Question:

A small coil is introduced between the poles of an electromagnet so that its axis coincides with the magnetic field direction. The number of turns is n and the cross-sectional area of the coil is $A$. When the coil turns through $180^{\circ}$ about its diameter, the charge flowing through the coil is $Q$. The total resistance of the circuit is $R$. What is the magnitude of the magnetic induction?

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Induced charge $Q=-\frac{n B A}{R}\left(\cos \theta_{2}-\cos \theta_{1}\right)$
$=-\frac{n B A}{R}\left(\cos 180^{\circ}-\cos 0^{\circ}\right)$
$\Rightarrow B=\frac{Q R}{2 n A}$

Inductance

Inductance is a key parameter in electrical and electronic circuit designs. Like resistance and capacitance, it is a basic electrical measurement that affects all circuits to some degree.

Inductance is used in many areas of electrical and electronic systems and circuits. The electronic components can be in a variety of forms and may be called by a variety of names: coils, inductors, chokes, transformers, . . . Each of these may also have a variety of different variants: with and without cores and the core materials may be of different types.

There are two ways in which inductance is used:

  • Self-inductance: Self-inductance is the property of a circuit, often a coil, whereby a change in current causes a change in voltage in that circuit due to the magnetic effect of caused by the current flow. It can be seen that self-inductance applies to a single circuit - in other words it is an inductance, typically within a single coil. This effect is used in single coils or chokes.
  • Mutual-inductance: Mutual inductance is an inductive effect where a change in current in one circuit causes a change in voltage across a second circuit as a result of a magnetic field that links both circuits. This effect is used in transformers.
