Correct option is C
Given:
Two coils (A and B):
- Coil A: Connected to a battery through a key.
- Coil B: Connected to a galvanometer.
- Setup: Coils are arranged parallel and close to each other.
Conditions for Electromagnetic Induction:
Electromagnetic induction occurs when there is a change in magnetic flux through coil B. This can happen during the following durations:
When the key is closed in coil A:
- Closing the key allows current to start flowing through coil A, creating a changing magnetic field.
- This changing magnetic field induces a current in coil B, observed as a deflection in the galvanometer connected to coil B.
When the key is opened in coil A:
- Opening the key stops the current in coil A, causing a sudden change (decrease) in the magnetic field.
- This changing magnetic field induces a current in coil B, seen as a deflection in the galvanometer.
Note:
- No electromagnetic induction will be observed when the current in coil A is steady (after the key has been closed for some time). This is because a steady current produces a constant magnetic field, leading to no change in magnetic flux through coil B.
The correct answer is option ( c ) only ( B )
