A conductor moving in the magnetic field $B$ and the induced current is $I$. If the magnetic field is doubled the induced current will
  1. remain the same
  2. be half
  3. be doubled
  4. be four times

Solution

Given, initial magnetic field $=B$ Initial induced current $=I$ Final magnetic field, $B^{\prime}=2 B$ Final current $=I^{\prime}$ Since, emf, $\varepsilon=B l v \sin \theta=I R$ where, $B$ is magnetic field, $l$ is length of conductor, $v$ is velocity, $I$ is current, and $R$ is resistance. $\therefore \quad I \propto B$ Hence, if $B$ doubled current $I$ also doubled.
