Answer:
Even for a conductor in the form of a sheet or plate, an emf is induced when magnetic flux linked with it changes. But the difference is that there is no definite loop or path for induced current to flow away. As a result, the induced currents flow in concentric circular paths. As these electric currents resemble eddies of water, these are known as Eddy currents. They are also called Foucault currents.

III. Long Answer Questions:

Question 1.
Establish the fact that the relative motion between the coil and the magnet induces an emf in the coil of
a closed circuit.
Answer:
1.  In first experiment when bar magnet is placed close to the coil, magnetic lines pass through coil, the magnetic flux in coil increases and emf is induced hence electric current flows in the circuit.
2. At the same time when they recede away from one another magnetic flux decreases emf is induced in opposite direction. Current flows in opposite direction. So there is a deflection in the galvanometer.
3. In second experiment, when the primary circuit is open, no electric current flows in it, magnetic flux linked with the secondary coil is zero.

4. When primary circuit is closed, increasing current produce magnetic field. So magnetic flux linked with coil increases. This induced current in secondary coil.
           
5. When primary circuit is broken, decreasing primary current induces current in secondary coil but in opposite direction. So there is a deflection in Galvanorneter.

Question 2.
Give an illustration of determining direction of induced current by using Lenz’s law.
Answer:
1. Move the bar magnet towards solenoid with north pole pointing solenoid.
2. When the Magnetic flux increases in the coil, induced current is produced, and the coil becomes magnetic dipole.
3. According to Lenz law, induced current opposes the movement of north pole towards coil.
             

4. It is possible if end nearer to magnet become north pole, then it repels the north pole of magnet and oppose the movement of magnet.
5. The direction of induced current is found by the right hand thumb rule.
6. When a bar magnet is withdrawn, nearer end becomes south pole which attracts north pole of the bar magnet, opposing the receding motion of magnet.
7. Direction of induced current can be found from Lenz law.

Question 3.
Show that Lenz’s law is in accordance with the law of conservation of energy.
Answer:
Conservation of energy:
The truth of Lenz’s law can be established on the basis of the law of conservation of energy. According to Lenz’s law, when a magnet is moved either towards or away from a coil, the induced current produced opposes its motion. As a result, there will always be a resisting force on the moving magnet.

Work has to be done by some external agency to move the magnet against this resisting force. Here the mechanical energy of the moving magnet is converted into electrical energy which in turn, gets converted into Joule heat in the coil i.e., energy is converted from one form to another.

Question 4.
Obtain an expression for motional emf from Lorentz force.
Answer:
1. Consider a straight rod AB of length l in uniform magnetic field perpendicularly to plane of paper.
2. Let rod move with constant velocity \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) towards right side free electrons present in it also move with same \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) in \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\)
3. The Lorentz force is \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{B}}\) = -e (\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{v}}\) × \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) )
4. Due to electric field E , the coulomb force starts acting on free electrons along AB.
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{B}}\) = -e\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\)
5. Magnitude of \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}\) increasing as long as accumulation of electrons at the end A continues \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{E}}\) increases until equilibrium is reached.
6. At equilibrium,
\(\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{B}}\right|=\left|\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{\mathrm{E}}\right|\)
\(|-e(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})|=|-e \quad \overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}|\)
vB sin 90° = E
vB = E
7. The Potential difference is V = El
V = vBl
So, ε = Blv

8. An emf is produced due to movement of rod, it is called as motional emf.
9. If A and B are connected by external circuit of resistance R, then the current \(i=\frac{\varepsilon}{R}=\frac{B l V}{R}\) flows in it.
10. Direction of current is found from right-hand thumb rule.

Question 5.
Give the uses of Foucault current.
Answer:
Though the production of eddy current is undesirable in some cases, it is useful in some other cases. A few of them are

1. Induction stove
2. Eddy current brake
3. Eddy current testing
4. Electromagnetic damping

1. Induction stove:
An induction stove is used to cook the food quickly and safely with less energy consumption. Below the cooking zone, there is a tightly wound coil of insulated wire. The cooking pan made of a suitable material is placed over the cooking zone.

