Consider a metal ring kept (supported by a cardboard) on top of a fixed solenoid carrying a current $I$ as per the figure. The centre of the ring coincides with the axis of the solenoid. If the current in the solenoid is switched off,what will happen to the ring?

(N/A) When the current in the solenoid is switched off,the magnetic flux linked with the metal ring decreases.
According to Lenz's Law,the induced current in the ring will flow in such a direction as to oppose this decrease in magnetic flux.
This means the ring will develop a magnetic polarity that attracts it towards the solenoid.
Therefore,the ring will remain on the cardboard and will not move away.

In a circuit with a coil of resistance $2\, \Omega$,the magnetic flux changes from $2.0\, Wb$ to $10.0\, Wb$ in $0.2\, s$. The charge that flows in the coil during this time is..........$C$.

Assertion: An $emf$ $\vec{E}$ is induced in a closed loop where magnetic flux is varied. The induced $\vec{E}$ is not a conservative field.
Reason: The line integral $\oint \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{l}$ around the closed loop is nonzero.
