A conducting circular loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 10 T with its plane normal to the field. Now, the radius of the loop starts shrinking at the rate 5 mm/s. When the radius is 5 cm then the induced emf is |
7.85 mV 15.7 mV 78.5 mV 1.57 mV |
15.7 mV |
The correct answer is Option (2) → 15.7 mV Magnetic flux through the loop: $\Phi = B \cdot A = B \cdot \pi r^2$ Induced emf: $\mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi}{dt} = -B \cdot \frac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2)$ $\mathcal{E} = -B \cdot (2\pi r \cdot \frac{dr}{dt})$ Taking magnitude: $\mathcal{E} = 2\pi B r \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$ Substitute values: $B = 10 \,T,\; r = 5 \,cm = 0.05 \,m,\; \frac{dr}{dt} = 5 \,mm/s = 0.005 \,m/s$ $\mathcal{E} = 2 \pi (10)(0.05)(0.005)$ $\mathcal{E} = 2 \pi (0.0025)$ $\mathcal{E} = 0.0157 \, V \approx 1.57 \times 10^{-2} \, V$ Answer: $1.57 \times 10^{-2} \, V$ |
