Question

A circular coil of radius 2.00 cm has 50 turns. A uniform magnetic field B = 0.200 T exists in the space in a direction parallel to the axis of the loop. The coil is now rotated about a diameter through an angle of 60.0°. The operation takes 0.100 s. (a) Find the average emf induced in the coil. (b) If the coil is a closed one (with the two ends joined together) and has a resistance of 4.00 Ω, calculate the net charge crossing a cross-section of the wire of the coil.

Answer 1

Given:-

Number of turns of the coil, N = 50

Magnetic field through the circular coil,

\[\overrightarrow B=0.200 \text{ T}\]

Radius of the circular coil, r = 2.00 cm = 0.02 m

Angle through which the coil is rotated, θ = 60°

Time taken to rotate the coil, t = 0.100 s

(a) The emf induced in the coil is given by

\[e =  - \frac{N ∆ \phi}{∆ t} = \frac{N( \overrightarrow{B_f} . \overrightarrow{A}_f - \overrightarrow{B_i} . \overrightarrow{A}_i )}{T}\]

\[         = \frac{NB . A  (\cos 0^\circ - \cos  60^\circ)}{T}\]

\[         = \frac{50 \times 2 \times {10}^{- 1} \times \pi(0 . 02 )^2}{2 \times 0 . 1}\]

\[         = 5 \times 4 \times  {10}^{- 5}  \times \pi\]

\[         = 2\pi \times  {10}^{- 3}   V = 6 . 28 \times  {10}^{- 3}   V\]

(b) The current in the coil is given by

\[i = \frac{e}{R} = \frac{6 . 28 \times {10}^{- 3}}{4}\]

\[     = 1 . 57 \times  {10}^{- 3}   A\]

The net charge passing through the cross section of the wire is given by

\[Q = it = 1 . 57 \times  {10}^{- 3}  \times  {10}^{- 1} \]

\[       = 1 . 57 \times  {10}^{- 4}   C\]
