Question
What is the direction of induced currents in metal rings 1 and 2 when current I in the wire is increasing steadily?
Advertisements
Solution
Using Lenz's Law we can predict the direction of induced current in both the rings. Induced current opposes the cause of increasing of magnetic flux.
So, induced current will be clockwise in ring 1 and anticlockwise in ring 2.

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). If R is the resistance of the ring and if the ring falls with a velocity v, find the energy lost in the resistance. If the ring has reached a constant velocity, use the conservation of energy to determine v in terms of m, B, λ and acceleration due to gravity g.
A coil is suspended in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the coil parallel to the magnetic lines of force. When a current is passed through the coil it starts oscillating: It is very difficult to stop. But if an aluminium plate is placed near to the coil, it stops. This is due to:
