Consider a metal ring kept (supported by a cardboard) on top of a fixed solenoid carrying a current $I$ (see figure of Question 14). 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?

Consider a closed loop $C$ in a magnetic field (figure). The flux passing through the loop is defined by choosing a surface whose edge coincides with the loop and using the formula $\phi=\mathbf{B}_1 d \mathbf{A}_1, \mathbf{B}_2 d \mathbf{A}_2 \ldots .$. . Now, if we choose two different surfaces $S_1$ and $S_2$ having $C$ as their edge, would we get the same answer for flux. Justify your answer.

There are two coils $A$ and $B$ separated by some distance. If a current of $2 A$ flows through $A$, a magnetic flux of $10^{-2} \mathrm{~Wb}$ passes through $B$ (no current through $B$ ). If no current passes through $A$ and a current of 1 A passes through $B$, what is the flux through $A$ ?

A magnetic field $\mathbf{B}$ is confined to a region $r \leq a$ and points out of the paper (the $z$-axis), $r=0$ being the centre of the circular region. A charged ring (charge $=Q$ ) of radius $b, b>a$ and mass $m$ lies in the $x-y$ plane with its centre at the origin. The ring is free to rotate and is at rest.

A metallic ring of mass $m$ and radius $l$ (ring being horizontal) is falling under gravity in a region having a magnetic field. If $z$ is the vertical direction, the $z$-component of magnetic field is $B_z=B_0(1+\lambda z)$. If $R$ is the resistance of the ring and if the ring falls with a velocity $v$, find the energy lost in the resistance. If the ring has reached a constant velocity, use the conservation of energy to determine $v$ in terms of $m, B$, $\lambda$ and acceleration due to gravity $g$.
