A metal disc is winging freely between the poles of an electromagnet, as shown in the figure. When the electromagnet is switched on, the disc comes to rest after a few oscillations. Use Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction to explain why an e.m.f. is induced in the disc.

A small retangular coil ABCD contains 140 turns of wire. The sides AB and BC of the coil are of length 4.5 and 2.8 cm respectively, as shown in the figure The coil is held between the poles of a large magnet so that the coil can rotate about an axis thorugh its centre. The magnet produces a uniform magnetic field of flux density B between its poles. When the current in the coil is 170 mA, the maximum torque produced in the coil is 2.1 xx 10^-3 N m . The current in the coil in (a) is switched off and the coil s positioned as shown in the figure. The coil is then turned thorugh an angle of 90^@ in a time of 0.14 s. Calculate the average e.m.f. induced in the coil.

Figure shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic field are in three mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of the rod =15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod = 9.0 mOmega Assume the field to be uniform. What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular? :

Length of the rod =15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod = 9.0 mOmega Assume the field to be uniform. With K open and the rod moving uniformly, there is no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ even though they do experience magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain. :
