   Q.In electromagnetic induction, the induced e.m.f. is independent of which of the following?

   (a) Change in flux

   (b) Time

   (c) Number of turns

   (d) Resistance of the coil

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   By Faraday's law, $\varepsilon=-N\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}$ — resistance appears only later, when you use $\varepsilon$ to find the induced current, not in the e.m.f. itself.

   Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states that the induced e.m.f. in a coil of $N$ turns is $\varepsilon=-N\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}$, where $\Phi$ is the magnetic flux linked with one turn. This expression explicitly contains the change in flux, the time over which it changes (through the derivative), and the number of turns $N$ — so the e.m.f. genuinely depends on all three. The resistance $R$ of the coil only comes into …

   Q.The flux on a coil of 50 turns changes from 0.3 Wb to 0.5 Wb in 8 seconds. The induced e.m.f. in the coil is

   (a) 10 V

   (b) 0.6 V

   (c) $-12$ V

   (d) $-1.25$ V

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, $\varepsilon=-N\,d\Phi/dt$, directly gives the induced EMF from the given rate of change of flux linkage.

   Given data

   • Number of turns, $N=50$
   • Initial flux, $\Phi_1 = 0.3$ Wb
   • Final flux, $\Phi_2 = 0.5$ Wb
   • Time interval, $\Delta t = 8$ s

   Faraday's law

   $\varepsilon = -N\,\frac{\Delta\Phi}{\Delta t}$

   Substituting

   $\Delta\Phi = \Phi_2-\Phi_1 = 0.5 - 0.3 = 0.2\text{ Wb}$

   Q.The expression for the magnetic flux in a circuit having resistance 7 Ω is φ = 6t² − 5t + 4. In time t = 1 second, the induced current will be

   (a) 1·2 A

   (b) 0·8 A

   (c) 0·5 A

   Induced emf is the time-rate of change of flux: ε = −dφ/dt = −(12t − 5). At t = 1 s, |ε| = 7 V, and I = ε/R = 7/7 = 1 A. Option (d).

   Q.The magnetic flux linked with a coil changes with time $t$ as $\phi=(8t^{2}+5t+7)$, where $t$ is in seconds and $\phi$ is in Wb. The value of the emf induced in the coil at $t=4$ s is: (A) 32 V (B) 37 V (C) 64 V (D) 69 V

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The induced emf is the negative rate of change of flux, $e = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}$. Differentiating $\phi = 8t^2 + 5t + 7$ gives $e = -(16t + 5)$. At $t = 4$ s, this evaluates to $e = -69$ V, so the magnitude is 69 V, which corresponds to option (D).

   The core idea here is Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction: whenever the magnetic flux linked with a coil changes with time, an emf is induced in the coil. The law states that the induced emf is equal to the negative rate of change of flux. The negative sign (Lenz’s law) tells us the direction of the induced emf — it opposes the change causing it. But for magnitude questions like this one, we often just take the absolute value.

   The flux is given as a simple polynomial in time: $\phi = 8t^2 + 5t + 7$. Notice that the constant term $7$ Wb represents a steady flux that doesn’t change with time — it contributes nothing to the induced emf. Only the terms that depend on $t$ matter.

   Let’s work through it step by step.

   1. Write down Faraday’s law The instantaneous induced emf $e$ is given by:

   $e = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}$

   Here, $\phi$ is in weber (Wb) and $t$ in seconds, so $e$ comes out in volts (V).

   2. Differentiate the flux expression

   $\phi = 8t^2 + 5t + 7$

   Differentiate term by term:

   • Derivative of $8t^2$ is $16t$
   • Derivative of $5t$ is $5$
   • Derivative of $7$ (constant) is $0$ So:

   $\frac{d\phi}{dt} = 16t + 5$

   3. Apply the negative sign

   $e = -(16t + 5)$

   4. Substitute $t = 4$ s

   $e = -(16 \times 4 + 5) = -(64 + 5) = -69 \text{ V}$

   Q.The magnetic flux linked with a Coil is given by $\phi = 5t^2 + 3t + 16$, where $\phi$ is in Weber and t is in seconds. The induced e.m.f. in the Coil at t = 5s will be:

   (a) 6 volt

   (b) 10 volt

   (c) 53 volt

   (d) 43 volt.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Induced emf $= -\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$; differentiate the given flux and substitute t = 5 s.

   Given $\phi = 5t^2 + 3t + 16$ (Weber).

   $e = -\frac{d\phi}{dt} = -(10t + 3)$

   At $t = 5\,s$: $e = -(10\times5 + 3) = -53\,V$.

   Q.In electromagnetic induction, the induced e.m.f is independent of –

   (a) change of flux

   (b) time

   (c) number of turns of the coil

   (d) resistance of the coil

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Faraday's law gives emf purely from the rate of change of flux — resistance plays no part in it.

   By Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf is $\varepsilon = -N\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}$, where $N$ is the number of turns and $\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}$ is the rate of change of magnetic flux through one turn. This expression depends on the change of flux, the time over which it changes, and the number of turns — but NOT on the re …

   Q.When a magnet is taken towards a coil, the induced emf depends on

   (a) the number of turns in the coil

   (b) the speed of the magnet

   (c) the resistance of the coil

   (d) magnetic moment of the magnet.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   By Faraday's law, induced emf = rate of change of flux linkage; for a given coil and magnet, that rate is controlled by the magnet's speed.

   Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction states

   $\varepsilon = -N\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

   where $N$ is the number of turns and $d\phi/dt$ is the rate of change of magnetic flux through the coil.

   When a magnet is moved towards a coil, the flux linked with the coil changes because the magnet's distance from the coil changes with time. The FASTER the magnet moves, the more rapidly the flux changes, and hence the larger the induced emf — this is the direct meaning of $d\phi/dt$.

    Q.In AC generator, if the rotational velocity of armature is doubled, the induced emf will :

    (a) become half

    (b) become double

    (c) become zero

    (d) remains unchanged

    ›Reveal solutionSolution

    Peak emf of an AC generator is directly proportional to the angular (rotational) velocity of the armature.

    For a coil of N turns, area A, rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ in a uniform field B, the instantaneous emf is $\varepsilon = NBA\omega \sin(\omega t)$, so the peak emf is $\varepsilon_0 = NBA\omega$. Since $\varepsilon_0 \propto \omega$, doubling the r …
