Question:

Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s).

Consider a coil C1 connected to galvanometer as shown. Another current carrying coil Cis placed next to the first coil. 

 

In context to this, answer the following question.

If the coil C2 is held fixed, what happens to the galvanometer needle?

Options:

Goes on deflecting in the direction it was

Deflects in the opposite direction

Stays stationary where it was

Comes back to zero

Correct Answer:

Comes back to zero

Explanation:

As there is no motion between the coils, no current flows through it and so the galvanometer reading shows no deflection at all.
