Figure shows a coil C connected to a galvanometer G. When the North-pole of a bar magnet is pushed towards the coil, the pointer in the galvanometer deflects. Regarding this set up, the following statements are given: (A) It indicates the presence of electric current in the coil. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A), (C) and (D) only (A), (B) and (C) only (A), (B), (C) and (D) (B), (C) and (D) only |
(A), (C) and (D) only |
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A), (C) and (D) only Explanation: (A) ✔ True — The deflection of the galvanometer indicates that an induced current flows in the coil due to electromagnetic induction. (B) ✖ False — The deflection becomes larger when the magnet is moved faster, because the rate of change of magnetic flux is greater. (C) ✔ True — According to Lenz’s law, the induced current opposes the cause producing it; hence, the coil develops a pole that repels the approaching North pole of the magnet. (D) ✔ True — If the magnet is stationary, there is no change in magnetic flux, so no induced current is produced. |
