Question

Explain with a neat diagram the coil-coil experiment demonstrating electromagnetic induction.

Open in App
Solution

Consider the coils placed coaxially as shown in diagram.

P Primary coil

S Secondary coil

A current can be established in P by means of a battery B and a key ‘K’. S is connected to a sensitive galvanometer G. Current in P produces a magnetic field in the region of S.

Observations:––––––––––––––

(a) When the key is closed, a deflection is observed in the galvanometer.

(b) When the key is opened, a deflection is observed in galvanometer (opposite deflection).

(c) If the key is closed and a relative motion is caused between the P and S, then there is a deflection, whose direction depends upon the coils approaching or receding.

(d) Jerky motion of coils produces large deflection.

(e) If the current is steady and P and S are stationary, no deflection is observed in the galvanometer.

(f) Induction of an iron rod into S increases the above effects appreciably.
