SSC JE Magnetic-Circuit Solved Questions (2018-2009)

Ques 91. A circuit has inductance of 2 H. If the circuit current changes at the rate of 10A/sec, then self induced emf is (SSC-2014)

  1. 5V
  2. 0.2V
  3. 20V
  4. 10V

Answer.3. 20V

Explanation:-

The self induced EMF is given as

E = Ldi/dt

= 2 x 10

= 20 V.

 

Ques 92.  The B-H curve for _______ will be the straight line passing through the origin. (SSC-2014)

  1. Air
  2. Soft Iron
  3. Hardened Steel
  4. Silicon Steel

Answer.1. Air

Explanation:-

The amount of magnetic field we apply, air never saturates. So the B-H curve in the air should be a straight line

Air is non-magnetic material and for non-magnetic material the B =µoH and since µo = 4π x 10-7  is constant quantity, therefore, B ∝ H

 

Ques 93. Magnetic lines of force coming from the magnet. (SSC-2014)

  1. Intersect at Infinity
  2. Intersect within the magnet
  3. Cannot intersect at all
  4. Cancel at pole faces

Answer.3. Cannot intersect at all

Explanation:-

The two magnetic field lines do not intersect each other because If the lines intersected, then at the point of intersections there would be two directions of magnetic field force which means at the point of intersecting the compass needle is showing two different directions which are not possible

 

Ques 94.  The main advantages of temporary magnets are that we can (SSC-2014)

  1. Change the magnetic flux
  2. Use any magnetic material
  3. Decreases the hysteresis loss
  4. Magnetize without any source

Answer.1. Change the magnetic flux

Explanation:-

Magnets have two regions called magnetic poles with the magnetism both in and around a magnetic circuit that generates an invisible line of flux around it. These lines of flux are referred to as the “magnetic field” of the magnet.

Soft magnets are temporary – they only produce magnetic fields while an external magnetic field is present and lose nearly all their magnetism once the external field is removed. Hence the magnetic flux can be changed in temporary magnets.

 

Ques 95. The magnetic material used in permanent magnets is (SSC-2014)

  1. Iron
  2. Soft-steel
  3. Nickel
  4. Hardened Steel

Answer.4. Hardened Steel

Explanation:-

The permanent magnet is made of hardened steel because soft iron and steel remain magnets only under the power or influence of other magnet and lose their magnetism as soon as the magnet is removed.

Compared to iron, steel cannot be easily demagnetized or magnetized. It can only be magnetized under the influence of a strong magnetic field. But steel has the ability to retain its magnetism once it is magnetized. Therefore steel is best suited to be used in permanent magnets.

 

Ques 96. The emf induced in a coil is given by f = -N dΦ/dt, where ‘e’ is the induced emf, N is the number of turns and dΦ’ is the instantaneous flux linkage with the coil in time ‘dt’. The negative sign of the above expression is due to (SSC- 2013)

  1. Hans Christian Oersted
  2. Andre-Marie Ampere
  3. Michael Faraday
  4. Emil Lenz

Answer.4. Emil Lenz

Explanation:

  • According to Lenz’s law, the induced EMF sets up current is such a direction so as to oppose the very cause of producing it. Mathematically this expression is expressed in the negative sign
  • So, In Faraday’s law, the negative sign shows that the polarity of induced emf is such that it opposes any change in the magnetic flux of coil.

 

Ques 97. The mutual inductance between two coils having self-inductances 3 Henry and 12 Henry and coupling coefficient 0.85 is (SSC- 2013)

  1. 12.75 Henry
  2. 5.1 Henry
  3. 0.425 Henry
  4. 1.7 Henry

Answer.2. 5.1 Henry

Explanation:

Coefficient of coupling or magnetic coupling coefficient is (K) is given as

magnetic coupling coefficient is (K)

Where L1 and L2 are self-inductance of coil 1 and 2 respectively

Coefficient of Coupling

 

Ques 98. The unit of reluctance of magnetic circuit is (SSC- 2013)

  1. AT/m
  2. Weber/m
  3. AT/Weber
  4. Weber/AT

Answer.3. AT/Weber

Explanation:

Reluctance is defined as

ℜ = F/Φ

F = magnetomotive force (MMF) in ampere-turns

Φ =  the magnetic flux in webers.

Therefore the unit of Reluctance is ampere-turns per Weber ( AT/Weber) (a unit that is equivalent to turns per Henry)

 

Ques 99.  The total flux at the end of a long permanent bar magnet is 100×10 -6 Wb.The end of is magnet is withdrawn through a 1000 turn coil in 1/20 seconds. The induced emf in the coil is (SSC- 2013)

  1. 20.0 V
  2. 2.0 V
  3. 0.2 V
  4. 0.02 V

Answer.2. 2.0 V

Explanation:

solution 13

 

Ques 100. A solenoid of inductance 250 mH and resistance 10 Ω is connected to a battery. The time taken for the magnetic energy 1/4th of its maximum value is (SSC- 2013)

  1. loge(2)
  2. 10-3 loge(2)
  3. 25 loge(2)
  4. (1/40)loge(2)
