CBSE Class 12 Physics 2023: question 28
Set in the CBSE Class 12 board exam of 2023, paper 55/1/1, section C, question 28, for 3 marks. Try it first; the hints and our step-by-step solution are below.
Q28 · 3 marks · Short answerElectromagnetic Induction
A long solenoid of radius r consists of n turns per unit length. A current flows in the solenoid. A coil of N turns is wound tightly around it near its centre. What is :
(a) the induced emf in the coil ?
(b) the mutual inductance between the solenoid and the coil ?

Hints
Open one hint at a time and try again before the next.
Hint 1
Find the field inside the solenoid first, then the flux through all N turns of the coil.
Hint 2
Use Faraday's law and differentiate .
Hint 3
Mutual inductance is the constant in .
Step-by-step solution
Each step shows the marks it earns, as an examiner would award them. Checked by an independent re-solve from the question paper.
- ½ mark
(a) Field inside a long solenoid near the centre:
- ½ mark
Flux linked with the coil of N turns (cross-section area , since wound tightly):
- ½ mark
Induced emf: ...(i)
- ½ mark
With , , so
- ½ mark
(b) Comparing (i) with :
- ½ mark
Answer: (a) ; (b)
Where the marks are
- (½ mark)
- Flux (½ mark)
- expression (½ mark)
- (½ mark)
- Comparing with (½ mark)
- (½ mark)
