Physics Question on Electromagnetic induction
A circular coil of radius 10cm, 500turns and resistance 2Ω is placed with its plane perpendicular to the horizontal component of the earth?s magnetic field. It is rotated about its vertical diameter through 180∘ in 0.25s. The current induced in the coil is (Horizontal component of the earth?s magnetic field at that place is 3.0×10−5 T)
A
1.9×10−3A
B
2.9×10−3A
C
3.9×10−3A
D
4.9×10−3A
Answer
1.9×10−3A
Explanation
Solution
Initial magnetic flux through the coil, ϕi=BHAcosθ=3.0×10−5×(π×10−2)×cos0∘ =3π×10−7Wb Final magnetic flux after the rotation ϕi=3.0×10−5×(π×10−2)×cos180∘ =3π×10−7Wb Induced emf, ε=−Ndtdϕ=−tN(ϕf−ϕi) =−0.25500(−3π×10−7−3π×10−7) =0.25500×(6π×10−7)=3.8×10−3V I=Rε=2Ω3.8×10−3V=1.9×10−3A
