A small resistor (say a lamp) is usually put in parallel to the current carrying coil of an electromagnet. What purpose does it serve? |
| Answer» Solution :When the current in the electromagnet is switched of the flux CHANGES from a large value to ZERO. This produces a high induced emf when the induces current passes across the switch, spark are produced. To avoid this, a SMALL RESISTANCE is CONNECTED in parallel and this provides a conducting path for the induced voltage thereby spark is avoided. | |
