SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. e=L dI/dt
dI/dt=(induced emf)/inductance=16/4=4 A/s
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. If all flux from the current in coil 1 links with coil 2, then that is referred as an ideal coupling. For an ideal coupling, the coefficient coupling is 1. Any other coupling the coupling co-efficient is always less than 1.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Magnetic field, H=i/2πr A/m
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Energy loss due to magnetize and demagnetize the core.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. L_1=8 mH L_2=18 mH
K= 0.5
Total inductance
=L1+L2+2M
where; M=K√(L1*L2 )
Total inductance=8+18+2 X 0.5√144
=26+12=38 mH
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Energy stored in magnetic field

=2.43×10^(-3) J
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Q=XC/R=XC/5=60
∴Inductive reactance=XC=60×5=300 Ω
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. inductance of a coil (L)=(N^2µA)/l
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. for series connection of inductance: Leqv=L1+L2+L3=1+5+6=12 mH
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. The expression of the mutual inductance between two magnetically coupled coils is as follows;

Where, μr = Relative permeability of core N = The number of the turns of the coil A = Cross sectional area of their common core Hence, the mutual inductance depends on all the above factors.
