29.Read the para given below and answer the questions that follow:

Self Induction. When a current I flows through a coil, flux linked with it is φ
= LI, where L is a constant known as self inductance of the coil.
Any charge in current sets up an induced emf in the coil. Thus, self
inductance of a coil is the induced emf set up in it when the current passing
through it changes at the unit rate. It is a measure of the opposition to the
growth or the decay of current flowing through the coil. Also, value of self
inductance depends on the number of turns in the solenoid, its area of
cross-section and the permeability of its core material.

(a) inertia in mechanics

varies from 9 A to 4 A in 0.2
second is
(a) 200 V
(b) 250 V
(c) 300 V
(d) 350 V
(iv) The inductance L of a solenoid depends upon its radius R as
(a) L ∝ R
(b) L ∝ 1/R
(c) L ∝ R2
(d) L ∝ R3
OR
 Lenz's law states that the direction of induced current in a circuit is such
that it opposes the change which produces it. Thus, if the magnetic flux
linked with a closed circuit increases, the induced current flows in such a
direction that magnetic flux is created in the opposite direction of the
original magnetic flux. If the magnetic flux linked with the closed circuit
decreases, the induced current flows in such a direction so as to create
magnetic flux in the direction of the original flux.

(i) Which of the following statements is correct?

(a) The induced e.rn.f is not in the direction opposing the change in magnetic flux so as t
which produces it.
(b) The relative motion between the coil and magnet produces change in magnetic flux.

(a) Ampere's circuital law (b) Biot-Savart law

(c) Lenz's law (d) Fleming's right hand rule

(a) charge (b) mass (c) momentum (d) energy

(iv) Near a circular loop of conducting wire as shown in the figure, an

electron moves along a straight line. The direction of the induced current if
any in the loop is

(a) variable (b) clockwise

(PMMC) mechanism and was designed by the scientist Darsonval.

Moving coil galvanometers are of two types

(i) Suspended coll
(ii) Pivoted coil type or tangent galvanometer,

Its working is based on the fact that when a current carrying coil is placed
in a magnetic field, it experiences a torque. This torque tends to rotate the
coil about its axis of suspension in such a way that the magnetic flux
passing through the coil is maximum.

Current loop behaves likes a magnetic dipole and has a magnetic field.
They behave just like a magnet. Interesting part is, it depends upon the
direction of current in loop which decides whether magnetic field line is in
outward or inward direction. With the help of this outward and inward
direction of magnetic field, North and South poles get decided.
Anticlockwise direction of current creates north pole (outward direction
magnetic field) and clockwise direction of current creates a south pole
(inward direction magnetic field).

and of area A. The magnitude of m is given by
m=I x A
Current in the circular coil produces magnetic field and amperes found out
that magnetic field created due to circular coil is similar to the magnetic
field due to a bar magnet. Wood screw head sign shows that direction of
screw is inward because we are not able to see pointed part of screw and
so direction is inward. This inward direction of screw denotes the direction
of the magnetic field. 1. A thin circular wire carrying a current I, has a
