CBSE Class 12 Physics 2024-25: Unit 4 Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current (AC) Competency-Based Questions with Answers; Download Free PDF

As the CBSE Class 12 board exams get closer, it’s important for students to understand the new exam pattern. Starting in the 2024-25 school year, CBSE will include 50% more competency-based questions. These questions will be both multiple choice and written, focusing on how to use what students have learned in real-life situations.

For Class 12 Physics, Unit -4 on Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current (AC), CBSE has provided competency-based questions that help improve understanding and application skills. It highlights key competency-based questions and provides answers to help students succeed.  These questions are designed to help students strengthen their understanding and apply concepts effectively for their exams.

By practicing these competency-based questions, students will get familiar with the types of questions they are likely to face in the exam. The free PDF includes a variety of questions, such as multiple-choice (MCQs) and free-response questions, with answers provided to guide students in their preparation.

CBSE Class 12 Physics Chapter 4: Electromagnetic Induction and Alternating Current (AC) Important Competency-Based Questions

Q.1 A current‐carrying coil C1 is paired with another coil. An emf ε is induced in coil  C2 when the current through C1 drops to zero from a non‐zero value within 1 s. 

If the coil C1 is paired with C3, an emf 0.7ε is induced in it, for the same rate of  drop in the current through C1 as earlier. 

What is the ratio of mutual inductance M12 (for the pair of coils C1 and C2) to  that of mutual inductance M13 (for the pair of coils C1 and C3)? 

A. 0.7 
B. 
C. 1.42 
D. 

Answer. C. 1.42 

Q.2 Coil C carries a steady current. A second coil is placed in close proximity to coil  C in different configurations as shown. 

Which  of  the  following  options  represents  the  correct  order  of  the  mutual  inductance values for the pair of coils in given configurations? 

A. (i) > (iii) > (iv) > (ii) 
B. (iv) > (iii) > (i) > (ii) 
C. (ii) > (iv) > (iii) > (i) 
D. (iii) > (i) > (ii) > (iv) 

Answer. A.  (i) > (iii) > (iv) > (ii)

Q.3 A long solenoid S has length l1, area of cross‐section A and number of turns N1.  A coil C of shorter length l2, number of turns N2 but same area of cross‐section  is wound over solenoid S. If a current I flows through the coil C, then which of  the following represents the flux linked with the solenoid S? 

Answer.

Q.4 There is a pair of concentric and coplanar conducting loops of radii R1 and R2 such that R2 = 0.01 R1

To  which  of  the  following  is  the  mutual  inductance  M  for  this  pair  directly  proportional? 

A.  1/R1 2
B. R1 2
C. 1/R1
D. R1

Answer. D. R1

Q.5 A small conducting metal ring falls vertically down with its plane parallel to y‐z  plane. During the fall, the ring crosses a small region of the uniform magnetic  field directed along the x‐axis between the times t=0 and t = τ seconds. 

Which of the following graphs represent the variation of current induced in the  ring during the fall? 

Answer.

Q.6 A square loop of a single turn is placed with its plane perpendicular to a uniform  magnetic field. The magnetic flux through the square loop is 0.002 Wb

The square loop is now reshaped into a circular loop. What is the flux (in Wb)  through the circular loop?

A.  π/4 
B.  0.002 
C.  0.008/π 
D.  0.0005π  

Answer. C. 0.008/π 

Q.7 If  Pav  represents  average  power  dissipated  and  iav  is  the  average  current  through a resistor over one cycle of the input sinusoidal voltage, which of the
