Ram is a student of class X in a village school. His uncle gifted him a bicycle with a dynamo fitted in it. He was very excited to get it. While cycling during night, he could light the bulb and see the objects on the road. He, however, did not know how this device works. he asked this question to his teacher. The teacher considered it an opportunity to explain the working to the whole class.

Answer the following questions:
(a) State the principle and working of a dynamo.

(b) Write two values each displayed by Ram and his school teacher.

Explain the meaning of the term mutual inductance.

When a bar magnet is pushed towards (or away) from the coil connected to a galvanometer, the pointer in the galvanometer deflects. Identify the phenomenon causing this deflection and write the factors on which the amount and direction of the deflection depends. State the laws describing this phenomenon.

A square loop MNOP of side 20 cm is placed horizontally in a uniform magnetic field acting vertically downwards as shown in the figure. The loop is pulled with a constant velocity of 20 cm s⁻¹ till it goes out of the field.

(i) Depict the direction of the induced current in the loop as it goes out of the field. For how long would the current in the loop persist?

(ii) Plot a graph showing the variation of magnetic flux and induced emf as a function of time.

A long solenoid with 15 turns per cm has a small loop of area 2.0 cm² placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current carried by the solenoid changes steadily from 2.0 A to 4.0 A in 0.1 s, what is the induced emf in the loop while the current is changing?

A pair of adjacent coils has a mutual inductance of 1.5 H. If the current in one coil changes from 0 to 20 A in 0.5 s, what is the change of flux linkage with the other coil?

What is the direction of induced currents in metal rings 1 and 2 when current I in the wire is increasing steadily? 

A pair of adjacent coils has a mutual inductance of 1.5 H. If the current in one coil changes from 0 to 20 A in 0.5 s, what is the change of flux linkage with the other coil?

Consider two concentric circular coils, one of radius r₁ and the other of radius r₂ (r₁ < r₂) placed coaxially with centers coinciding with each other. Obtain the expression for the mutual inductance of the arrangement.

Show that Lenz's law is a consequence of conservation of energy.

Give one example of use of eddy currents.

Define self-inductance. Write its SI units.
