Electromagnetic Induction-Short answers questions



1.
A conductor is moved in a direction parallel to a uniform magnetic field.
Will an induced current develop in the conductor?
ans:
No the emf will not be induced when the conductor is moved in the direction parallel to the field because the there is no change in the magnetic flux. Induced emf is produced only when there is change in magnetic flux.

2.
Two identical loops,one of copper and other of iron are rotated with the same speed in the same magnetic field.
In which case i)emf, ii)current will be more and why?
ans:
The change in the magnetic flux in both loops will be same so the emf induced in both cases will be same. As the copper loop has less resistance than iron loop, the induced emf in the case of copper is more than that of iron loop.

3.
State and explain Faraday's law of electro magnetic induction.
ans:
First law of faraday’s of electromagnetic induction
It state that whenever is a change in the magnetic flux lined with a coil an emf is induced in a coil which lasts so long as the change in magnetic flux continues.
Second law of faraday’s of electromagnetic induction:
This law give the measure  of induce emf. a/c to this law the magnitude of emf induce in a is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with it i.e.
Induced emf e α dɸ/dt
Therefore e=-k 
Where k is called proportionality constant whose value is 1 and
Negative signs how the opposing nature of the induce emf so the avove expression may be written as e=-
Let at time t=0 second fluxed with a coil is ɸ1 and after time t, second flux linked ɸ2 then change in fluxed link is given by ɸ2- ɸ1=dɸ
Therefore induced emf (e)=-

4.
State Lenz law is a direct consquence of the law of conservation of energy.
ans:
According to Lenz's law, the direction of induced current in a coil is such that it always opposes the cause which produces it. This law follows the law of conservation of energy i.e. Energy neither can be created nor can be destroyed but can change from one form to another. In Lenz’s law when the magnet is moved towards or away from coil, emf is induced in the coil at the expense of mechanical energy spent by the external agent. Hence, in this way mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. This show the Lenz's law is in accordance with the law of conservation of energy.

5.State LEnz law is in accordance with conservation of energy.
ans:
According to Lenz's law, the direction of induced current in a coil is such that it always opposes the cause which produces it. This law follows the law of conservation of energy i.e. Energy neither can be created nor can be destroyed but can change from one form to another. In Lenz’s law when the magnet is moved towards or away from coil, emf is induced in the coil at the expense of mechanical energy spent by the external agent. Hence, in this way mechanical energy is converted to electrical energy. This show the Lenz's law is in accordance with the law of conservation of energy.


6.

ans:
Yes the have same dimension you can use dimensional method.

7.
What is induced emf? How is it produced?
ans:
Whenever a change in the magnetic flux lined with an emf is induced in which lasts so long as the change in magnetic flux continues.

Induced emf is produced by
i. Changing the intensity of magnetic field.
ii. Changing the orientation of the coil with respect to magnetic field.
iii.Changing the area of the conducting circuit.

8.
Define self induction and mutual induction.
ans:
The process of inducing emf in a coil due to the flow of current through itself is called self induction.
The induction of an emf in the coil due to the flow of current in the neighboring coil is called mutual induction.

9.
Define self induction. Write two factors on which self inductance of a coil depends.
ans:
The process of inducing emf in a coil due to the flow of current through itself is called self induction.
The self induction of the coil depends upon:
 Square of the number of turns of the coil
Area of the coil

10.
ans:
Explain mutual inductance write it's unit. Give two factors on which the coefficient of mutual inductance between a pair and coil depends.
ans:
Same as above.

11.
Why is spark produced in the switch of a fan when it is put off?
ans:
When the fan is switched off large emf is produced due to the sudden interruption in the circuit current which opposes the decay of the current in the circuit .Consequently, the air between the contacts of the switch ionizes which causes the sparking of the switch.

12.
What are eddy current give their two applications.
ans:
When a block of metal moves through a magnetic field, induced current circulate through the metal block. These types of currents are called eddy currents.
Some useful applications of eddy current are:
(i) It is used in dead beat galvanometer.
(ii) It is used in induction motors.

13.
What are eddy currents how are they reduced?
ans:
same as above and
When a block of metal moves through a magnetic field, induced current circulate through the metal block. These types of currents are called eddy currents. We can reduce the eddy current by laminating the cores.

14.
What is Fleming's right hand rule?
ans:
It states that, “ In the fore finger, the middle finger and the thumb of right hand are stretched mutually perpendicular to each other such that the thumb points in the direction of the motion of the conductor (or the coil) and the fore – finger points in the direction of the induced emf.

15.Can a transformer with with dc explain.

ans:
When primary coil of the transformeris connected to a dc current or source which produces constant magnetic flux,the primary coil produce constant magnetic flux,the flux linked with the secondary coil of the transformer is not changing so there is no change in magnetic flux and hence e.m.f is not induced in the secondary coil.

16.
Define step up and step down transformer.
ans:
The transformer which converts high voltage AC into low voltage is called step down transformers. The transformers which converts low voltage AC into high voltage is called step up transformers.

17.
What do you mean by flux linkages.
ans:
The products of the number of turns (N) of the coil and magnetic flux (Ï• ) is called flux linkage.
Flux linkage = NÏ•

18.
Name one device that is based on mutual induction.
ans:
Transformer is based on principle of mutual induction.

19
What is an ideal transformer
 ans:
The transformer whose efficiency is 100% is known as ideal transformer. But the ideal transformer is never realized in practice because of various energy losses in it.

20.
Mention various looses in transformers.
ans:
A practical transformer has efficiency less than one due to following types of power looses :
(a) Copper loss: copper loss can be reduce or minimized by talking wires of suitable thickness.
(b) Hysteresis loss: hysteresis can be reduce or minimized by using materials having narrow hysteresis loop.
(c) Iron (or eddy current): eddy current can be reduced or minimized by using laminated iron core.
(d) Humming loss: humming loss can be reduce or minimized by using proper material having low vibration.
(e) Flux loss: flux loss can be reduce or minimized by designing the core for maximum linkage between the primary and secondary coils.

21.
What is a transformer? on what principle does it works?
ans:
Transformers is a device used to convert high volt, low current AC into low volt high current AC or vice versa. Transformer is based on the principle of mutual induction.

22.
What is diathermy?
ans:
Diathermy is a therapeutic treatment most commonly prescribed for joint conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Indiathermy, eddy currents are used for localized heating of the tissue in human body.

23.
What is electromagnetic brakes?
ans:
Electromagnetic brake is the kind of braking system which is used to stop the heavy vehicles. It consists of a metal drum coupled with the wheel of train. Eddy current produced in the drum produces the braking action.

24.
What are the factors on which the magnetic field depends upon?
