Lentz Law Revision Questions

1) A closed conducting loop by dimensions 5 cm × 2 cm is pulled out of a 2T uniform magnetic field at constant velocity v. It takes 10 s to the loop to move out of the magnetic field if initially it was entirely within the magnetic field. What is the value of the current induced in the loop after 7s if the resistance of loop is 1 Ω?

  1. 2 A anticlockwise
  2. 0.0086 A clockwise
  3. 0.00086 A anticlockwise
  4. 0.0002 A clockwise

Correct Answer: D

2) The figure shows three identical circular conducting loops placed inside uniform magnetic fields that are either increasing (Inc) or decreasing (Dec) in magnitude at identical rates. In each figure the dashed line represents a diameter. Which is true for the magnitude of the current induced in the loops?

  1. iA = iB while iC = 0
  2. iA > iB while iC = 0
  3. iA = iB = 0 while iC > 0
  4. iA = iB = iC

Correct Answer: A

What is the direction of the induced current (if any) flows through the resistor in both cases?

  1. 1 - due left; 2 - no current is flowing
  2. 1 - due left; 2 - due right
  3. 1 - due right; 2 - due left
  4. No current is flowing through the resistor in either case as there is no battery connected in the circuit

Correct Answer: C
