Need some confirmation regarding induced currents

AI Thread Summary
When the switch is closed in the first coil, there is initially no induced voltage in the second coil because the current is still zero at that exact moment. The first coil resists changes in current, meaning that the magnetic flux in the second coil does not change instantaneously. As the current begins to increase in the first coil, the magnetic field also starts to rise, leading to an increasing magnetic flux in the second coil over time. Therefore, at the precise moment the switch is closed, the second coil experiences no induced voltage. This understanding clarifies the relationship between the timing of the switch closure and the induced currents in the coils.

TL;DR Summary: if there are 2 coils, one with a switch and a battery. If the switch is closed, exactly at that moment when the switch is closed, there is no induced voltage in the other coil, am I correct?

In this image, exactly at the moment when we close the switch, there should only be induced voltage in the first coil (left coil), am I right? That's because the coil resists any changes in current so at t = 0, there is no current in the left circuit, thus, there is no change in magnetic flux in the second coil. Am I correct in my reasoning?

I am asking this because there was a question about this, and there was no choice saying that voltage is only induced the first coil.

Please explain what you understand the state of the switch to be when you say "exactly at the moment when we close the switch." Is the switch open or closed at that "exact" moment? It's a binary choice: 0 or 1. Let's explore each choice. We assume that there is some resistance in the coils.

0 = switch open. Nothing has changed. There is no current anywhere and no magnetic field anywhere.

1 = switch closed. The current in the primary coil (on the left) is zero but is increasing. The magnetic field in the primary is proportional to the current, also zero and increasing. In the secondary coil (on the right) the flux from the primary is zero and increasing. (We assume that the coils are close enough to ignore the transit time of the EM signal from the left coil to the right.)

Does this resolve your question?
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'
The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'
I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