When the stove is switched on, an alternating current flowing in the coil produces a high frequency alternating magnetic field which induces very strong eddy currents in the cooking pan. The eddy currents in the pan produce so much of heat due to Joule heating which is used to cook the food.

2. Eddy current brake:
This eddy current braking system is generally used in high-speed trains and roller coasters. Strong electromagnets are fixed just above the rails. To stop the train, electromagnets are switched on. The magnetic field of these magnets induces eddy currents in the rails which oppose or resist the movement of the train. This is Eddy’s current linear brake.

In some cases, the circular disc, connected to the wheel of the train through a common shaft, is made to rotate in between the poles of an electromagnet. When there is a relative motion between the disc and the magnet, eddy currents are induced in the disc which stop the train. This is Eddy current circular brake.

3. Eddy current testing:
It is one of the simple non-destructive testing methods to find defects like surface cracks and air bubbles present in a specimen. A coil of insulated wire is given an alternating electric current so that it produces an alternating magnetic field.

When this coil is brought near the test surface, eddy current is induced in the test surface. The presence of defects causes the change in phase and amplitude of the eddy current that can be detected by some other means. In this way, the defects present in the specimen are identified.

4. Electromagnetic damping:
The armature of the galvanometer coil is wound on a soft iron cylinder. Once the armature is deflected, the relative motion between the soft iron cylinder and the radial magnetic field induces eddy current in the cylinder. The damping force due to the flow of eddy current brings the armature to rest immediately and then the galvanometer shows a steady deflection. This is called electromagnetic damping.

Question 6.
Define self – inductance of a coil in terms of
(i) magnetic flux and
(ii) induced emf.
Answer:

1. Let be the magnetic flux linked each turn of the coil of N turns, then the total flux linked with the coil NPB is proportional to the current i in the coil
   Nφ_B α i
   Nφ_B = Li ……………(1)
2. Self-inductance of a coil is defined as the flux linkage of the coil when 1 A current flows through it.
   L = \(\frac{\mathrm{N} \Phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{i}\) If i = 1A then L = Nφ_B
3. When the current i changes with time, an emf is induced in it. From Faradys law of electro magnetic induction, this self induced emf is given
   ε = \(-d \frac{\left(\mathrm{N} \varphi_{\mathrm{B}}\right)}{d t}=-d \frac{(\mathrm{Li})}{d t}\)
   Using equation (1)
   L = \(\frac{-\varepsilon}{d i / d t}\) If di/dt = 1A.S^-1 then L = -ε
4. Self inductance of coil is defined as opposing emf induced in the coil when the rate of change of current through the coil is 1As^-1

Question 7.
How will you define the unit of inductance?
Answer:
Unit of inductance: Inductance is a scalar and its unit is Wb A^-1 or V s A^-1. It is also measured in henry (H).
1 H = 1 Wb A^-1 = 1 V s A^-1
The dimensional formula of inductance is M L² T^-2A^-2.
If i = 1 A and NΦ_B = 1 Wb turns, then L = 1 H.
Therefore, the inductance of the coil is said to be one henry if a current of 1 A produces unit flux linkage in the coil.
If \(\frac { di}{ dt }\) = 1 As^-1 and ε = -1 V, then L = 1 H.
Therefore, the inductance of the coil is one henry if a current changing at the rate of 1 A s^-1 induces an opposing emf of 1 V in it.

Question 8.
What do you understand by the self-inductance of a coil? Give its physical significance.
Answer:
Self Inductance of coil:
1. Inductance or simply inductance of a coil is defined as the flux linkage of the coil when I A current flows through it.
2. Inductance of a coil is also defined as opposing emf induced in the coil when the rate of change of current through the is 1 As^-1.

