A constant current is maintained in a resistive solenoid having iron rod as its core. Which of the following quantities will change when iron rod is removed from solenoid?

Answer»

Rate of HEAT dissipation
Magnetic FLUX linked with the SOLENOID
Magnetic field inside solenoid
Self-inductance of the solenoid

Solution :Iron core is magnetized when current PASSES through the solenoid. Hence magnetic field inside the solenoid is greatly affected by the presence of iron core. Due to EFFECT on magnetic field, corresponding magnetic flux and self-inductance is also affected. In fact, magnetic flux, magnetic field and self-inductance decrease when iron rod is removed. Hence, options (b), (c) and (d) are correct.
