Question:

Two identical circular coils $A$ and $B$ are kept on a horizontal tube side by side without touching each other. If the current in the coil $A$ increases with time, in response, the coil $B$

  • remains stationary
  • is repelled
  • rotates

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

As the current in coil $A$ changes, the magnetic flux linked with coil $B$ changes, hence as a result current induces in coil $B$. The direction of induced current in coil $B$ is opposite to that of the direction of current in coil $A$ as shown in figure

Due to currents in opposite directions in the near by sides of the coil, the coil $B$ is repelled.

Faradays Laws of Induction

There are two laws, given by Faraday which explain the phenomena of electromagnetic induction:

Faraday's First Law:

Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an emf is induced. If the conductor circuit is closed, a current is induced, known as the induced current.

Faraday's Second Law:

The Emf induced inside a coil is equal to the rate of change of associated magnetic flux.

This law can be mathematically written as:

\(-N {\triangle \phi \over \triangle t}\)
