(N/A) The figure shows two coils $C_{1}$ and $C_{2}$ held stationary. Coil $C_{1}$ is connected to a galvanometer $G$,while the second coil $C_{2}$ is connected to a battery through a tapping key $K$.
It is observed that the galvanometer shows a momentary deflection when the tapping key $K$ is pressed. The pointer in the galvanometer returns to zero immediately. If the key is held pressed continuously,there is no deflection in the galvanometer.
When the key is released,a momentary deflection is observed again,but in the opposite direction. It is also observed that the deflection increases dramatically when an iron rod is inserted into the coils along their axis.
Thus,it can be concluded from this experiment that relative motion is not an absolute requirement to induce current.

$A$ circular coil of area $2 \text{ cm}^2$ is placed in a magnetic field of $3 \text{ T}$ perpendicularly. The coil has $10$ turns and $5 \text{ } \Omega$ resistance. Now,the coil is removed from the magnetic field in $0.2 \text{ s}$. The value of induced charge flowing through the coil is . . . . . . .

The magnetic flux through a coil is $4 \times 10^{-4} \ Wb$ at time $t=0$. It reduces to $30 \%$ of its original value in time $t$ seconds. If the e.m.f. induced in the coil is $0.56 \ mV$,then the value of $t$ is: (in $s$)

Assertion $(A)$: When a circular coil,placed in a region with its plane parallel to a magnetic field,expands radially outwards,no emf is induced in it.
Reason $(R)$: There is a constant magnetic field in the perpendicular (to the plane of the coil) direction.