Physical Significance:
3. In translational motion, mass is measure of inertia, for rotational motion, moment of inertia is a measure of rotational inertia.
4. The inductance plays the same role in circuit as mass and moment of inertia play in mechanical motion.
5. When a circuit is switched on, the increasing current induces on emf which opposes the growth of current in circuit (Figure (a))

6. Induced emf e opposes the changing current i When circuit is broken, the decreasing current induces an emf in the reverse direction. This emf now opposes the decay of current (Figure (b))
7. Thus, inductance of the coil opposes any change in current and tries to maintain the original state.

Question 9.
Assuming that the length of the solenoid is large when compared to its diameter, find the equation for its inductance.
Answer:
1. Consider a long solenoid of length l and cross-sectional area A. Let n be the number of turns per unit length (1> n).
2. When the current i pass through solenoid, uniform magnetic field B is produced.
B = µ₀ni
3. The magnetic field passes through each turn is
Φ_B = \(\int_{A} \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{A}\) = BA cosθ = BA, Since θ = 0°
Φ_B = (µ₀ ni)A

Self inductance of a long solenoid

4. Total magnetic flux of solenoid with N turns (N = nl)
NΦ_B = (nl)(µ₀ ni) AB
NΦ_B = (µ₀ n² Al) i
5. we have L = µ₀n²Al
6. Inductance depends on geometry of solenoid and medium present inside the solenoid.
7. For dielectric medium of µr
L = µn²Al (or)
L = µ₀ µ_r n² Al

Question 10.
An inductor of inductance L carries an electric current i. How much energy is stored while establishing the current in it?
Answer:
When current is established in circuit, inductance opposes the growth of current. So, work is done against this opposition by external agency. This work done is stored as magnetic potential energy.
Induced emf at any instant is
ε = -L\(\frac{d i}{d t}\)
Work done dW = -ε dq = -εidt
∴ dq = idt
Substituting for ε from first equation
ε = -L \(\frac{d i}{d t}\)
dw = -(-L \(\frac{d i}{d t}\)) i dt
dw = Li di
Total work done
W = ∫ dw = \(\int_{0}^{i}\)Li di = L\(\left[\frac{i^{2}}{2}\right]\)
W = \(\frac{1}{2}\) Li²
This work done is stored as magnetic potential energy
∴ U_B = \(\frac{1}{2}\) Li²
Energy density is the energy stored per unit volume of space
U_B = \(\frac{\mathrm{U}_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{Al}}\)
∴ Volume of solenoid = Al

Question 11.
Show that the mutual inductance between a pair of coils is same (M₁₂ = M₂₁)
Answer:
Consider two coils placed close to each other, i₁ is the electric current sent through coil 1 linked with coil 2.

Let Φ₂₁ be the magnetic flux linked with coil 2 of N₂ due to coil 1
N₂ Φ₂₁ α i₁
N₂ Φ₂₁ = M₂₁ i₁
M₂₁ = \(\frac{\mathrm{N}_{2} \Phi_{21}}{i_{1}}\)
M₂₁ is called mutual inductance of coil 2 with respect to coil 1. It is also called coefficient of mutual inductance.
If i₁ = 1A then M₂₁ = N₂ Φ₂₁
Mutual Inductance M₂₁ is defined as flux linkage of coil 2 when 1 A current flows through coil 1.

When i₁ changes with time emf ε₂ is induced in coil 2. From Faraday’s law of electromagnetic
induction

Mutual inductance M₂₁ is defined as emf induced in coil 2 when rate of change of current through the coil I is 1 As^-1
Similarly,
M₁₂ = \(\frac{\mathrm{N}_{1} \Phi_{12}}{i_{2}}\) and

M₁₂ = \(\frac{-\varepsilon_{2}}{d i_{2} / d t}\)
The mutual inductance is same ie M₂₁ = M₁₂ = M
The mutual inductance between two coils depends on size, shape, number of turns of the coils, relative orientation and permeability of the medium.

Question 12.
How will you induce an emf by changing the area enclosed by the coil?
Answer:
1. Consider a conducting rod of length l moving with velocity v towards left.
2. The whole arrangement is in uniform magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\), magnetic lines perpendicular to plane of the paper.
3. As the rod moves from AB to CD in time dt area enclosed by the loop and the magnetic flux through the loop decreases.

Induction of emf by changing the area enclosed by the loop

Change in magnetic flux in time dt is
dΦ_B = B × change in area
= B × Area ABCD
= Blv dt
(or) \(\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) = Blv
The magnitude of induced emf.
ε = \(\frac{\mathrm{d} \phi_{\mathrm{B}}}{\mathrm{dt}}\)
ε = Blv
The emf is called motional Emf,
Direction of induced current is clockwise from Flemings Right hand rule.

Question 13.
Show mathematically that the rotation of a coil in a magnetic field over one rotation induces an alternating emf of one cycle.
Answer:
1. Consider a rectangular coil of N turns in a uniform magnetic field \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\)
2. Coil rotates with angular velocity ω about an axis in an anticlockwise direction perpendicular to the field.
3. At t = 0 plane of coil is perpendicular to the field so flux linked with the coil is Φ_m = BA
4. At t seconds coil is rotated through angle Φ flux is Φ_m cos ωt, component of Φ_m normal to the coil.

Variation of induced emf as a function ωt

According to Faraday’s law the ernf at any instant is
ε = –\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) (N Φ_B)
= –\(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) (N Φ_m cos ωt)
= -NΦ_m(-sin ωt) ω
= NΦ_m ω sin ωt
5. When the coil is rotated through 90°, sin ωt = 1.
6. The maximum induced emf is
ε_m = NΦ_m ω
ε_m = NBAω since Φ_m = BA
∴ Value of induced emf at any instant is
ε = ε_m sin ωt
The alternating current is given by i = I_m sin ωt
I_m = maximum value of induced current.

3. Alternating magnetic flux in core induce eddy current, due to flow of eddy current energy loss takes place. It is minimized by thin lamination of transformer core.

ii) Copper loss:
When current flows through core energy is dissipated due to Joule heating. It is a copper loss, it is minimized by using large-diameter wire.

iii) Flux leakage:
Flux leakage happens, when the magnetic lines of the primary coil are not completely linked with the secondary coil. Energy loss due to flux leakage is minimized by winding coil one over the other.

Question 19.
Give the advantage of AC in long-distance power transmission with an example.
Answer:

1. When power is transmitting for long-distance a fraction of power is lost due to joule heating (I²R).
2. This power loss can be tackled either by reducing current i or by reducing resistance R of a transmission line.
3. At the transmitting point, voltage is increased and the current is decreased by a step-up transformer.
4. This reduced current at high voltage reaches the destination without applicable loss.
5. At the receiving point, voltage is decreased and current is increased by step down transformer.

Example 1:
2MW power is transmitted at 40Ω with 10 kV voltage
I = \(\frac{P}{V}=\frac{2 \times 10^{6}}{10 \times 10^{3}}\) = 200 A
Power loss = I² R = (200)² × 40 = 1.6 × 10⁶ W
% of Power loss = \(\frac{1.6 \times 10^{6}}{2 \times 10^{6}}\) × 100% = 80%

Example 2:
When 2MW power at 40 Q is transmitted with 100 kV voltage.
I = \(\frac{P}{V}=\frac{2 \times 10^{3}}{100 \times 10^{3}}\) = 20 A
Power loss = I² R = (200)² × 40 = 0.016 × 10⁶ W
% of power loss = \(\frac{0.016 \times 10^{6}}{2 \times 10^{6}}\) × 100%
= 0.8 × 100% = 80%

Question 20.

Answer:
1. Consider a circuit containing pure inductor L across a.c. voltage source
2. υ = V_m sin ωt
Back emf ε = – L \(\frac{d i}{d t}\)
3. By applying kirchoff’s loop rule
ν + ε = 0
V_m sin ωt = L \(\frac{d i}{d t}\)
di = \(\frac{V_{m}}{L}\) sin ωt dt
Integrating both sides.

