  1. In an inductor of self-inductance L = 2 mH, current changes with time according to relation i = t2e–t. At what time emf is zero?

    L = 2mH, i = t2e–t

    E = - L
    di
    = - L[-t2e–t + 2te-t]
    dt

    when E = 0,
    - e-te–t + 2te-t = 0
    or,  2t e-t = e-t t2
    ⇒   t = 2 sec.

    Correct Option: C

    L = 2mH, i = t2e–t

    E = - L
    di
    = - L[-t2e–t + 2te-t]
    dt

    when E = 0,
    - e-te–t + 2te-t = 0
    or,  2t e-t = e-t t2
    ⇒   t = 2 sec.



  1. Two coils have a mutual inductance 0.005 H. The current changes in the first coil according to equation I = I0 sin ωt, where I0 = 10A and ω = 100π radian/sec. The maximum value of e.m.f. in the second coil is

    = - 0.005 ×
    d(i0 sinωt)
    dt

    = –0.005 × i0 ×(ω cos ωt)
    emax = –0.005 × i0 × ω (when cos ω t = -1)
    = 0.005 × 10 × 100π = 5π V

    Length of conductor (l) = 0.4 m; Speed (v) = 7 m/s and magnetic field (B) = 0.9 Wb/ m2. Induced e.m.f. (V) = Blv sin θ = 0.9 × 0.4 × 7 × sin 90º = 2.52 V.

    Correct Option: B

    Length of conductor (l) = 0.4 m; Speed (v) = 7 m/s and magnetic field (B) = 0.9 Wb/ m2. Induced e.m.f. (V) = Blv sin θ = 0.9 × 0.4 × 7 × sin 90º = 2.52 V.
