Determining the concept

Using Eq.30-2, and Eq.30-4, find the corresponding magnitude of the induced emf. Using this value of emf in Ohm’s law equation, find the corresponding current. Finally, by using the formula for the force, find the corresponding values of force required to pull out the loop. Comparing these values of forces, find the ranks of the situations according to the magnitude of the force required of us to pull out of the loop. Also, by using the formula for the rate of transfer of energy from us to the thermal energy, find the ranks of the situations.

Formulae are as follows:

i) From Eq.30-2, the magnetic field through the loop is given by,

ΦB=BA

ii) According to Faraday’s law, the magnitude of induced emf is given by,

ε=dΦBdt

iii) According to Ohm’s law, the current is given by,

i=εR

iv)The force required to pull out the loop is given by,

F=iLB

v) The rate of the energy from us to the thermal energy is given by,

Rate of transfered = F x v

(a) Determining the ranks of the situations according to the magnitude of the force required

Let us consider that the loop has a length inside the magnetic field. Now, from Eq.30-2, the magnetic field through the loop is given by,

ΦB=BA......................................................................30-2

Where, B is the magnetic field and A is the area of the loop, and is,

A = Lx

Therefore,

ΦB=BLx

According to Faraday’s law, the magnitude of induced emf is given by,

ε=dΦBdt................................................................................30-4

Putting the value on, it gives,

ε=dBLxdtε=BLdxdt

But, dxdt=v

ε=BLv.....................................................................(1)

The resistance of the wire in the loop is directly proportional to the total length of the loop. Because the material is the same in all the given loops. Let us consider k the proportionality constant.

According to Ohm’s law, the current is given by,

i=εR...........................................................(2)

And the resistive force opposing the motion of the loop would be,

F=iLB..........................................................................(3)

And therefore,

In loop 1

From Eq.1, the emf is,

ε=B2Lv

And from Fig.30-32, the resistance is given by,

R=6Lk

Where, k is proportionality constant.

Therefore, from Eq.2, it gives,

i=εRi=2BLk6Lk

Therefore, from Eq.3, the force F1required to pull out the loop is given by,

F1=2B2L2v3Lk

Similarly, in loop 2,

From Eq.1, the emf is,

ε=B(2L)v

And from Fig.30-32, the resistance is given by,

R=8Lk

Where, k is the proportionality constant.

Therefore, from Eq.2 it gives,

i=εRi=2BLv8Lk

Therefore, from Eq.3, the force F2required to pull out the loop is given by,

F2=B2L2v2Lk

And in loop 3

From Eq.1, the emf is,

ε=B(L)v

And from Fig.30-32, the resistance is given by,

R = 6Lk

Where, is the proportionality constant.

Therefore, from Eq.2, it gives,

i=εRi=BLv6Lk

Therefore, from Eq.3, the force F3required to pull out the loop is given by,

F3=B2L2v6Lk

Also, in loop 4,

From Eq.1, the emf is,

ε=B(L)v

And Lk

Where, k is proportionality constant.

Therefore, from Eq.2, it gives,

i=εRi=BLv4LkF4

F4=B2L2v4LkTherefore, from Eq.3, the force required to pull out the loop is given by,

Comparing these values of force requires pulling out the loop, it gives,

F1>F2>F4>F3

Therefore, rank the situations as 1) Loop 1, 2) Loop 2, 3) Loop 4, and 4) Loop 3.

(b) Determining the ranks of the situations according to the rate at which energy is transferred from us to the thermal energy of the loop

The rate of energy from us to the thermal energy is given by,

Rate 0f energy transferred = F x v

Since, velocity v is the same for all the given loops. So, the rate of energy transferred is directly dependent on the force F required to pull out of the loop. But, from the solution a) ,

F1>F2>F4>F3

Therefore, the ranks of the loops according to the rate of the energy transferred from us to the thermal energy of the loop as 1) Loop 1, 2) Loop 2, 3) Loop 4, and 4) Loop 3.

Using Faraday’s law and Ohm’s law, and also using the formula for the force required to pull out the loop and the rate of energy from us to the thermal energy, answer this question.
