Solution

The correct option is A. There are momentary galvanometer deflections that die out shortly; the deflections are in opposite directions.


When the key is inserted in the circuit of coil 1, there is a momentary increase of current. This change in current produces a change in the magnetic field.

Since changing magnetic field induces a current, a momentary deflection is seen in the circuit of coil 2.
Similarly, on removing the key, the current becomes zero quickly, and there is a change in the current in coil 1. And, this current change induces a current in coil 2. But this time the deflection happens in the opposite direction.
