Physics Question on Electrostatics
A 200-turn circular coil of area 103cm2 rotates at 60 revolutions per minute in a uniform magnetic field of 0.02 T perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the coil. The maximum voltage induced in the coil is:
A
52πV
B
4πV
C
54πV
D
512πV
Answer
54πV
Explanation
Solution
The maximum induced EMF in a rotating coil is given by the formula:
εmax = NABω
where:- N is the number of turns of the coil, A is the area of the coil in square meters, B is the magnetic field in Tesla, ω is the angular velocity in radians per second.
Given values: N=200,A=103cm2=10−1m2,B=0.02T,ω=2π× 6060=2πrad/s.
Substituting the values into the formula:
εmax=200×10−1×0.02×2π=54πV
Thus, the maximum voltage induced in the coil is 54πV, which corresponds to Option (3).
