Solution

The correct option is D

i) Deflection is observed in the galvanometer and ii) No deflection is observed in the galvanometer


i) Current is induced in the secondary coil in a direction opposite to that of primary current.

ii) No Current is induced in the secondary coil.

Also if the current in the primary coil is switched off then:

Current is induced in the secondary coil in a direction same as that of primary current.

When an emf is produced in a secondary coil because of the change in current in a coupled coil (primary coil), the effect is called mutual induction which is a special type of electromagnetic induction.
