Step by step solution

Step 1: Given

  1. Small loop areaa=2.00cm2=2.00×10-4m2
  2. Large circular loop radius R=1.00m

Determining the concept

The current is constantly changing with time. Determine the current at different time instances. For the circular loop, the magnetic field depends on the current and radius. The emf is related to the change in flux with time.

Faraday's law of electromagnetic inductionstates, Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an electromotive force is induced in it.

Formulae are as follow:

B=μ0l2Rε=-dϕdt


Where,ϕis magnetic flux, B is magnetic field, I is current, R is resistance, 𝜀 is emf, , 𝜇0is permeability.

(a) Determining the magnitude of the magnetic field at t = 0s

Current in the large loop changed at constant rate from 200A to -200A in time

t = 1.00s

l=l01-2tand l0=200A
At role="math" localid="1661852445388" t=0s,l=200A

At t=0.500s,l=0.00A

At t=1.00s,l=-200A

Hence,

At t = 0s,

B=μ0l2R=4π×10-7200A21.00mB=1.26×10-4T

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the small loop due to the current in the large loop at t = 0S is B=1.26×10-4T.

04

(b) Determining the magnitude of the magnetic field at t = 0.500s

At t = 0.500s,

B = 0.0T

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the small loop due to the current in the large loop at t = 0.500s is B = 0.0T

05

(c) Determining the magnitude of the magnetic field at

At t = 1.00s,

B=μ0l2RB=4π×10-7-200A2100mB=-1.26×10-4T

Hence, the magnitude of the magnetic field at the center of the small loop due to the current in the large loop att=1.00s isB=-1.26×10-4T

06

(d) Determining is magnetic field reversed

The current changed from 200A to -200A the magnetic field has reversed from 1.26×10-4 T to-1.26×10-4T in time t = 0s to t = 1.00s.

Hence, the magnetic field is reversed.

07

(e) Determining the emf induced in the small loop at t = 0.500s

The emf induced in a small loop is given by,

ε=dϕdt

Also, the flux can be written in terms of current and loop area,

ϕ=μ0lA2R

Where, A is the area of the small loop i.e.a = 2.00×10-4m2

role="math" localid="1661853987331" ε=-dϕdtε=-ddtμ0lA2Rε=-μ0lA2Rdldtε=4π×10-72.00×10-4m2-200A-200A21.00m1.00sε=5.04×10-8V

Hence, the emf induced in the small loop at t = 0.500s is ε=5.04×10-8V.

Therefore, find the magnetic field for the circular loop at different time instances using the current at the given time and radius. The emf is determined with the change in flux.

Figure 30-72a shows a rectangular conducting loop of resistance R=0.020Ω,heightH=1.5cm,andlengthD=2.5cm, height , and length being pulled at constant speed through two regions of uniform magnetic field. Figure 30-72b gives the current i induced in the loop as a function of the position x of the right side of the loop. The vertical axis scale is set by isis=3.0mA. For example, a current equal to is is induced clockwise as the loop enters region 1. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (into or out of the page) of the magnetic field in region 1? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the magnetic field in region 2?

Rank the six plots according to the emf induced in the loop, greatest clockwise emf first, greatest counter-clockwise emf last.
