1. Calculate the emf of a coil with turns 100 and flux rate 5 units.
a) 20
b) -20
c) 500
d) -500
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The emf is the product of the turns of the coil and the flux rate. Thus e = -N dφ/dt,
where the negative sign indicates that the emf induced is opposing the flux. Thus e = -100 x 5 = -
500 units.

– 2(1) = 7H.

5. A coil is said to be loosely coupled with which of the following conditions?


a) K>1
b) K<1
c) K>0.5
d) K<0.5
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: k is the coefficient of coupling. It lies between 0 and 1. For loosely coupled coil,
the coefficient of coupling will be very less. Thus the condition K<0.5 is true.

6. With unity coupling, the mutual inductance will be


a) L1 x L2
b) L1/L2
c) √(L1 x L2)
d) L2/L1
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The expression for mutual inductance is given by M = k √(L1 x L2), where k is the
coefficient of coupling. For unity coupling, k = 1, then M = √(L1 x L2).

7. The inductance is proportional to the ratio of flux to current. State True/False.


a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: The expression is given by L = Ndφ/di. It can be seen that L is proportional to the
ratio of flux to current. Thus the statement is true.

a) 21
b) 58
c) 40
d) 49/9
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: For tightly coupled coils, the coefficient of coupling is unity. Then the mutual
inductance will be M = √(L1 x L2)= √(49 x 9) = 21 units.

Answer: a
Explanation: The inductance of a coaxial cable with inner radius a and outer radius b, from a
distance d, is a standard formula derived from the definition of the inductance. This is given by L
= μd ln(b/a)/2π.

Electromagnetic Theory Questions and Answers – Magnetic Energy and Circuits

This set of Electromagnetic Theory Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on
“Magnetic Energy and Circuits”.

1. The magnetic energy of a magnetic material is given by


a) BH/2
b) B/2H
c) H/2B
d) B/H
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The magnetic energy of a material is given by half of the product of the magnetic flux
density and the magnetic field intensity. It is represented as BH/2. Since B = μH, we can also write
as μH2 or B2/2μ.

2. The induced emf in a material opposes the flux producing it. This is
a) Faraday law
b) Ampere law
c) Lenz law
d) Curie law
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The induced emf in a material under the influence of a magnetic field will oppose the
flux that produces it. This is indicated by a negative sign in the emf equation. This phenomenon is
called Lenz law.

3. The energy in a magnetic material is due to which process?


a) Emf
b) Magnetization
c) Magnetostriction
d) Polarization
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The energy in a magnetic material is due to the formation of magnetic dipoles which are
held together due to magnetic force. This gives energy to the material. Hence it is due to
magnetization process.

4. The flux lines of two energised coils overlapping on each other will give
a) Series aiding
b) Shunt aiding
c) Series opposing
d) Shunt opposing
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Flux lines are the magnetic lines of force of a magnetic material. Since the flux is
overlapping, the total flux of the two coils together will be high. Thus it is an aiding flux. Also this type
of overlapping is possible only when the two coils are back to back or in series connection.

5. The resistance in a magnetic material is called as


a) Capacitance
b) Inductance
c) Reluctance
d) Magnetic resistance
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The reluctance of a magnetic material is the ability of the material to oppose the
magnetic flux. It is the ratio of the magnetic motive force mmf to the flux.

6. Calculate the reluctance of the material with a mmf of 3.5 units and flux of 7units.
a) 32.5
b) 10.5
c) 0.5
d) 2
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The reluctance is defined as the ratio of the mmf and the flux. It is given by S = mmf/φ.
On substituting mmf = 3.5 and φ = 7, we get S = 3.5/7 = 0.5 units.

7. Which of the following relations is correct?


a) NI = Sφ
b) NS = Iφ
c) Nφ = SI
d) NI = S/φ
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The reluctance is also defined by the ratio of the current element to the flux. In other
words, mmf = NI. Thus S = NI/φ. We get the relation NI = Sφ.

8. Calculate the reluctance of a material with length 2π x 10-4 in air with area 0.5.
a) 1
b) 10
c) 100
d) 1000
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The reluctance is given by S = L/μ A, where L is the length, A is the area and μ is the
permeability. On substituting L = 2π x 10-4, A = 0.5 and μ = 4π x 10-7, we get S = 103/(2×0.5) = 1000
units.

9. Ampere turn is equivalent to which element?


a) Sφ
b) S/φ
c) φ/S
d) S
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Ampere turn refers to the current element, which is the product of the turns and the
current. It is given by NI. From the definition of reluctance, S = NI/φ. Thus NI = Sφ is the best
equivalent.

10. The line integral of the magnetic field intensity is given by


a) Turns
b) Flux density
c) MMF
d) Current element
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The line integral of H is given by ∫H. dl. From Ampere law it can be related to the
current density and hence the current element NI for a coil of N turns. Thus, ∫H. dl = NI.
