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 \(B\)

  1. A is attracted by A
  2. B remains stationary
  3. C is repelled
  4. D rotates
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) is repelled

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

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.
