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.

  1. (a) Field inside a long solenoid near the centre:

    ½ mark
  2. Flux linked with the coil of N turns (cross-section area , since wound tightly):

    ½ mark
  3. Induced emf: ...(i)

    ½ mark
  4. With , , so

    ½ mark
  5. (b) Comparing (i) with :

    ½ mark
  6. 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)
