Solution & Explanation
Related Formula
Motional electromotive force formula:
ε = B v leff$$\varepsilon = B v l_{\text{eff}}$$
where leff$l_{\text{eff}}$ is the perpendicular component of the straight-line displacement vector connecting the endpoints A$A$ and E$E$ (lAE$l_{AE}$) relative to velocity v$\vec{v}$.
Core Logic
In a uniform magnetic field, the motional EMF induced in any arbitrary conductor wire depends solely on the straight-line displacement vector connecting its endpoints, rather than the detailed path:
ε = ( v × B) · leff$$\vec{\varepsilon} = (\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \cdot \vec{l}_{\text{eff}}$$
The figure outlines a segmented conductive wire trail pulled laterally through an orthogonal inward magnetic field matrix region.
Step 1: Compute Effective Length
From the geometry of the symmetric wire segments oriented at 45°$45^{\circ}$ to the horizontal:
Substitute the given parameters into the motional EMF expression:
ε = B v leff$$\varepsilon = B v l_{\text{eff}}$$ε = ( 1√(2)) × (0.1 m/s) × (0.1√(2) m)$$\varepsilon = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) \times (0.1\text{ m/s}) \times (0.1\sqrt{2}\text{ m})$$ε = 1√(2) × 0.1 × 0.1√(2) = 0.01 V = 10 mV$$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \times 0.1 \times 0.1\sqrt{2} = 0.01\text{ V} = 10\text{ mV}$$
Pattern Recognition
In a uniform magnetic field, motional EMF is path-independent. Replace any zig-zag or curved conductor with an equivalent straight line joining the two endpoints perpendicular to the velocity vector.

The magnetic flux φ$\phi$ (in weber) linked with a closed circuit of resistance 8 Ω$8 \, \Omega$ varies with time (in seconds) as φ = 5t² - 36t + 1$\phi = 5t^2 - 36t + 1$. The induced current in the circuit at t = 2 s$t = 2 \text{ s}$ is ________ A.
Calculate the time derivative of the magnetic flux to find the induced EMF. Evaluate it at the requested time, and then apply Ohm's law to find the current magnitude.
Flux polynomials (At² - Bt + C$At^2 - Bt + C$) instantly trigger a simple derivative test. Remember to drop the negative sign for final current magnitude unless direction is specifically asked.

A small square loop of wire of side $\ell$ is placed inside a large square loop of wire of side L$L$ (L = ²$L = \ell^2$). The loops are coplanar and their centers coincide. The value of the mutual inductance of the system is √(x) × 10⁻⁷ H$\sqrt{x} \times 10^{-7}\mathrm{\ H}$, where x =$x =$

Assume a current i$i$ flows through the larger square loop of side L$L$. The magnetic field generated by it at its center acts as a uniform field across the very small inner loop of side $\ell$.
The magnetic field at the center of the large square loop (distance d = L/2$d = L/2$ from each side, angles 45^°$45^\circ$):
Comparing with √(x) × 10⁻⁷$\sqrt{x} \times 10^{-7}$, we get x = 128$x = 128$.

Final Magnetic Field, Bf = 3000 T$B_f = 3000\mathrm{\,T}$
Time interval, Δ t = 2 s$\Delta t = 2\mathrm{\,s}$
Diameter, d = 0.02 m ⇒ r = 0.01 m$d = 0.02\mathrm{\,m} \Rightarrow r = 0.01\mathrm{\,m}$
