Question
In the arrangement shown in Figure there are two coils wound on a non-conducting cylindrical rod. Initially the key is not inserted. Then the key is inserted and later removed. Then
Options
the deflection in the galvanometer remains zero throughout
there is a momentary deflection in the galvanometer but it dies out shortly and there is no effect when the key is removed
there are momentary galvanometer deflections that die out shortly; the deflections are in the same direction
there are momentary galvanometer deflections that die out shortly; the deflections are in opposite directions

Solution
there are momentary galvanometer deflections that die out shortly; the deflections are in opposite directions
Explanations -
As the current in the first coil changes, the magnetic field associated with it also changes. Thus the magnetic field lines around the other coil also change. Hence the change in magnetic field lines associated with the secondary coil is the cause of induced electric current in it by the process of electromagnetic induction. Due to this reason, a momentary deflection in the galvanometer will be observed which will die out soon when the current flowing through the first coil attains a steady state.
Due to a similar phenomenon, a momentary deflection is again observed in the opposite direction when the key is removed.

Read the given passage and answer the following questions:
The home electrical connection consists of ‘live’, ‘neutral’ and ‘earth’ wires. The ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires have potential difference of 220 V. The ‘earth’ is connected to ground. Due to a fault in the equipment or if the plastic coating on the ‘live’ and the ‘neutral’ wires gives a way the two wires come in contact with each other and a large current flows through it producing heat. If any inflammable material (such as wood, cloth, plastic, etc.) exists around that place it can catch fire. Therefore a fuse wire is used as a precautionary measure.
