Short Answer

Expert verified

At time t, the solution for the induced emf in the loop isε=-2πro2βBe-2βt

Step by step solution

01

Step: 1 Electromagnetic field:

The electromagnetic effect on moving electric charges, electromagnetic fields, and magnetic materials is represented by a magnetic field, which is a vector field. In a magnetic flux, a moving charge generates a force that is perpendicular to both its own velocity and the magnetosphere.

From Faraday's law,

ε=dΦmε.

02

Step: 2 Amount of Magnetic field

Where Φmis the flux through the loop which is the amount of magnetic field that flows through a loop of area localid="1648957060866" Aand it is given by

Φm=BA

Let us use this expression of localid="1648957068013" Φminto equation to get

ε=d(BA)dt=BdAdt.

03

Step: 3 Induced emf:

The radius of the loop rchanges with time and we are given it in terms of time in the form

r=roe-βt

The area of the circular loop is calculated by

A=πr2=πroe-βt2=πro2e-2βt

Now, we use the expression of Ainto equation and differentiate this equation to get the emf by

ε=BdAdt=Bddtπro2e-2βtε==Bπro2(-2β)e-2βtε=-2πro2βBe-2βt.
