A wire in the form of a tightly wound solenoid is connected to a DC source, and carries a current. If the coil is stretched so that there are gaps between successive elements of the spiral coil, will the current increase or decrease? Explain.

उत्तर
This law gives the direction of induced emf/induced current. According to this law, the direction of induced emf or current in a circuit is such as to oppose the cause that produces it. This law is based upon the law of conservation of energy.
- When AT-pole of a bar magnet moves towards the coil, the flux associated with the loop increases and an emf is induced in it. Since the circuit of loop is closed, induced current also flows in it.
- Cause of this induced current is approach of north pole and therefore to oppose the cause, i.e., to repel the approaching north pole, the induced current in loop is in such a direction so that the front face of loop behaves as north pole. Therefore induced current as seen by observer O is in anticlockwise direction (figure).

According to the given situation as the coil is stretched so that there are gaps between successive elements of the spiral coil, i.e., the wires are pulled apart which leads to the flux leak through the gaps.
According to Lenz’s law, the emf induced in these spirals must oppose this decrease in magnetic flux, which can be done by an increase in current. So, the current will increase.

A long solenoid ‘S’ has ‘n’ turns per meter, with diameter ‘a’. At the centre of this coil we place a smaller coil of ‘N’ turns and diameter ‘b’ (where b < a).
