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

Numerical Answer. Answer: 2 to 2

Solution

### Related Formula According to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, the magnitude of induced EMF (e) is: e = fracDelta phiDelta t where magnetic flux phi is defined via dot product: phi = vecB cdot vecA = B A cos theta ### Core Logic Let the East-West plane lie vertical along the x-z plane. The normal vector to the loop points along the North direction (along hatj): vecA = (0.1 mathrm~m)^2 hatj = 0.01 hatj mathrm~m^2 The uniform magnetic field points North-East, meaning it is at an angle of 45^circ to the North vector direction: vecB = B cos 45^circ hati + B sin 45^circ hatj = frac0.2sqrt2hati + frac0.2sqrt2hatj

### Step 1: Calculate Initial Flux $phi_i = vecB cdot vecA = left( frac0.2sqrt2 right) times 0.01 = frac2 times 10^-3sqrt2 = sqrt2 times 10^-3 mathrm~Wb ### Step 2: Find Induced EMF Since the field goes steadily to zero in \Delta t = 1 \mathrm{~s}, the final flux value \phi_f = 0: e = frac|0 - phi_i|1 = sqrt2 times 10^-3 mathrm~V ### Step 3: Extract x Comparing this with the target expression \sqrt{x} \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~V}: x = 2 ### Pattern Recognition Be careful when identifying angles between directional plane descriptors. An East-West plane has a normal axis directed North-South. A North-East field makes a clean 45^\circ$ angle relative to this structural normal line. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction

Numerical Answer. Answer: 45 to 45

Solution

### Related Formula eta = fracP_textoutP_textin P_textin = V_p I_p P_textout = V_s I_s ### Core Logic The efficiency eta of a transformer is the ratio of output power to input power. We can use this to find the secondary (output) current. ### Step 1: Calculate Input Power Given: V_p = 2.3 mathrm~kV = 2300 mathrm~V I_p = 5 mathrm~A P_textin = 2300 times 5 mathrm~W ### Step 2: Calculate Output Power and Current Efficiency eta = 90\% = 0.9 P_textout = eta times P_textin = 0.9 times 2300 times 5 Since P_textout = V_s I_s and V_s = 230 mathrm~V: V_s I_s = 230 times I_s = 0.9 times 2300 times 5 I_s = frac0.9 times 2300 times 5230 = 0.9 times 10 times 5 I_s = 9 times 5 = 45 mathrm~A ### Pattern Recognition Transformer equations are direct: eta V_p I_p = V_s I_s.

A ceiling fan having 3 blades of length 80 mathrm~cm each is rotating with an angular velocity of 1200 mathrm~rpm. The magnetic field of earth in that region is 0.5 mathrm~G and angle of dip is 30^circ. The emf induced across the blades is N pi times 10^-5 mathrm~V. The value of N is _______.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 32 to 32

Solution

### Related Formula varepsilon = frac12 B_v omega ell^2 B_v = B sin delta ### Core Logic For a horizontal fan rotating in the Earth's magnetic field, the blades cut only the vertical component of the magnetic field (B_v). The number of blades is a distractor, as they are all in parallel, meaning the EMF developed across one blade is the same as the EMF across the whole fan setup. ### Step 1: Calculate Field and Omega Vertical component of magnetic field: B_v = B sin(30^circ) = (0.5 times 10^-4 mathrm~T) times frac12 = 0.25 times 10^-4 mathrm~T = frac14 times 10^-4 mathrm~T Angular velocity in rad/s: omega = 2pi f = 2pi left(frac120060right) = 40pi mathrm~rad/s ### Step 2: Calculate Induced EMF Length of blade ell = 80 mathrm~cm = 0.8 mathrm~m. varepsilon = frac12 B_v omega ell^2 varepsilon = frac12 left(frac14 times 10^-4right) (40pi) (0.8)^2 varepsilon = frac18 times 10^-4 times 40pi times 0.64 varepsilon = 5pi times 10^-4 times 0.64 varepsilon = 3.2pi times 10^-4 mathrm~V varepsilon = 32pi times 10^-5 mathrm~V ### Step 3: Extract N Given varepsilon = Npi times 10^-5 mathrm~V, we can directly see that N = 32. ### Pattern Recognition Motional EMF for rotating rods acts like a battery. Multiple identical blades radiating from the center to the rim behave like multiple identical batteries in parallel; the total voltage does not stack. Isolate B_v for horizontal spinners. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction Class 12 Physics: Magnetism and Matter
