end of the plank is now lifted so that it gets tilted making an angle 𝜃 from the horizontal as shown

about its axis as shown in the figure. A strong magnet is held vertically at a point above the disc
away from its axis. On revolving the magnet about the axis of the disc, the disc will (figure is
schematic and not drawn to scale)-

(A) rotate in the direction opposite to the direction of magnet’s motion

(B) rotate in the same direction as the direction of magnet’s motion

Ans. (B)
EN
(C) not rotate and its temperature will remain unchanged
(D) not rotate but its temperature will slowly rise

Sol. When the magnet is moved, it creates a state where the plate moves through the magnetic flux, due
to which an electromotive force is generated in the plate and eddy currents are induced. These
currents are such that it opposes the relative motion  disc will rotate in the direction of rotation of

magnet.
Note : This apparatus is called Arago's disk.
3. A small roller of diameter 20 cm has an axle of diameter 10 cm (see figure below on the left). It is
on a horizontal floor and a meter scale is positioned horizontally on its axle with one edge of the
scale on top of the axle (see figure on the right). The scale is now pushed slowly on the axle so that
A

it moves without slipping on the axle, and the roller starts rolling without slipping. After the roller
has moved 50 cm, the position of the scale will look like (figures are schematic and not drawn to

Therefore relative displacement (with respect to centre of roller) is (75 – 50) cm = 25 cm.

4. A circular coil of radius R and N turns has negligible resistance. As shown in the schematic figure,
its two ends are connected to two wires and it is hanging by those wires with its plane being
vertical. The wires are connected to a capacitor with charge Q through a switch. The coil is in a
horizontal uniform magnetic field Bo parallel to the plane of the coil. When the switch is closed, the
capacitor gets discharged through the coil in a very short time. By the time the capacitor is
discharged fully, magnitude of the angular momentum gained by the coil will be (assume that the
discharge time is so short that the coil has hardly rotated during this time)-

13. Put a uniform meter scale horizontally on your extended index fingers with the left one at 0.00 cm
A

and the right one at 90.00 cm. When you attempt to move both the fingers slowly towards the
center, initially only the left finger slips with respect to the scale and the right finger does not. After
some distance, the left finger stops and the right one starts slipping. Then the right finger stops at a
distance 𝑥𝑅 from the center (50.00 cm) of the scale and the left one starts slipping again. This
happens because of the difference in the frictional forces on the two fingers. If the coefficients of
static and dynamic friction between the fingers and the scale are 0.40 and 0.32, respectively, the
value of 𝑥𝑅 (in cm) is ______.-
