The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

cos $\theta \propto \frac{1}{Z} ; \frac{Z_1}{Z_2} = \frac{cos \, \theta_1}{cos \, \theta_2} = \frac{1/4}{1/2} = \frac{1}{2} \, z_2 = 2 z_1$ Percentage change = $\frac{2 Z_1 - Z_1}{Z_1} \times 100 $= 100 %.

Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction is a current produced by the voltage production due to a changing magnetic field. This happens in one of the two conditions:-

  1. When we place the conductor in a changing magnetic field.
  2. When the conductor constantly moves in a stationary field.

Formula:

The electromagnetic induction is mathematically represented as:-

e=N × d∅.dt

Where

  • e = induced voltage
  • N = number of turns in the coil
  • Φ = Magnetic flux (This is the amount of magnetic field present on the surface)
  • t = time

Applications of Electromagnetic Induction

  1. Electromagnetic induction in AC generator
  2. Electrical Transformers
  3. Magnetic Flow Meter
