19 (a) According to Lenz's law, the direction of the induced emf is such that it tends to 1
produce a current that would oppose the change in the magnetic flux that produced it.
The wire here is expanding to form a circle, which means that force would be acting
outwards on each part of wire because of the magnetic field (acting in the downwards
direction). Now, the direction of induced current should be such that it will produce a
magnetic field in the upward direction (towards the reader). Therefore, the force on
wire will be towards inward direction, i.e., induced current would be flowing in
anticlockwise direction in the loop from cbad.
(b) On deforming the shape of a circular loop into a narrow straight wire, the flux 1
piercing the surface decreases. Therefore, the induced current flows along abcd
according to Lenz’s law.
(Also reward full mark for other relevant answer.)

OR
Mutual inductance equals the magnetic flux associated with a coil when unit current
½
flows in its neighbouring coil.
 a)When the Separation between the coils is increased, the flux linked with the ½
secondary coils decreases. Therefore, the mutual induction decreases.
(b) As mutual inductance,
M=μ0N1N2A/l ½
Therefore, when N1 and N2 increases, the mutual induction also increases.
(c) As mutual inductance, M 𝖺 μr (Relative permeability of material).
Therefore, mutual induction will increase. ½

(ii) The total current is the sum of conduction current (ic) and displacement current (id),
so we have
½

This means that outside the capacitor plates in connecting wires, we have only
conduction current ic = i and no displacement current (id = 0). On the other hand,
inside the capacitor, there is no conduction current (ic = 0) and there is only
displacement current hence i = id. ½
It is why there is momentary deflection in the galvanometer at the time of charging or
discharging a capacitor.

Resistivity of a conductor depends on the following factors:
(1) It is inversely proportional to the number of free electrons per unit volume (n) of the ½
conductor. (2) It is inversely proportional to the average relaxation time (τ) of the free ½
electrons in the conductor.

Transformer : A transformer is a device with the help
of which, a given alternating voltage can be
increased or decreased to any desired value. The
first type of transformer which delivers an output
voltage smaller than the input voltage is called a step
down transformer. The second type of transformer
which delivers an output voltage larger than the input voltage is called a step up transformer.

Principle : An e.m.f. is induced in the secondary coil due to the changes of current in a
½
neighboring coil.

Working:When an alternating current source is connected to the ends of primary coil,

the current changes continuously in the primary coil, due to which magnetic flux linked
with the secondary coil changes continuously. Therefore, the alternating emf of same
frequency is developed across the secondary terminals. According to Faraday's laws,

Let ε1 and ε2 be the emfs of the two cells connected in parallel and r1 and r2 be their intermal
resistance respectively I1 and I2 are the currents leaving the positive electrodes of the cells.
At B1, currents I1 and I2 flow in whereas the current I flows out. Therefore I=I1+I2
Let V1 and V2 be the potentials at B1 and B2 respectively. ½
P.d across the first cell is V1−V2=V=ε1−I1r1 ½

from these points spread out in all directions with the speed of the wave. These wavelets emanating
from the wavefront are usually referred to as secondary wavelets, a common tangent to all these 1
spheres gives the new position of the wavefront at a later time.

(i)Since, the locus of all points equidistant from the point
source is a sphere therefore, the shape of the wavefront
in case of light diverging from a point source will be
spherical. 1
The shape of the wavefront is shown in figure below.

ii)Star is considered as a point source of light. Since, it is very

far away from earth, so the spherical wavefronts of star
reaching to the earth are very large spheres. As we see only
a small area of this large sphere therefore, it looks like a 1
