when acircular loop is moved outof uniform magnetic field sketch the graph for variation of fluxinduced emf and power decipated as function of time
The magnetic flux, induced EMF, and power dissipated will vary as the circular loop moves out of the uniform magnetic field. Here's a summary of how they change with time:
-
Magnetic Flux (ΦB):
- Before exiting: Constant and maximum.
- During exiting: Decreases non-linearly from its maximum value to zero.
- After exiting: Zero.
-
Induced EMF (E):
- Before exiting: Zero.
- During exiting: Increases from zero to a maximum, then decreases back to zero.
- After exiting: Zero.
-
Power Dissipated (P):
- Before exiting: Zero.
- During exiting: Increases from zero to a maximum, then decreases back to zero.
- After exiting: Zero.
The graphs for these variations are pulse-like shapes for EMF and Power, and a decreasing curve for Magnetic Flux.
Solution
When a circular loop moves out of a uniform magnetic field, the magnetic flux through the loop changes, inducing an electromotive force (EMF) and causing power to be dissipated if the loop has resistance.
Let's assume the following:
- The magnetic field B is uniform and perpendicular to the plane of the loop.
- The loop moves at a constant velocity v perpendicular to the field boundary.
- The loop starts exiting the field at t=0 and is completely out at time T. Due to the circular shape, the area of the loop inside the field does not decrease linearly with time.
1. Magnetic Flux (ΦB)
- Before exiting (t<0): The loop is fully inside the uniform magnetic field. The magnetic flux is constant and maximum: ΦB=B⋅(Area of loop)=BπR2.
- During exiting (0≤t≤T): As the loop moves out, the area enclosed by the loop that is still within the magnetic field decreases. For a circular loop, this decrease is not linear. The rate of change of the area initially increases, then decreases. Therefore, the magnetic flux decreases smoothly from its maximum value to zero.
- After exiting (t>T): The loop is completely out of the magnetic field. The magnetic flux is zero: ΦB=0.
The graph of ΦB vs. time will show a constant maximum value, followed by a smooth, non-linear decrease to zero, and then remain at zero. The curve in the decreasing region will be concave up initially and then concave down.
2. Induced EMF (E)
- According to Faraday's Law of Induction, E=−dtdΦB.
- Before exiting (t<0): ΦB is constant, so dtdΦB=0, and thus E=0.
- During exiting (0≤t≤T): ΦB is decreasing, so dtdΦB is negative. This means E will be positive (or negative, depending on the chosen direction, but its magnitude will be non-zero).
- When the loop just begins to exit, the rate of change of the area inside the field is small, so ∣E∣ is small.
- As more of the loop exits, the chord length (the part of the loop boundary at the field edge) increases, reaching a maximum when the center of the loop is at the field boundary. At this point, the rate of change of area is maximum, leading to a maximum induced EMF.
- As the loop continues to exit, the chord length decreases again, and the rate of change of area decreases, causing ∣E∣ to decrease back to zero.
- Therefore, the magnitude of the induced EMF starts from zero, increases to a maximum, and then decreases back to zero.
- After exiting (t>T): ΦB is constant (zero), so dtdΦB=0, and thus E=0.
The graph of E vs. time will show zero EMF, followed by a pulse-like shape (symmetric if the field is uniform and the exit is symmetric), starting from zero, peaking, and returning to zero, then remaining at zero.
3. Power Dissipated (P)
- The power dissipated in the loop is given by P=RE2, where R is the resistance of the loop.
- Before exiting (t<0): E=0, so P=0.
- During exiting (0≤t≤T): Since P is proportional to E2, and E follows a pulse-like shape, P will also follow a similar shape, but always positive and peaking at the same time as E (or rather, its magnitude). The peaks will be sharper due to squaring.
- After exiting (t>T): E=0, so P=0.
The graph of P vs. time will show zero power dissipated, followed by a positive pulse-like shape (symmetric and peaking at the same time as EMF), and then returning to zero.