Phasor diagram and wave diagram for AC circuit with L.

i = \(\frac{V_{m}}{L}\) ∫ sin ωt dt

i = \(\frac{V_{m}}{L}\) (- cos ωt) + constant

i = \(\frac{V_{m}}{L}\) sin (ωt – π/2) or

i = I_m sin (ωt – π/2)
where, \(\frac{V_{m}}{\omega L}\) = I_m.
The peak value of a.c current lags behind voltage by π/2 in inductive circuit in phasor diagram. In wave diagram current lags voltage by 90°.
I_m = \(\frac{V_{m}}{\omega L}\)
The quantity ωL is the resistance offered by inductor and called inductive reactance (χ_L)
χ_L = ωL
for ideal inductor χ_L = 0

Question 21.
Derive an expression for phase angle between the applied voltage and current in a series RLC circuit.
Answer:

AC circuit containing R, L and C

Phasor diagram for a series RLC – circuit when V_L > V_C

L(V_L) leads I by π/2 and voltage across C(V_C) lags I by π/2
Phasor diagram is drawn with the current.
The length of these phasors are
OI = I_m, OA = I_mR, OB = I_mχ_L;
OC = I_mχ_C
V_m² = V_R² + (V_L – V_C)²

Special cases:
i) If χ_L> χ_C, (χ_L – χ_C) is positive and Φ is also positive.
∴ υ = V_msin ωt; i = I_m(sin(ωt – Φ))
ii) if χ_L < χ_C, (χ_L – χ_C) is negative and Φ is negative.
∴ υ = V_msin ωt; i = I_m(sin(wt + Φ))

Question 22.
Define inductive and capacitive reactance. Give their units.
Answer:

1. Resistance offered by inductor is called inductive reactance (χ_L). Its unit is the ohm (Ω)
   χ_L = ωL
   If f = 0. χ_L = 0.
2. Resistance offered by capacitor is called capacitive reactance (χ_C). Its unit is also ohm (Ω)
   χ_C = \(\frac{1}{\omega C}\)
   If f = 0 ;
   χ_C = \(\frac{1}{\omega C}\) = \(\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}=\frac{1}{0}\) = ∞

Question 23.
Obtain an expression for the average power of AC over a cycle. Discuss its special cases.
Answer:
In RLC circuit,
υ = V_m sin ωt and
i = I_m sin (ωt + Φ)
where Φ is phase angle between υ and i
Instantaneous power is p = υi
= V_m I_m sin ωt sin (ωt + Φ)
= V_m I_m sin ωt (sin ωt cos Φ – cos ωt sin Φ)
P = V_m I_m(cos Φ sin2ωt – sinωt cosωt sin Φ)
Average power over a cycle,
P_av = V_m I_m cos Φ × \(\frac{1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{V_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \frac{I_{m}}{\sqrt{2}}\) cos Φ
∴ P_av = V_RMS I_RMS P cos Φ
V_RMS I_RMS is apparent power cos Φ is power factor Average power of AC circuit is known as the true power of circuit.

Special Cases:
i) For pure resistive circuit phase angle is zero, cos Φ = 1
∴ P_av = V_RMS I_RMS
ii) For pure inductive or capacitive circuit cos (± π/2) = 0
∴ P_av = 0
iii) For RLC circuit Φ = \(\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{X_{L}-X_{L}}{R}\right)\)
∴ P_av = V_RMS I_RMS
iv) For RLC circuit at resonance cos Φ = 1
∴ P_av = V_RMS I_RMS

Question 24.
Explain the generation of LC oscillation in a circuit containing an inductor of inductance L and a capacitor of capacitance C.
Answer:
LC Oscillations:
Whenever energy is given to a circuit containing a pure inductor of inductance L and a capacitor of capacitance C, the energy oscillates back and forth between the magnetic field of the inductor and the electric field of the capacitor. Thus the electrical oscillations of definite frequency are generated. These oscillations are called LC oscillations.

