1. We can induce the current in a coil by ?

by changing the orientation of the coil in the magnetic field

by changing the magnetic field around it

moving the coil in a magnetic field

All of above

Answer: moving the coil in a magnetic field

Explanation:

The method can be used to induce the potential difference across the ends of a coil and hence induce current.

Explanation:


6. Read the following sentences carefully, and choose the correct one ?

If a wire (in the form of a coil) is kept fixed, but a magnet is moved inside it, even then a current is produced in the coil of wire.

A generator uses the movement or rotation of a rectangular coil of wire between the poles of a horseshoe magnet to produce an electric current.

The direction of induced current can also be reversed by reversing the direction of magnetic field.

All the above.

Answer: All the above.

Explanation:

all the statements are correct. Hence, your answer will be option [D].
