A light disc made of aluminum (a nonmagnetic material) is kept horizontally and is free to rotate about its axis as shown in the figure. A strong magnet is held vertically at a point above the disc away from its axis. On revolving the magnet about the axis of the disc, the disc will (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)

- A rotate in the direction opposite to the direction of magnet's motion
- B rotate in the same direction as the direction of magnet's motion
- C not rotate and its temperature will remain unchanged
- D not rotate but its temperature will slowly rise
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) rotate in the same direction as the direction of magnet's motion
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When we start rotating the magnet above the disc, eddy currents will be generated in the disc. Now we know from Lenz's law that the induced emf will drive the current such that it opposes the cause of the production of induced emf. Hence the disc will rotate in the same direction as the direction of magnet's motion

- Statement 1 For practical purposes, the earth is used as a reference at zero potential in electrical circuits.
and Statement 2 The electrical potential of a sphere of radius \(R\) with charge \(Q\) uniformly distributed on the surface is given by \(\frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 R}\).JEE Advanced 2008 Easy - Paragraph :
When a particle of mass \(m\) moves on the \(x\)-axis in a potential of the form \(V(x)=k x^2\), it performs simple harmonic motion.
The corresponding time period is proportional to \(\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\), as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on both sides of \(x=0\) in a way different from \(k x^2\) and its total energy is such that the particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass \(\mathrm{m}\) moving on the \(x\)-axis. Its potential energy is \(V(x)=\alpha x^4(\alpha>0)\) for \(|x|\) near the origin and becomes a constant equal to \(V_0\) for \(|x| \geq X_0\) (see figure).
