Determining the concept

Find the emf induced due to the change in the magnetic flux. Now, applying Ohm’s law, find the current induced in the coil during t.

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

Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant.

Formulae are as follow:

ΦB=BAB=μ0inε=-NdΦBdti=εR

Where,ΦBis magnetic flux, B is magnetic field, A is area, i is current, R is resistance,𝜀 is emf, Nis number of turns,𝜇0is permeability.

Determining the current induced in the coil during ∆t

From Eq.30-2, the magnetic flux is ,

ΦB=BA...................(30-2)

Also, from Eq.29-23, the magnitude of the magnetic field is given by,

B=μ0in.......................(29-23)

According to the Faraday’s law, emf is induced due to the change in the magnetic flux is,

ε=-NdΦBdt.......................(30-5)

Substituting Eq.30-2 in Eq.30-5,

ε=-NAd(B)dt

Now, substituting Eq.29-23 in Eq.30-5,
ε=-NAd(μ0in)dtε=-Nnμ0Adidt

But, putting A=ττr2,

ε=-Nnμ0(ττr2)didt

Substituting given values,

ε=-(120)22000turnsm4ττ×10-7T.mAττ(0.016m)21.5A0.025sε=-0.16V

According to Ohm’s law,

i=εRi=0.16V5.3Ωi=0.030A

Hence, the current induced in the coil during tis i=0.030A.

Therefore, by using the concept of Faraday’s law and Ohm’s law, the current induced in the coil can be determined.
