1. The magnetic field through a circular loop of wire 12 cm in radius and 8.5 Ω
resistance, changes with time as shown in the figure. The magnetic field is
perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Calculate the induced current in the loop and
plot it as a function of time.
2. A rectangular conductor LMNO is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T. The
field is directed perpendicular to the plane of the conductor. When the arm MN of
length of 20 cm is moved towards left with a velocity of 10 ms–1. Calculate the emf
induced in the arm. Given the resistance of the arm to be 5 Ω (assuming that other
arms are of negligible resistance), find the value of the current in the arm.
3. A toroidal solenoid with air core has an average radius of 15 cm, area of cross-section
12 cm2 and has 1200 turns. Calculate the self-inductance of the toroid. Assume the
field to be uniform across the cross-section of the toroid.
4. A small flat search coil of area 5 cm2 with 140 closely wound turns is placed between
the poles of a powerful magnet producing magnetic field 0.09 T and then quickly
removed out of the field region. Calculate
(a) change of magnetic flux through the coil, and
(b) emf induced in the coil.
5. A 0.5 m long solenoid of 10 turns/cm has area of cross-section 1 cm2. Calculate the
voltage induced across its ends if the current in the solenoid is changed from 1A to
2A in 0.1s.
6. The currents flowing in the two coils of self-inductance L1=16 mH and L2=12 mH are
increasing at the same rate. If the power supplied to the two coils are equal,
find the ratio of
(i) induced voltages,
(ii) the currents and
(iii) the energies stored in the two coils at a given instant.
7. A coil of number of turns N, area A is rotated at a constant angular speed ω, in a
uniform magnetic field B and connected to a resistor R. Deduce expression for
(i) maximum emf induced in the coil.
(ii) power dissipation in the coil.
8. When the current in a coil changes from 8A to 2A in 3 × 10–2 second, the emf induced
in the coil is 2 volt. The self-inductance of the coil, in millihenry, is
9. A thin circular ring of area A is held perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of
induction B. A small cut is made in the ring and a galvanometer is connected across
its ends in such a way that the total resistance of the circuit is R. When the ring is
suddenly squeezed to zero area, the charge flowing through the galvanometer is
10. A rectangular wire frame, shown below, is placed in a uniform magnetic field directed
upward and normal to the plane of the paper. The part AB is connected to a spring.
The spring is stretched and released when the wire AB has come to the position A′ B′
