A uniform magnetic field of 0.4 mathrmT acts perpendicular to a circular copper disc 20 mathrm~cm in radius. The disc is having a uniform angular velocity of 10 pi rad mathrms^-1 about an axis through its centre and perpendicular to the disc. What is the potential difference developed between the axis of the disc and the rim? ( pi = 3.14 )

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula The induced electromotive force (EMF) developed between the center and the rim of a rotating disc in a perpendicular magnetic field is given by: E = frac12 B omega R^2 ### Core Logic Given parameters from the problem statement [cite: 655, 657, 658]: * Magnetic field, B = 0.4 text T * Radius of the disc, R = 20 text cm = 0.2 text m * Angular velocity, \omega = 10\pi \text{ rad s}^{-1} Substituting the values into the governing formula: E = frac12 times 0.4 times (10 times 3.14) times (0.2)^2 E = 0.2 times 31.4 times 0.04 E = 0.2512 text V ### Step 1: Evaluation The potential difference developed between the axis of the disc and the rim is precisely 0.2512 text V. ### Pattern Recognition For any rotating conductor of length R or a continuous disc rotating about its center in a perpendicular magnetic field, the induced EMF is mathematically equivalent to a single radial rod sweeping the area, leading directly to the formula frac12Bomega R^2. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction

Q12 2025 AC Generator
A coil of area A and N turns is rotating with angular velocity omega in a uniform magnetic field vecB about an axis perpendicular to vecB . Magnetic flux varphi and induced emf varepsilon across it, at an instant when vecB is parallel to the plane of coil, are: [cite: 1, 2]
  • A. varphi = mathrmAB,varepsilon = 0
  • B. varphi = 0, varepsilon = mathrmNABomega
  • C. varphi = 0, varepsilon = 0
  • D. varphi = mathrmAB,varepsilon = mathrmNABomega

Solution

### Related Formula phi = BAN cos(omega t) varepsilon = BANomega sin(omega t) ### Core Logic

When the magnetic field vector vecB lines up parallel to the plane of the coil, the norm area vector stands perpendicular to vecB, yielding omega t = fracpi2. Thus : phi = BAN cosleft(fracpi2right) = 0 [cite: 692, 693] varepsilon = BANomega sinleft(fracpi2right) = NABomega ### Pattern Recognition Flux is zero when the field lines are parallel to the coil surface, but the rate of change of flux (and thus emf) peaks to its absolute maximum[cite: 691, 693]. ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction
