $2A$ in $2s$. The coefficient of mutual inductance is 

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

B Correct answer
Explanation

$\displaystyle \left | e \right |=L\frac{dI}{dt}$
Here, $\displaystyle e=20mV=20\times 10^{-3}V$
Coefficient of mutual inductance,
$ 20\times 10^{-3}=L\times 2$
$\displaystyle \therefore L=10\times 10^{-3}=10mH$

  2. $5.3\times {10}^{-5}H$
  3. $5.91\times {10}^{-3}H$
  4. $8.3\times {10}^{-5}H$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

As $M = \cfrac{\mu _0N _1N _2A}{l}$


where,
$A =$ common cross-sectional area
$l =$ length of small coil
$N _1 =$ No. of turns of small coil
$N _1 =$ No. of turns of long coil

$M = \cfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 100 \times 1500 \times \pi \times (\cfrac{2}{100})^2}{(\cfrac{4}{100})} = 59157.6 \times 10^{-7} = 5.91 \times 10^{-3} H$
