(a) When a bar magnet is pushed towards (or away) from the coil connected to a galvanometer, the pointer in the galvanometer deflects. Identify the phenomenon causing this deflection and write the factors on which the amount and direction of the deflection depends. State the laws describing this phenomenon.
(b) Sketch the change in flux, emf and force when a conducting rod PQ of resistance R and length l moves freely to and fro between A and C with speed v on a rectangular conductor placed in uniform magnetic field as shown in figure.

In a series LCR circuit connected to an a.c. source of voltage v= vmsinωt, use phasor diagram to derive an expression for the current in the circuit. Hence obtain the expression for the power dissipated in the circuit. Show that power dissipated at resonance is maximum.
(a) When a bar magnet is pushed towards (or away) from the coil connected to a galvanometer, the pointer in the galvanometer deflects because of the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction.
Factors on which the amount and direction of the deflection depends are
(i) Speed of the magnet
(ii) Polarity of the magnet
Laws describing this phenomenon are
(i) Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction: The magnitude of the induced emf in a circuit is equal to the time rate of change of magnetic flux through the circuit.
![]()
(ii) Lenz’s law: The polarity of induced emf is such that it tends to produce a current which opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.
