प्रश्न
Consider a metal ring kept on top of a fixed solenoid (say on a carboard) (Figure). The centre of the ring coincides with the axis of the solenoid. If the current is suddenly switched on, the metal ring jumps up. Explain

उत्तर
This problem is based on Lenz’s law and according to this law, the direction of induced emf or current in a circuit is such as to oppose the cause that produces it.
Initially, there is no flux linked with the ring or we can say that initially flux through the ring is zero. When the switch is closed current start flowing in the circuit, magnetic flux is linked through the ring. Thus increase in flux takes place.
According to Lenz’s law, this increase will be resisted and this can happen if the ring moves away from the solenoid.
This happen because the flux increases will cause an anticlockwise current (as seen from the top in the ring in figure.), i.e., opposite direction to that in the solenoid.
This makes the same sense of the flow of current in the ring (when viewed from the bottom of the ring) and solenoid forming same magnetic pole in front of each other. Hence, they will repel each other and the ring will move upward.

A metallic ring of mass m and radius `l` (ring being horizontal) is falling under gravity in a region having a magnetic field. If z is the vertical direction, the z-component of magnetic field is Bz = Bo (1 + λz).
