  • MCQ

Three identical coils \(C _1, C _2\) and \(C _3\) are closely placed such that they share a common axis.\(C _2\) is exactly midway.\(C _1\) carries current I in anti-clockwise direction while \(C _3\) carries current I in clockwise direction. An induced current flows through \(C _2\), will be in clockwise direction when

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( C_{1} \) moves towards \( C_{2} \) and \( C_{3} \) moves away from \( C_{2} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation


image
Magnetic field through the coil is
\( \vec{B}=(B_{C_{2}}-B_{C_{1}})\hat{i} \)
\( \phi=(B_{C_{2}}-B_{C_{1}})A \)
\( \epsilon=\frac{-d\phi}{dt} \)
Find the direction according to Lenz's law.
If coil move away then magnetic field decreases & vice versa
