Class 12 Physics NCERT Solutions Electromagnetic Induction Important Questions
Q 1. Predict the direction of induced current in the situations described by the following figures.
Answer:
Lenz’s law shows the direction of the induced current in a closed loop. The given two figures show the direction of induced current when the North pole of a bar magnet is moved towards and away from a closed loop, respectively.
We can predict the direction of induced current in different situations by using Lenz’s rule:
(i) The direction of the induced current is along qrpq.
(ii) The direction of the induced current is along prq along yzx.
(iii) The direction of the induced current is along yzxy.
(iv) The direction of the induced current is along zyxz.
(v) The direction of the induced current is along xryx.

Q 3. A long solenoid with 15 turns per cm has a small loop of area 2.0 cm2 placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current carried by the solenoid changes steadily from 2.0 A to 4.0 A in 0.1 s, what is the induced emf in the loop while the current is changing?
Ans:
Number of turns on the solenoid – 15 turns/cm = 1500 turns / m
Number of turns per unit length, n = 1500 turns
The solenoid has a small loop of area, A = 2.0 cm2 = 2 × 10−4 m2
The current carried by the solenoid changes from 2 A to 4 A.

Q 6. A circular coil of radius 8.0 cm and 20 turns is rotated about its vertical diameter with an angular speed of 50 rad s–1 in a uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude 3.0 × 10–2 T. Obtain the maximum and average emf induced in the coil. If the coil forms a closed loop of resistance 10 Ω, calculate the maximum value of current in the coil. Calculate the average power loss due to Joule heating. Where does this power come from?
Ans:
Maximum emf induced = 0.603 V
Average emf induced = 0 V

The maximum current is given as:
Average power because of the Joule heating:
The torque produced by the current induced in the coil opposes the normal rotation of the coil. To keep the rotation of the coil continuous, we must find a source of torque which opposes the torque by the emf, so here the rotor works as an external agent. Hence, dissipated power comes from the external rotor.

All three (rod, rails and the magnetic field ) are in a mutually perpendicular direction. There is a galvanometer ‘G’ connected through the rails by using a switch ‘K’.Given, Rod’s length = 15 cm , Magnetic field strength, B = 0.50 T, Resistance produced by the closed-loop =
(i) Determine the polarity and the magnitude of the induced emf if we will keep the K open, and the rod will be moved with the speed of 12 cm/s in the direction shown in the figure.
 (ii) When the K was open, was there any excess charge built up? Assuming that K is closed, then what will happen after it?
 (iii) When the rod was moving uniformly, and the K was open, then on the electron in the rod PQ, there was no net force even though they did not experience any magnetic field because of the motion of the rod. Explain.
 (iv) After closing the K, calculate the retarding force.
 (v) When the K will be closed, calculate the total external power which will be required to keep moving the rod at the same speed (12 cm/s), and also calculate the power required when K will be closed.
 (vi) What would be the power loss ( in the form of heat) when the circuit is closed? What would be the source of this power?
 (vii) Calculate the emf induced in the moving rod if the direction of the magnetic field is changed from perpendicular to parallel to the rails?
Ans:
Length of the rod, l = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Resistance produced by the closed-loop, R =
(i)
The polarity of the emf induced is in such a way that its P end is showing positive, while the other end, i.e. Q, is showing negative.
Since, speed, v = 12cm/s = 0.12 m/s
Emf induced is: e = Bvl
= 0.5 × 0.12 × 0.15
=
= 9 mV
Here, the polarity of the emf is induced in a way that the P end shows +ve and the Q end shows -ve.
(ii) Yes, when the key K was opened, then at both ends, there was excess charge built up.
An excess charge was also built up when the key K was closed, and that charge was maintained by the continuous flow of current.
(iii) Because of the electric charge set-up, there was an excess charge of the opposite nature at both ends of the rod. Because of that, the Magnetic force was cancelled up.
When the key K was opened, then there was no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ, and the rod was moving uniformly. It is because of the cancelled magnetic field on the rod.
(iv) Regarding force exerted on the rod, F = IBl
Where,
I = current flowing through the rod
(v)
No power will be expended when the key K is opened.
Speed of the rod, v = 12 cm/s = 0.12 m /s
Hence,
Power, P = Fv
When the key K is opened, no power is expended.
(vi) 9mW,
Power is provided by an external agent.
Power loss in the form of heat is given as follows:
=

= 9 mW
(vii) Zero (0)
There would be no emf induced in the coil. As the emf induces if the motion of the rod cuts the field lines. But in this case, the movement of the rod does not cut across the field lines.

Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction of Class 12 Physics, is prepared according to the current CBSE Syllabus 2023-24. The NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Physics of this chapter discusses magnetism and electricity together. Faraday’s law should be well understood. Faraday’s law states that any change in the magnetic field of a current-carrying conductor results in voltage (emf) being induced in the conductor. Lenz’s law states that there is always a counter-force opposing the induced emf. Both laws are important from an exam point of view.
Numerical problems from these concepts are often asked. While solving the numerical problems, students should keep in mind the direction of induced emf and magnetic field. One can get a good understanding of these problems by solving practice problems of NCERT Class 12 Physics Electromagnetic Induction and by referring to NCERT Solutions for Class 12 Chapter 6 of Physics to understand the correct method of solving problems.
