4 (a)(i) When the switch is closed, the current from the battery produces a
magnetic field directed toward the right, along the axis of both coils. As
the battery current is growing in magnitude, the induced current in the
rightmost coil opposes the increasing rightward directed field by
generating a field toward to the left along the axis. Thus, the induced
J1
current must be left to right through the resistor.
(ii) Once the battery current, and the field it produces, have stabilized, the
flux through the rightmost coil is constant (no change in flux) and there
is no induced current. J1
(iii) As the switch is opened, the battery current and the field it produces rapidly
decrease in magnitude. To oppose this decrease in the rightward directed field,
the induced current must produce a field toward the right along the axis, so the
induced current is right to left through the resistor. J1
(b)(i) Its mutual inductance.
Mutual inductance of the two coils.
