Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current 1 Question 16

16. Three identical closed coils A,B and C are placed with their planes parallel to one another. Coils A and C carry equal currents

as shown in figure. Coils B and C are fixed in position and coil A is moved towards B with uniform motion. Is there any induced current in B ? If no, give reasons. If yes, mark the direction of the induced current in the diagram.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 16. Yes, in the direction opposite to A.

Solution:

  1. Due to the current in A, a magnetic field is from right to left. When A is moved towards B, magnetic lines passing through B (from right to left) will increase, i.e. magnetic flux passing through B will increase. Therefore, current will be induced in B. The induced current will have such a direction that it gives a magnetic field opposite to that, passing through B due to current in A. Therefore, induced current in B will be in opposite direction of current in A.
