  • Consider a metal ring kept on top of a fixed solenoid such that the centre of the ring coincides with the axis of the solenoid. If the current is suddenly switched on, the metal ring jumps up. Explain.

Consider a metal ring kept on top of a fixed solenoid such that the centre of the ring coincides with the axis of the solenoid. If the current is suddenly switched on, the metal ring jumps up. Explain.

Answers (1)

Here, initially, there was no flux linked to the ring. When a sudden current passes through the solenoid, a magnetic field is induced. This magnetic field is now linked to the ring, so a current would get induced in the ring which would oppose the magnetic field. Hence ring will jump, both the magnetic fields (solenoid and ring induced) will interact.
