Question

Mutual induction can be used as the basis for a metal detector. A typical setup uses two large coils that are parallel to each other and have a common axis. Because of mutual induction, the ac generator connected to the primary coil causes an emf of 0.541 V to be induced in the secondary coil. When someone without metal objects walks through the coils, the mutual inductance and, thus, the induced emf do not change much. But when a person carrying a handgun walks through, the mutual inductance increases. The change in emf can be used to trigger an alarm. If the mutual inductance increases by a factor of 6, find the new value of the induced emf.

Answer 1

______________________________

According to the question we need to find the new value of the induced emf.

EMF = 0.541 V

Mutual inductance increases by a factor of 6

We know the formula for

(Emf) = - M*di1/dt

As we cans see from the question itself mutual inductance increases by a factor of 6

So , the EMF increases by :

Induced (EMF) = 0.541 V * 6 = 3.246 V
