JEE Main 2025 (Online) 23rd January Morning Shift Physics - Electromagnetic Induction Question 1 English

In the given circuit the sliding contact is pulled outwards such that electric current in the circuit changes at the rate of 8 A/s8 \mathrm{~A} / \mathrm{s} . At an instant when R is 12Ω12 \Omega , the value of the current in the circuit will be ________ A.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

To analyze the given circuit, we can use the equation for induced electromotive force (EMF) in an inductor. The formula is:

ε−L dIdt−I⋅R=0\varepsilon - \frac{L \, dI}{dt} - I \cdot R = 0

For this circuit, we have:

ε=12 V\varepsilon = 12 \, \text{V} (the applied EMF)

L=3 HL = 3 \, \text{H} (the inductance of the inductor)

dIdt=8 A/s\frac{dI}{dt} = 8 \, \text{A/s} (the rate of change of current)

Assuming the direction of current is such that the change in current is negative, substitute these values into the equation:

12−3×(−8)−I×12=012 - 3 \times (-8) - I \times 12 = 0

Solving for II (the current in the circuit):

12+24−12I=012 + 24 - 12I = 0

36=12I36 = 12I

I=3612=3 AI = \frac{36}{12} = 3 \, \text{A}

Thus, the current at the moment when the resistance RR is 12 Ω12 \, \Omega is 3 A3 \, \text{A} .
