A conducting ring is placed around the core of an electromagnet as shown in the figure. When key K is pressed , the ring :

Correct answer: C. Jumps out of the core

  • A. Remains stationary
  • B. Is attracted towards the electromagnet
  • C. Jumps out of the core
  • D. None of these

Explanation

According to lenz's law the ring will jump out of the core . As when key is pressed current starts to flow in an electromagnet, so ring will oppose the current and jump out of the core according to Lenz's law.

About Electromagnetism

Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
