Electromotive force refers to electric potential produced by a changing magnetic field or an electrochemical cell. Electromotive force is measured in volts. The electromotive force is the amount of energy given to each coulomb of charge. The electromotive force is independent of the circuit's internal resistance.

Electromotive Force Detailed Video Explanation:

Ques 1: The average emf induced per turn in a transformer is given by

  1. 1.11f Φm
  2. 0.5f Φm
  3. 4f Φm
  4. 8f Φm

Click here for the answer

Answer: The correct answer is (c) 4f Φm

Explanation: EMF Equation Of The Transformer

Let,

N1 = Number of turns in primary winding

N2 = Number of turns in secondary winding

Φm = Maximum flux in the core (in Wb) = (Bm x A)

f = frequency of the AC supply (in Hz)

The flux rises to its maximum value Φm from 0. It reaches the maximum value in one-quarter of the cycle i.e in T/4 sec. Here, T is the time period of the sin wave of the supply = 1/f). Thus, average rate of change of flux = Φm /(T/4)    = Φm /(1/4f)

Therefore, average rate of change of flux = 4f Φm       ....... (Wb/s). 

Induced emf per turn = rate of change of flux per turn.

Therefore, average emf per turn = 4f Φm   ..........(Volts).

Ques 2: The flux used in the equation for the calculation of induced emf in a transformer is in its

  1. RMS value
  1. Average value
  1. Maximum value
  1. Twice that of the maximum value

Answer: The correct answer is (c) Maximum Value

Explanation:  EMF equation of a transformer

E = 4.44fϕmN

Here

  • ϕm = Maximum flux
  • N = number of turns
  • f = frequency
  • E = EMF

Ques 3: In which device is the principle of statically induced emf used?

  1. Transformer
  1. Motor
  1. Generator
  1. Battery

Answer: The correct answer is (b) Transformer

Explanation: In a transformer, the windings are stationary, the magnetic field induced moves around the conductor and produces the emf. Thus transformer uses the principle of statically induced emf among the available options.

Ques 4: Which is the property of a coil by which a counter emf is induced when the current through the coil changes?

  1. Self-inductance
  1. Mutual inductance
  1. Capacitance
  1. None of these

Answer: The correct answer is (a) Self-inductance

Explanation: The property of the coil by which a counter e.m.f. is induced in it when the current through the coil changes is known as self-inductance.

Ques 5: The principle of dynamically induced emf is used in a

  1. Choke
  1. Transformer
  1. Generator
  1. Thermo-couple

Answer: The correct answer is (c) Generator

Explanation: Dynamic Induced emf is generated when a current carrying conductor cuts the magnetic flux using relative motion. It has rotating parts in it, inducing emf with respect to moving parts is known as dynamic Induced emf. The generator works on the production of dynamically generated e.m.f in the conductors.

Ques 6: Statically induced emf’s magnitude depends on the

  1. Rate of change of flux
  1. Coil resistance
  1. Flux magnitude
  1. None of these

Click here for the answer

Answer: The correct answer is (a) Rate of change of flux

Explanation: Induced emf is directly proportional to the number of turns, magnetic field, area, and the time in which the magnetic flux changes. Thus, the magnitude of the induced emf depends on the change in magnetic flux and also on the time in which the magnetic flux changes.

Ques 7: Power of battery having emf E1=20V is

  1. 44.2 Watt
  1. 30.8 Watt
  1. 13.4 Watt
  1. 20 Watt

Click here for the answer

Answer: The correct answer is (a) 44.2 Watt

Explanation: Power of battery is

Pemf=iE

Power supplied by battery E1 = I1E1=44.2 Watt

Ques 8: Whenever there is a change in magnetic flux with respect to an electric conductor or a coil, an EMF is induced in the conductor is Faraday’s

  1. first law
  1. third law
  1. second law
  1. fourth law

Click here for the answer

Answer: The correct answer is (a) first law

Explanation: When a conductor cuts magnetic flux, an emf is induced in the conductor. Faraday's law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force.

Ques 9: Who introduced the right-hand rule for determining the direction of the induced EMF?

  1. Fleming
  1. Lenz
  1. Maxwell
  1. Faraday

Click here for the answer

Answer: The correct answer is (a) Fleming

Explanation: Invented in the 19th century by British physicist John Ambrose Fleming for applications in electromagnetism, the right-hand rule is most often used to determine the direction of a third parameter when the other two are known (magnetic field, current, magnetic force).

Ques 10: What should be the value of the primary to the secondary ratio for a transformer to be an isolation transformer?

  1. Equal to one
  1. Less than one
  1. More than one
  1. Equal to 0.5

Click here for the answer

Answer: The correct answer is (a) Equal to one

Explanation: Transformers that have a ratio of 1 to 1 between the primary and secondary windings are often used to protect secondary circuits and individuals from electrical shocks between energized conductors and earth ground. Suitably designed isolation transformers block interference caused by ground loops.

Ques 11: If the electromotive force of the battery is 5 V, the total energy supplied by the battery is

  1. 2.5 joules
  1. 5 joules
  1. 1 joule
  1. 10 joules

Click here for the answer

Answer: The correct answer is (b) 5 Joules

Explanation: The total energy supplied by the battery is 5 Joules. The electromotive force or EMF is the amount of energy supplied by a cell or a battery per coulomb of charge passing through it.

Ques 12: Electric potential and Electromotive force (EMF) are

  1. different terms
  2. have different units
  3. same terms
  4. undefined terms

Answer: The correct answer is (c) same terms

Explanation: The terms potential difference and voltage are the same. The potential difference between point A and B is also known as the voltage between point A and point B. 

Ques 13: Unit of electromotive force is

  1. volt
  2. second
  3. metre
  4. m s−1

Click here for the answer

Answer: The correct answer is (a) Volt

Explanation: It is commonly measured in units of volts, equivalent in the meter–kilogram–second system to one joule per coulomb of electric charge. In the electrostatic units of the centimeter–gram–second system, the unit of electromotive force is the statvolt or one erg per electrostatic unit of charge.

    A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.

        A p-type or n-type semiconductor can be converted into a p-n junction by doping it with suitable impurity. The motion of majority charge carriers causes diffusion current across the junction while the barrier electric field causes motion of minority carriers for drift current. In case of unbiased diode, the diffusion and drift currents are equal. This equilibrium is disturbed by the biasing batteries. Diodes, therefore, allow currents in one direction. This property of diode is used in making rectifiers.
