Question and Answer (2 marks):-

1. State Lenz's law. Use it to predict the polarity of the
capacitor in the situation given below:

Answer:- Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced emf and
the direction of induced current are such that they oppose the
cause which produces them. Here, the North pole is approaching
the loop, so the induced current in the face of loop viewed from left
side will flow in such a way that it will behave like North pole, so
South pole is developed on loop when viewed from right hand side
of the loop. The flow of induced current is clockwise, hence A
acquires positive polarity and B acquires negative polarity.

(ω) is same for both loops, therefore, induced emf will be
same for both loops.
(iv) induced current produced in discs between its centre
and edge. Justify your answers.
 Answer:- Current, I = ε/R
As, resistance of copper is less than that of aluminium,
therefore, current induced in copper loop will be more.

3. State Lenz's law. Determine the direction of the induced

current when a rectangular conducting loop in xy-plane is
moved into a region of magnetic field which is directed
along z-axis.
 Answer:- According to Lenz's law, the direction of induced emf in a
circuit is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux
responsible for its production.
As the loop moves, the flux increases. Therefore, according to
Lenz's law, the direction of induced current in the loop would be in
anticlockwise direction i.e., along bcdab.
4. Answer the following question:
(a) State Lenz's law. In a closed circuit, the induced
current opposes the change in magnetic flux that
produced it as per the law of conservation of energy,
Justify.
Answer:- Lenz's law states that the direction of the induced. emf
and the direction of induced current are such that they opposes
the cause which produces them.

When the N pole of a magnet is moved towards a coil, the

induced current in the coil flows in anticlockwise direction on the
side of magnet, so as to acquire north polarity and oppose the
motion of the magnet towards the coil, by applying repulsive
force on it.
In order to continue the change in magnetic flux linked with
the circuit, some work is to be done or some energy has to be
spent against the opposition offered by induced EMF. This energy
spent by the external source ultimately appears in the circuit in
the form of electrical energy. Suppose that the Lenz's law is not
valid. Then the induced current flows through the coil in a
direction opposite to one dictated by Lenz's law. The resulting
force on the magnet makes it move faster and faster, i.e., the
magnet gains speed and hence kinetic energy without expanding
an equivalent amount of energy. This sets up a perpetual motion
machine, violating the law of conservation of energy. Thus Lenz's
law is valid and is a consequence of the law of
conservation of energy.

principle and working of an ac generator. Hence,
obtain an expression for the instantaneous value of
the emf generated.
(iii) The coil of an ac generator consists of 100 turns of
wire, each of area 0.5 m2 .The resistance of the wire
is 100 Ω. The coil is rotating in a magnetic field of 0.8
T perpendicular to its axis of rotation, at a constant
 angular speed of 60 radian per second. Calculate the
maximum emf generated and power dissipated in the
coil.
