A crack in the magnetic path of an inductor will result in
A. Unchanged inductance
B. Increased inductance
C. Zero inductance
D. Reduced inductance
Answer: Option D
Solution (By Examveda Team)
A crack in the magnetic path of an inductor creates a gap in the core, disrupting the continuous magnetic flux.This disruption increases the reluctance of the magnetic circuit, which reduces the overall inductance of the inductor.
As a result, the inductance will be reduced rather than remaining unchanged or increasing.

The action of JFET in its equivalent circuit can best be represented as a
A. Current controlled Current source
B. Current controlled voltage source
C. Voltage controlled voltage source
D. Voltage controlled current source
In a p+n junction diode under reverse bias, the magnitude of electric field is maximum at
A. The edge of the depletion region on the p-side
B. The edge of the depletion region on the n-side
C. The p+n junction
D. The center of the depletion region on the n-side
To prevent a DC return between source and load, it is necessary to use
A. Resistor between source and load
B. Inductor between source and load
C. Capacitor between source and load
D. Either A or B

A crack in the magnetic path of an inductor leads to collapse in the strength of magnetic field. If it looses the strength of its magnetic field, then obviously there could be a chance of reduction in its inductance.