LC Oscillations

Generation of LC oscillations:
1. Let us assume that the capacitor is fully charged with maximum charge Qm at the initial stage. So that the energy store in the Q_m capacitor is maximum and is given by U_E = \(\frac{Q_{m}^{2}}{2 C}\)
2. As there is no current in the inductor, the energy stored in it is zero i.e., U_E = 0. Therefore, the total energy is wholly electrical. (Figure (a)).
3. The capacitor now begins to discharge through the inductor that establishes current i in a clockwise direction. This current produces a magnetic field around the inductor and the energy stored in the inductor is given by
U_E = \(\frac{\mathrm{Li}^{2}}{2}\)
As the charge in the capacitor decreases, the energy stored in it also decreases and is given by
U_E = \(\frac{q^{2}}{2 C}\) total energy is the sum of electrical and magnetic energies. (Figure (b)).
4. When the charges in the capacitor are exhausted, its energy becomes zero i.e., U_E = 0.
The energy is fully transferred to the magnetic field of the inductor and its energy is maximum.
5. This maximum energy is given by U_E = \(\frac{\mathrm{Li}^{2}}{2}\) where I_mis the maximum current flowing in the circuit. The total energy is wholly magnetic (Figure (c)).
6. Even though the charge in the capacitor is zero, the current will continue to flow in the same direction because the inductor will not allow it to stop immediately.
7. As a result of this, the capacitor begins to charge in the opposite direction. A part of the energy is transferred from the inductor back to the capacitor. The total energy is the sum of the electrical and magnetic energies. (Figure (d)).
8. (Fig. e) i = o the capacitor becomes fully charged in the opposite direction.
9. (Fig. f) The state of the circuit is similar to the initial state but the difference is that the capacitor is charged in opposite direction.
∴ Total energy = U_E + U_B.
10. As already explained, the process repeated in opposite direction (Fig. g and h). Finally alternating current flows in the circuit.
11. This process is repeated again and again to produce LC Oscillations.

Question 25.
Prove that the total energy is conserved during LC oscillations.
Answer:

1. LC oscillation takes place in accordance with law of conservation of energy.
2. Total energy U = U_E + U_B = \(\frac{q^{2}}{2 C}+\frac{1}{2} L i^{2}\)

Case (i):
When q = Q_m and i = O
Total energy is U = \(\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{m}}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{C}}\) + o = \(\frac{\mathrm{Q}_{\mathrm{m}}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{C}}\)
Total energy is wholly electrical.

Case (ii):
When q = O i = I_m total energy is
U = 0 + \(\frac{1}{2} L I^{2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2} L I^{2}\)
= \(\frac{L}{2} \times\left(\frac{Q^{2} m}{L_{C}}\right)\)
since I_m = Q_m ω
= \(\frac{Q_{m}}{\sqrt{L M}}\) = \(\frac{Q^{2} m}{2 C}\)
Total energy is wholly magnetic

Case (iii):
When charge = q, current = i

ii) Quantitative treatment:
Mechanical energy of spring mass system,
E = \(\frac{1}{2}\) mv² + \(\frac{1}{2}\) kx² …………(2)

m = \(\frac{d^{2} x}{d t^{2}}\) + kx = 0 ………………..(3)
x(t) = X_m cos(ωt + Φ)
Electromagnetic energy of LC system is
\(\mathrm{U}=\frac{Q_{m}^{2} \cos ^{2} \omega \mathrm{t}}{2 \mathrm{C}}+\frac{L \omega^{2} Q_{m}^{2} \sin ^{2} \omega \mathrm{t}}{2}\)

U = \(\frac{1}{2} L i^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{C}\right) q^{2}\) = constant ……………(5)
Differentiate w.r.t to time

