Question
Question: A small loop of resistance \(2\pi \Omega \) and having cross sectional area \({10^{ - 4}}{m^2}\) is ...
A small loop of resistance 2πΩ and having cross sectional area 10−4m2 is placed concentrically and coplanar with a bigger loop of radius 0.1m. A steady current of 1A is passed in a bigger loop. The smaller loop is rotated about its diameter with an angular velocity ω .The value of induced current in the smaller loop will be [in ampere] :-
A. π×10−9ωsinωt
B. 2π×10−11ωsinωt
C. 10−9ωsinωt
D. 10−10ωsinωt
Solution
To calculate the value of induced current in the smaller loop, we have to use the concept of induced current in which when the magnetic flux passing through a loop changes, an induced emf and hence induced current is produced in the circuit. Also, we use the concept of magnetic field through a circular loop.
Complete step by step answer:
Let us write the data given in the question,
R=2πΩ , s=10−4m2, r=0.1m , I=1A
The magnetic field through the circular loop is given by
B=2rμ0I
Where, I - current flowing through the loop and r -radius of the loop.
B=2rμ0I=2×0.14π×10−7×1
⇒B=2π×10−6−−−−−−−−−(1)
The electromotive force or induced emf through a loop having a small area ds is given by
ε=−dtdϕB=−dtd(Bscosθ)
⇒ε=−2π×10−6dtdsˉ−−−−−−−−−−(2)
We have sˉ=scosωt
dtdsˉ=−sωsinωt
Substituting in equation (2) , we get
ε=−2π×10−6×(−sωsinωt)
⇒ε=2πωsinωt×10−6×10−4
⇒ε=2πωsinωt×10−10−−−−−−−(3)
Now, The induced current through smaller loop is given by
i=Rε ⇒i=2π2πωsinωt×10−10
∴i=10−10ωsinωt
Hence, option D is correct.
Note: We should know the magnetic field due to a circular loop and the direction of the induced current is such that the induced emf in the loop due to changing flux always opposes the change in the magnetic flux. When the angle between θ and B changes by rotating the loop with angular frequency, the magnetic flux changes and emf is induced.
