Question
The circuit diagram in fig shows two coils of an insulated copper wire wound on a cardboard tube. G is a center zero galvanometer.

(a) Describe what will happen when th e swi tch K is cl osed for severa l
seconds and then opened again .
(b) What will be the effect of repeating the experiment with an iron placed in the tube?

Solution
(a) We will observe that the needle of the galvanometer instantly jumps to one side and just as quickly returns to zero, indicating a momentary current in coil connected to galvanometer.
(b) Introducing an iron bar in the tube, will increase the amount of induced current and the galvanometer will show a greater deflection.
