(a) State Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.
(b) Explain, with the help of a suitable example, how we can show that Lenz’s law is a consequence of the principle of conservation of energy.
(c) Use the expression for Lorentz force acting on the charge carriers of a conductor to obtain the expression for the induced emf across the conductor of length l moving with velocity v through a magnetic field B acting perpendicular to its length.

(a) Using phasor diagram, derive the expression for the current flowing in an ideal inductor connected to an A.C. source of voltage, v = Vo sin ωt. Hence plot graphs showing variation of (i) applied voltage and (ii) the current as a function of ωt.
(b) Derive an expression for the average power dissipated in a series LCR circuit.
(a) Faraday’s first law: It states that whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, emf is induced in the conductor.
Faraday’s second law: It states that the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of flux.
(b) Consider a bar magnet and a loop. Now, when the bar magnet is moved towards the loop, it will observe a repulsive force due to the current induced in the loop. Hence, the mechanical work done in moving the magnet will be equal to the Joule’s heat dissipated by the current carrying loop. Therefore, law of conservation of energy is preserved.
