Physics Question on Moving charges and magnetism
A conducting square frame of side 'a' and a long straight wire carrying current I are located in the same plane as shown in the figure. The frame moves to the right with a constant velocity 'V'. The emf induced in the frame will be proportional to
A
(2x+a)21
B
(2x−a)(2x+a)1
C
(2x−a)1
D
(2x−a)21
Answer
(2x−a)(2x+a)1
Explanation
Solution
Here, PQ = RS = PR =QS = a
Emf induced in the frame
ε=B1(PQ)V−B2(RS)V
=2π(x−a/2)μ0IaV−2π(x+a/2)μ0IaV
=2πμ0I[(2x−a)2−(2x+a)2]aV
=2πμ0I×2[(2x−a)(2x+a)2a]aV
∴ε∝(2x−a)(2x+a)1
