Electromagnetic Induction

Question:

Figure shows two bulbs B1 and B2, resistor R and an inductor L. When the switch S is turned off,

Options:

both B1 and B2 die out promptly

            

  both B1 and B2 die out with some delay

B1 dies out promptly but B2 with some delay

B2 dies out promptly but B1 with some delay

Correct Answer:

B1 dies out promptly but B2 with some delay

Explanation:

Here the bulb B1 will die out promptly but B2 with some delay. The reason is that the branch of bulb B2 contains inductance. Due to the effect in inductance, the current in this branch continues to flow for sometime even the switch S is turned off.