\(\frac{d U}{d t}=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~L}\left(2 \mathrm{i} \frac{d i}{d t}\right)+\frac{1}{2 C}\left(2 q \frac{d q}{d t}\right)=0\)

\(L \frac{d^{2} q}{d t^{2}}+\frac{1}{C} q=0\) ………………(6)
q(t) = Q_m cos(ωt + Φ) ……………..(7)
current i(t)
i(t) = – I_m sin (ωt + Φ) ……………..(8)
Angular frequency of LC oscillations

\(\frac{d^{2} q}{d t^{2}}\) = – Q_m ω2 cos(ωt + Φ) ……………(9)
Substituting (7) and (9) in (6)
L[- Q_m ω² cos(ωt + ΦΠ)] + \(\frac{1}{C}\) Q_m cos(ωt + Φ) = 0
Rearranging the terms, angular frequency of LC oscillation is
ω = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\)

V. Two Mark Questions:

Question 1.
Define magnetic flux
Answer:
The magnetic flux through an area A in a magnetic field is defined as the number of magnetic field lines passing through that area.
Φ_B = ∫_A \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\) . d \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{A}}\) = BA cos θ

Question 2.
Write down the drawbacks of Eddy currents.
Answer:
When eddy currents flow in the conductor, a large amount of energy is dissipated in the form of heat. The energy loss due to the flow of eddy current is inevitable but it can be reduced to a greater extent with suitable measures. The design of the transformer core and electric motor armature is crucial in order to minimise the eddy current loss.

To reduce these losses, the core of the transformer is made up of thin laminas insulated from one another while for electric motor the winding is made up of a group of wires insulated from one another. The insulation used does not allow huge eddy currents to flow and hence losses are minimized.

Answer:

1. The application of electromagnetic induction is almost everywhere in the present life.
2. Right from home appliances to huge factories, satellite communication all need electricity for their operation.
3. So electric generators and transformers function on electromagnetic induction.
4. Sophisticated human life would not be possible without the discovery of electromagnetic induction.

Question 2.

2. For the same capacity, the three-phase alternator is small in size.
3. It is cheaper. A relatively thinner wire is sufficient for transmission.

Question 5.
What is the mean or Average value of AC? Derive it.
Answer:
The average value of alternating current is defined as the average of all values of current over the positive or negative half cycle.
\(I_{a v}=\frac{\text { Area of }+\text { +ve half cycle }(\text { or }) \text { -ve half cycle }}{\text { Base length of half cycle }}\)
Let i be mid ordinate of that strip
Area of elementary strip = i dθ
Area of +ve half – cycle = \(\int_{0}^{\pi}\) idθ = \(\int_{0}^{\pi}\) I_m sinθ dθ
= I_m \([-\cos \theta]_{\mathrm{o}}^{\pi}\) = I_m [cos π – cosθ]
= 2 I_m
Average value of AC, I_av = \(\frac{2 \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\pi}\)
I_av = 0.637 I_m
For negative half -cycle I_av = – 0.637 I_m

Answer:
1. Consider a uniform magnetic field, Field lines represented by (x).
2. A rectangular metallic frame ABCD is placed in this magnetic field its plane ⊥ to B.
3. If arm AB slides to our right side, a number of lines passing through ABCD increases and current is induced.
4. By lenz’s law induced current oppose this flux increases and try to reduce it by producing another magnetic field pointing outwards.
5. Magnetic loops of the induced field are represented by circle. Direction of the induced current is found to be anti-clockwise by using right-hand thumb rule.
6. The leftward motion of arm AB decreases magnetic flux. The induced current, this time produce a magnetic field inward direction. Flux decrease is opposed by flow of induced current, it flows in a clockwise direction.

3. When the electromagnet is switched on, the disc of the pendulum is made to oscillate, eddy currents are produced in it which oppose the oscillation.
4. A heavy damping force of eddy currents will bring the pendulum to rest within few oscillations.
5. If some slots are cut in the disc, eddy currents are reduced. The pendulum now execute several oscillations before coming to rest.
6. This clearly demonstrates the production of eddy current in the disc of the pendulum.

