A solenoid of inductance L and resistance R has a soft iron core. It is connected to a battery of E.M.F E as shown in the figure and allowed to attain its steady state. At an instant, the iron core is suddenly pulled out and because of it, inductance decreases to L 3 . The work done by an external agent in pulling out the iron core is
Options
- ALE 2 R 2
- B2 LE 2 R 2
- CLE 2 2 R 2
- DLE 2 4 R 2
Correct answer
A. LE 2 R 2
Step-by-step solution
Flux does not change suddenly. ∴   L 1 I 1 = L 2 I 2 ∴    W = U 2 − U 1 = 1 2 × L 3 × 3 E R 2 − 1 2 × L × E R 2 = 3 E 2 L 2 R 2 − E 2 L 2 R 2 = E 2 L R 2
