Working:
During this positive half-cycle, we get an output current, and hence,
voltage across load resistance.
If the voltage at S1 becomes negative, only D2 conducts, and we get an
output in the negative half-cycle as well, which is however identical to the
output in the positive half-cycle. Thus, we find that during both halves,
current flows in the same direction.

16. Mutual inductance is the property of two coils by the virtue of which each
opposes any change in the strength of current flowing through the other by
developing an induced emf.
Consider two long co-axial solenoids, each of length l. Let n1 be the number of
turns per unit length of the inner solenoid S1 of radius r1, n2 be the number of
turns per unit length of the outer solenoid S2 of radius r2.
Imagine a time varying current I2 through S2 which sets up a time varying
magnetic flux 1 through S1.
∴1 = M12 (I2) ……… (Equation 1)
where
M12 = Coefficient of mutual inductance of solenoid S1 wrt solenoid S2
Magnetic field due to the current I2 in S2 is
B2 = on2I2
∴Magnetic flux through S1 is
∴ 1 = B2A1N1
where N1 = n1 and l = total number of turns in S1
1 = (on2I2) (r12) (n1l)
1 = o n1n2 r12 l I2 ……… (Equation 2)
From Equations 1 and 2, we get

Self-inductance is a property of a coil by virtue of which it opposes any
change in self-flux linked with the coil.
When a current is passed through a coil, it produces a magnetic field. A flux
is linked with the magnetic field produced by the coil. This flux is called self-
flux.
Self-flux is directly proportional to the current flowing through the coil. If I is
current flowing through a coil and ‘’ is the magnetic flux linked with its own
magnetic field, then
I
Or LI
where L is the proportionality constant and is known as self-inductance.
Consider a simple circuit having a coil, a battery and a key. The coil has a self-
inductance L. On pressing the key K, current flows through the circuit. However,
self-inductance gives rise to induced current which opposes the growth of
current in the circuit.
Thus, to increase the current from zero to its maximum value Io, some work has
to be done.
This work done is stored as the magnetic field of the inductor.
Similarly, when the key is opened, the induced emf tends to maintain current in
the circuit.

Let the Gaussian surface be a rectangular parallelepiped of cross-sectional area

the magnetic field vector B and the area vector A of the coil at any instant t is

The plane wave undergoes refraction and CE represents the refracted wave

(b) If an incident, unpolarised wave falls on an atom, it makes the electrons in the
atom oscillate along the random direction of the electric field. If light emitted by
these oscillating electrons is viewed along a direction perpendicular to the
incident direction, the light is seen to be polarised partially. This is because
along this line, radiation is emitted with the electric field parallel to the direction
of oscillation. Because it also has to be perpendicular to the line of sight, only
one direction of oscillation is favoured. For example, sunlight scattered due to
the sky observed perpendicular to the direction of the Sun is seen to be
polarised.