Question 3.

Answer:
Consider two long co-axial solenoids of the same length l, A₁ and A₂ be an area of two solenoids n₁ and n₂ be the turn density i₁ is current in solenoid 1.

B₁ = µ₀ n₁ i₁
Magnetic flux Φ₂₁ = \(\int_{A_{2}} \overrightarrow{B_{1}} \cdot \overrightarrow{d A}\) = B₁ A₂(0 = 0°)
Flux with total turns N₂
N₂ φ₂₁ = (n₂ l) (µ₀ n₁ i₁) A
N₂ φ₂₁ = (µ₀ n₁ n₂ A₂ l) i₁ ………………(1)
N₂ φ₂₁ = M₂₁ i₁
Comparing (1) and (2)
M₂₁ = µ₀ n₁ n₂ A₂ l …………………..(3)
Magnetic field produced by solenoid 2 when carrying current i₂
B₂ = µ₀ n₂ i₂
Φ₁₂ = ∫_(A2) B₂ → . dA → = B₂ A₂
= (µ₀ n₁ n₂) A₂
N₁ Φ₁₂ = (n₁ l) (µ₀ n₂ i₂) A₂

Answer:
1. Consider a circuit containing a capacitor.

2. The alternating voltage is ν = V_m sin ωt ……………(1)
emf a cross capacitor is q/c
According to Kirchoff’s loop rule
ν = q/C = 0
q = C V_m sin ωt
i = \(\frac{\mathrm{dq}}{\mathrm{dt}}\) = \(\frac{d}{d t}\) (C V_m sin ωt)
= C V_m \(\frac{d}{d t}\) sin ωt
= C V_m ω cos ωt

i = \(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}}{\mathrm{I} / \mathrm{C} \omega}\) sin (ωt + π/2)
Instantaneous Current i = I _m sin (ωt + π/2)
I _m = \(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{m}}}{1 / \omega \mathrm{c}}\) peak value of alternating current.
Current leads the voltage by π/2 (or) 90°

P = \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{V}}\) = F V cos θ, θ = 0° = F V

2. Three deflecting forces \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{1}\), \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{2}\), \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{3}\) acting on three segments of loop, the general equation is
\(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{d}}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{il}} \quad \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}}\)

3. \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{1}\), \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}_{2}\) equal and opposute so cancel each other.

4. When induced current flows in loop Joule heating takes plan Thermal energy is dissipated in the loop.
P = i² R
P = \(\left(\frac{B l V}{R}\right)^{2}\) R ……………..(2)

Question 1.
A series LCR circuit with R = 20Ω L = 1.5 H and c = 35 μF is connected to a variable frequency 200 V ac supply when the frequency of the supply equals the natural frequency of the circuit, what is the average power transferred to the circuit in one complete cycle?
Answer:
R = 20Ω, L = 1.5 H
C = 35 μF = 35 × 10^-6 F, V = 200 V
Impedence of the circuit is \(Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(X_{L}-X_{C}\right)^{2}}\)
At resonance χ_L = χ_C
Z = R = 20Ω
I = \(\frac{V}{Z}=\frac{200}{20}\) = 10A
Average power transferred to the one complete cycle.
P = I² R

Answer:
Number of turns in solenoid =15 turns/cm = 1500 turns/m
No. of turns per unit length n = 1500 turns
Small loop Area A = 2.0 cm² = 2 × 10^-4 m²
Change in current di = 4 – 2 = 2 A
Change in time dt = 0.1 s
induced emf in solenoid e = \(\frac{\mathrm{d} \varphi}{\mathrm{d} t}\)
e = \(\frac{d}{d t} (BA)\)
= Aµ₀n \(\frac{d i}{d t}\)
= 2 × 10^-4 × 4 × 10^-7 × 1500 × \(\frac{2}{0.1}\)
