Two identical coils are placed near each other. If the current flowing in the first coil is suddenly switched off, what will be the effect on the second coil?

Subject: General Awareness | Topic: Science | Difficulty: MEDIUM

Options

  1. (A) A current is momentarily induced in the second coil in the same direction that tries to keep the magnetic field constant
  2. (B) A current is induced in the second coil that helps reduce the original magnetic field
  3. (C) No current is induced in the second coil because the coils are not connected
  4. (D) A steady current keeps getting induced in the second coil as long as the first coil stays off

Verified Answer

Option (A): A current is momentarily induced in the second coil in the same direction that tries to keep the magnetic field constant
