Ans: (B)
Sol: Magnetic field is uniform thus, the flux is changed just because of the change in radisu of the
coil. If the radius of the coil is constant then the induced emf is zero and if it varies then it has
some value. From the figure, radius from a to b doesn’t change, so emf induced is zero, from b to
c the radius increased linearly, so the emf is constant and from c to d it is again zero.

Reason (R): Magnetic monopole does not exist.

(B) (A) is true, (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
(C) (A) is true but (R) is false
(D) (A) is false but (R) is true
Ans: (A)
Sol: Magnetic field lines always form a closed loop. Outside the magnet they go from the north pole
to the south pole.
Inside the magnet they go from the south pole to the north pole.
In electromagnetic theory, magnetic poles are treated as magnetic charges. If a bar magnet is
cut in half, each piece will then have its own North and South Poles. A magnetic monopole
cannot be created from normal matter such as atoms and electrons, but would be new
elementary particles.
