NEET2018PhysicsElectromagnetic InductionActual
Two identical circular coils A and B are kept on a horizontal tube side by side without touching each other. If the current in the coil A increases with time, in response, the coil B
Options
- Ais attracted by A
- Bremains stationary
- Cis repelled
- Drotates
Correct answer
C. is repelled
Step-by-step solution
As the current in coil A changes, the magnetic flux linked with coil B changes, hence as a result current induces in coil B . The direction of induced current in coil B is opposite to that of the direction of current in coil A as shown in figure Due to currents in opposite directions in the near by sides of the coil, the coil B is repelled.
