(N/A) To obtain a large deflection,one or more of the following steps can be taken:
$(i)$ Use a rod made of soft iron inside the coil $C_2$.
$(ii)$ Connect the coil to a more powerful battery.
$(iii)$ Move the arrangement more rapidly towards or away from the test coil $C_1$.
$(b)$ Replace the galvanometer with a small bulb,such as one found in a small torch light. The relative motion between the two coils will cause the bulb to glow,thereby demonstrating the presence of an induced current.
In experimental physics,one must learn to innovate. Michael Faraday,who is ranked as one of the best experimentalists ever,was legendary for his innovative skills.

Consider a metal ring kept on top of a fixed solenoid (say on a cardboard) as per the figure. The center of the ring coincides with the axis of the solenoid. If the current is suddenly switched on,the metal ring jumps up. Explain.

If a coil of $40$ turns and area $4.0 \, cm^2$ is suddenly removed from a magnetic field,it is observed that a charge of $2.0 \times 10^{-4} \, C$ flows through the coil. If the resistance of the coil is $80 \, \Omega$,the magnetic flux density in $Wb/m^2$ is:

$A$ circular coil of radius $10 \; cm$, $500$ turns, and resistance $2 \; \Omega$ is placed with its plane perpendicular to the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field. It is rotated about its vertical diameter through $180^{\circ}$ in $0.25 \; s$. The induced e.m.f. in the coil is (Take $B_H = 3.0 \times 10^{-5} \; T$).

In the above diagram,a strong bar magnet is moving towards solenoid-$2$ from solenoid-$1$. The direction of induced current in solenoid-$1$ and that in solenoid-$2$,respectively,are through the directions:

In electromagnetic induction,the induced charge in a coil is independent of
