Electromagnetic induction basis for: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Electromagnetic induction basis for:
A. Generator
B. Motor
C. Both (b) and (c)
D. Transformer
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Induction (changing flux ⇒ EMF): generators (motion ⇒ electricity), transformers (AC voltage conversion). Motors use reverse principle (force on current in field). Memory aid: 'Induction: generators, transformers; motors: Lorentz force'. Device principle frequently tested in competitive electromagnetism sections.

A. 14.14 m/s
B. 10 m/s
C. 20 m/s
D. 40 m/s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:

Question #2
Which of the following devices relies on the heating effect of electric current?
A. Electric fan
B. Transformer
C. Electric generator
D. Electric iron

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
An electric iron contains a heating element (usually nichrome). When electric current passes through this high-resistance element, it produces heat according to Joule's law (H = I²Rt). An electric fan uses the magnetic effect (motor), a generator uses electromagnetic induction, and a transformer uses mutual induction.
