Induction
Q1: When current in a coil changes from 5 A to 2 A in 0.1 s, an average voltage of 50 V is produced. The
self-inductance of the coil is
(a) 0.67 H
(b) 1.67 H
(c) 3 H
(d) 6 H
Solution
I1 = 5 A,
I2 = 2 A
ΔI = 2 – 5 = –3 A
Δt = 0.1
s= 50 V
As, ε = -L(ΔI/Δt)
50 = -L(-3/0.1)
50 = 30L
L = 5/3 = 1.67 H
Q2: Two coaxial solenoids are made by winding thin insulated wire over a pipe of cross-sectional area A =
10 cm2 and length = 20 cm. If one of the solenoids has 300 turns and the other 400 turns, their mutual
inductance is (μ0 = 4π × 10–7 T mA–1)
M = μ0N1N2/l
Q3: The self inductance of the motor of an electric fan is 10 H. In order to impart maximum power at 50
Hz, it should be connected to a capacitance of
(a) 1μF
(b) 2μF
(c) 4μF
(d) 8μF
Solution
C = 1/ Lω2
C = 1/[10 x (2π x 50)2] = 1/(10 x 104 x (π)2) = 10-6 F = 1μF (Taking π2 = 10)
Q4: A coil of inductance 300 mH and resistance 2 is connected to a source of voltage 2 V. The current
reaches half of its steady state value in
(a) 0.15 s
(b) 0.3 s
(c) 0.05 s
(d) 0.1 s
Solution
e-Rt/L = ½ = 2-1
or Rt/L = In 2 ⇒t = (L/R)In 2
t =[(300 x 10-3)/2] x (0.693)
or t = 0.1 sec
Q5: In a LCR circuit capacitance is changed from C to 2C. For the resonant frequency to remain
unchanged, the inductance should be changed from L to
(a) 4L
(b) 2L
(c) L/2
(d) L/4
Solution
L2 = L/2
Q6: Two coils are placed close to each other. The mutual inductance of the pair of coils depends upon
(a) the rates at which currents are changing in the two coils
Solution
Mutual inductance between two coils depends on the materials of the wires of the coils
Q7: The power factor of an AC circuit having resistance (R) and inductance (L) connected in series and an
angular velocity is
(a) R/ωL
(c) ωL/R
(d) R/(R2 – ω2L2)1/2
Solution
Q8: An arc lamp requires a direct current of 10 A at 80 V to function. If it is connected to a 220 V (rms), 50
Hz AC supply, the series inductor needed for it to work is close to
(a) 80 H
(b) 0.08 H
(c) 0.044 H
(d) 0.065 H
Solution
Given I = 10 A, V = 80 V
I = V/(82 + XL2)½
(64 + XL2)½ = 22
64 + XL2 = 484
XL = (420)½ ⇒ 2π x ωL = (420) ½

Q9: A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300 V to a step down transformer with its primary
windings having 4000 turns, giving the output power at 230 V. If the current in the primary of the
transformer is 5 A, and its efficiency is 90%, the output current would be
(a) 50 A
(b) 25 A
(c) 45 A
(d) 20 A
Solution

Answer: (c) 45 A
Q10: A coil of cross-sectional area A having n turns is placed in a uniform magnetic field B. When it is
rotated with an angular velocity ω, the maximum e.m.f. induced in the coil will be
(a) (3/2)nBAω
(b) nBAω
(c) 3nBAω

s–1, at right angles to the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field of 0.3 × 10–4 Wb/m2. The value
of the induced emf in wire is
(a) 0.3 × 10–3 V
Solution
The motional emf is given as = 5 × (0.3 × 10–4) (10) sin90° = 1.5 × 10–3 V
Q12: A copper wire is wound on a wooden frame, whose shape is that of an equilateral triangle. If the
linear dimension of each side of the frame is increased by a factor of 3, keeping the number of turns of the
coil per unit length of the frame the same, then the self inductance of the coil
Q13: The self induced emf of a coil is 25 volts.When the current in it is changed at uniform rate from 10 A
to 25 A in 1 s, the change in the energy of the inductance is
(a) 637.5 J
(b) 540 J
(c) 437.5 J
(d) 740 J
Solution
ε = 25 V, I1 = 10 A, I 2 = 25 A, t = 1 s, ΔE =?
ε = L(ΔL/Δt)
25 = L[(25 - 10)/1]
L = 25/15 = (5/3) H
ΔE = ½L (I 22 - I12 ) =(½) x (5/3) x (252 - 102) = (⅚) x 525 = 437.5 J
Q14: There are two long co-axial solenoids of the same length l. The inner and outer coils have radii r 1 and

(b) (n2/n1)(r22/r12)
(c) (n2/n1)(r1/r2)
(d) n1/n2
Solution
M = μ0n1n2r12 ...(1)
L = μ 0n12r12 ...(2)
M/L = n 2/n1

As all the edges are parallel between the faces perpendicular to the x-axis, hence required potential difference is
12 mV
Answer: (d) 12 mV
