Physics Question on Moving Charges and Magnetism
As a result of change in the magnetic flux linked to the closed loop shown in the figure, an emf V volt is induced in the loop. The work done (joules) in taking a charge Q coulomb once along the loop is:
A
QV
B
zero
C
2QV
D
2QV
Answer
QV
Explanation
Solution
Work required to take a charge equals Q Volt induced in the loop equals V
The amount of work required to move a test charge Q and a loop with an induced emf E is QE.
Due to the non-conservative nature of the generated electric field caused by the change in magnetic field.
Work completed as a result of change will become W=QV.
Consequently, QV is the labour (in joules) involved in taking a charge once along the loop.
Therefore, the correct option is (A): QV
