A rectangular loop ( area=0.15m2) turns in a uniform magnetic field, B=0.20 T.When the angle between the field and the normal to the plane of the loop is ττ2radand increasing at0.60 rad/s, what emf is induced in the loop?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The emf induced in the loop is 0.018 V.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: Given

i) Area of the loop A=0.15m2

ii) Magnetic field B=0.20T

iii) Angleθ=π2rad=90°

iv) Angular speedω=0.60rad/s

02

Determining the concept

Use Faraday’s law to find the emf induced in the coil. Substituting the expression of the flux in the emf and substituting all the given values, find the required value of the induced emf.

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

Formulae are as follows:

ε=-dϕdt

ϕ=B.A

Where,ϕis magnetic flux, B is magnetic field, A is area, 𝜀 is emf.

03

Determining the emf induced in the loop

Since, the loop is rotating continuously in the uniform magnetic field, the magnetic flux through the loop changes.

And this flux is given by,

f=B.A=BAcosθ

The rate of change of the flux is nothing but the emf induced and by Faraday’s law, it is given by,

ε=-dϕdt

Where the negative sign shows that the magnetic field due to the currentopposes the change in the magnetic flux that induces the current.

Substituting the flux in Faraday’s law,

ε=-ddt(BAcosθ)

ε=BAsinθdθdt

Since,B=0.20T,A=0.15m2,ω=dθdt=0.60rads

Substituting all the values,

ε=0.20T×0.15m2×sin900×0.60rads

ε=0.018V

Hence, the emf induced in the loop is 0.018 V.

Therefore, using Faraday’s law, the emf induced in the coil can be determined.
