  1. Self-induction

  2. Mutual induction

  3. Ampere's rule

  4. Fleming's right hand rule

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Induction coil works on the principle of mutual induction that an emf or current is induced in the second coil if the magnetic flux due to first coil linked with the second coil changes.

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 $0.8 \times 10^{-3}$ Wb through B. The ratio of self-inductance of A and the mutual inductance of A and B is :

  2. 1/1.6

  3. 1.6

  4. 1

Show answer
Correct Option: B
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 $\dfrac{L _1}{L _2}=\dfrac{200*10^{-3}}{400*0.8*10^{-3}}=1/1.6$

Two concentric coils each of radius equal to $2\pi\ cm$ are placed at right angles to each other. $3$ Ampere and $4$ ampere are the currents flowing in each coil respectively. The magnetic induction in $Weber/m^{2}$ at the centre of the coils will be ($\mu _{0}=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ Wb/A-m$)

  2. $10^{-5}$

  3. $5\times 10^{-5}$

  4. $7\times 10^{-5}$

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:
Magnetic Induction at centre of coil is
$B=\dfrac {\mu _0}{2r} \sqrt {I _1^2 +I _2^2}\quad I _1=3\ A$
$I _2=4\ A$
$=\dfrac {4\pi\times 10^{-7}}{2\times \dfrac {2\pi}{100}}\times \sqrt {3^2 +4^2}$
$=\dfrac {4\pi \times 10^{-5}\times 5}{2\times 2\pi}$
$=5\times 10^{-5} \dfrac {wb}{m^2}$

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

mutual inductance electromagnetic induction electromagnetic induction and alternating currents physics

  1. $5000V$

  2. $500V$

  3. $150V$

  4. $125V$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
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. $40mH$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

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


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

$\therefore M = 10 mH$
