The electric current of an electromagnet is switched off then the magnetic property of the electromagnet will- Correct Answer Remain for few moment

CONCEPT:

  • An electromagnet is a temporary magnet which should ideally have the property to behave as a magnet when current passes through it and lose magnetism as soon as current is stopped.
  • Soft iron is generally used for making electromagnets because it has high magnetic permeability, i.e. it can easily gain magnetic properties when current is passed around the core and quickly lose when current is stopped.
  • The soft iron inside the coil makes the magnetic field stronger because it becomes a magnet itself when the current is flowing

 

EXPLANATION:

  • As the electromagnet is a temporary magnetic which is only working till when we give the current to it.
  • Once the electric current is stopped the magnetic property of the electromagnet vanished.
  • But there is a very small time duration, in which the magnetic property of the electromagnet exists after stopping the electric current in it. This is due to electromagnetic induction in the coil of the electromagnet. Hence option 1 is correct.

You are required to rearrange the jumbled sentences of the paragraph and mark your response accordingly by selecting the correct option. A: The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. B: A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the center of the coil. C: An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current.  D: Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. 
A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from
When an electric current coil of a wattmeter is connected to the electric current path R and the voltage coil is connected between the electric current R path and the neutral side of the balanced three phase supply, it shows 10 kW. The line voltage along the phase sequence RYB is 400 V. The current drawn by the current path is 54 A. What is the new reading of the wattmeter if the voltage coil is connected between the lines B and the Y paths, even if the electric current coil is continuously present in the line R?

Which of statement(s) given above is/are correct?
In the question a statement is given, followed by two arguments, I and II. You have to consider the statement to be true even if it seems to be atvariance from commonly known facts. You have to decide which of the given arguments, if any, is a strong argument. Statement : Should street lights be switched off after midnight? Argument I : No, statistics show that crime and accidents increase if street lights are switched off.
Argument II : Yes, few vehicles ply after midnight, expensive electricity will be wasted.
