CBSE Class 12-science Answered

Why a small resistor is usually put in parallel to the current carrying coil of an electromagnet?

answered-by-expert Expert Answer

When the current in the coil of a large electromagnet is switched off the magnetic flux changes at a very high rate. Thus the induced emf is very high and may cause sparking and can damage the insulation. A small resistor connected in parallel provides a conducting path to the induced emf and thus reduces the risk of sparking.
