A wire in the form of a tightly wound solenoid is connected to a DC source, and carries a current. If the coil is stretched so that there are gaps between successive elements of the spiral coil, will the current increase or decrease? Explain.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
When the coil is stretched so that there are gaps between successive elements of the spiral coil i.e., the wires are pulled apart which lead to the flux leak through the gaps.
According to Lenz's law, the emf produced must oppose this decrease, which can be done by an increase in current. So, the current will increase.
