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

Solution

### Related Formula The motional EMF induced across a moving conductor of instantaneous length ell inside a perpendicular uniform magnetic field is given by: E = B cdot ell cdot v ### Core Logic Let the V-shaped guide rails form an \angle, so that the instantaneous length ell of the conducting \bar grows linearly with its horizontal position distance x from the vertex [cite: 782, 791]: ell propto x Since the \bar moves with a constant velocity v, its displacement position at any time t is : x = v cdot t implies ell propto v cdot t Substituting this time-dependent length into the induced EMF expression : E = B cdot ell cdot v implies E propto B cdot (v cdot t) cdot v implies E propto t^1 Comparing this to the given relation E propto t^n gives the exponent[cite: 188, 791]: n = 1 ### Step 1: Geometric Analysis The expanding circuit loop configuration across time is shown below:

### Pattern Recognition For \parallel rails, the length ell remains constant, meaning induced EMF is independent of time (E propto t^0). For V-shaped divergent rails, the effective length increases linearly with distance, making the induced EMF directly proportional to time (E propto t^1). ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction

  • D. varepsilon_1 = -mathrmL_1fracmathrmdI_2mathrmdt -mathrmM_12fracmathrmdI_1mathrmdt

Solution

### Related Formula phi_1 = L_1 I_1 + M_12 I_2 varepsilon_1 = -fracmathrmdphi_1mathrmdt ### Core Logic The total flux linked with coil 1 is due to its own current I_1 and the mutual influence of current I_2 in the neighboring coil : phi_1 = L_1 I_1 + M_12 I_2 Differentiating with respect to time according to Faraday\'s Law yields : varepsilon_1 = -L_1 fracmathrmdI_1mathrmdt - M_12 fracmathrmdI_2mathrmdt ### Pattern Recognition Total induced emf sums both self-induction and mutual induction effects additively with standard Lenz law negative signs. ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction

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 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. ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction

Solution

### Related Formula The motional electromotive force (emf) induced in a conductor of length L moving with velocity v perpendicular to a magnetic field B is: e = B v L ### Core Logic Given parameters: * Length of wire, L = 5text m * Horizontal magnetic field component, B_H = 0.60 times 10^-4text Wb m^-2 * Velocity of fall, v = 10text ms^-1 ### Step 1: Calculate the Induced EMF Substitute the parameters directly into the motional emf formula: e = B_H v L e = (0.60 times 10^-4text Wb m^-2) times (10text ms^-1) times (5text m) e = 3 times 10^-3text V Comparing this to x times 10^-3text V, we find: x = 3 ### Pattern Recognition Motional EMF is directly the product of field, velocity, and length (e = B v L) when they are mutually perpendicular. A simple multiplication is all that is required here. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction
