JEE Advance - Physics (2007 - Paper 2 Offline - No. 12)
STATEMENT 1
A vertical iron rod has a coil of wire wound over it at the bottom end. An alternating current flows in the coil. The rod goes through a conducting ring as shown in the figure. The ring can float at a certain height above the coil.
Because
STATEMENT 2
In the above situation, a current is induced in the ring which interacts with the horizontal component of the magnetic field to produce an average force in the upward direction.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
Statement-1 is True, Statement-2 is False.
Statement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Explanation
As shown in the figure, the horizontal component of the magnetic field interacts with the current in the conducting ring, which produces an average force in the upwards direction (by using Fleming's left hand rule).
