A uniform magnetic field of 0.4 T acts perpendicular to a circular copper disc 20 ~cm in radius. The disc is having a uniform angular velocity of 10 π rad s⁻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? ( π = 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 = (1)/(2) B ω R²
Core Logic

Given parameters from the problem statement [cite: 655, 657, 658]:

  • Magnetic field, B = 0.4 T
  • Radius of the disc, R = 20 cm = 0.2 m
  • Angular velocity, \omega = 10\pi \text{ rad s}^{-1}
  • Substituting the values into the governing formula:

E = (1)/(2) × 0.4 × (10 × 3.14) × (0.2)² E = 0.2 × 31.4 × 0.04 E = 0.2512 V
Step 1: Evaluation

The potential difference developed between the axis of the disc and the rim is precisely 0.2512 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 (1)/(2)Bω R².

Q53 jee_main_2024_31_jan_evening Faraday's Law
The magnetic flux φ (in weber) linked with a closed circuit of resistance 8 Ω varies with time (in seconds) as φ = 5t² - 36t + 1. The induced current in the circuit at t = 2 s is ________ A.
Numerical Answer. Answer: 2 to 2

Solution

Related Formula
ε = -(dφ)/(dt) I = (|ε|)/(R)
Core Logic

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.

Step 1: Calculate Induced EMF
ε = -(d)/(dt) (5t² - 36t + 1) ε = -(10t - 36)

At t = 2 s:

ε = - (10 × 2 - 36) ε = -(20 - 36) = 16 V
Step 2: Calculate Induced Current
I = (ε)/(R) = (16)/(8) = 2 A
Pattern Recognition

Flux polynomials (At² - Bt + C) instantly trigger a simple derivative test. Remember to drop the negative sign for final current magnitude unless direction is specifically asked.

Assume a current i flows through the larger square loop of side L. The magnetic field generated by it at its center acts as a uniform field across the very small inner loop of side .

The magnetic field at the center of the large square loop (distance d = L/2 from each side, angles 45^°):

B = 4 × [ (μ₀ i)/(4π (L/2)) ( 45^° + 45^°) ] B = (μ₀ i)/(π (L/2)) ( 2√(2) ) B = 2√(2) μ₀ iπ L
Step 2: Mutual Inductance Calculation

Flux linkage for the inner loop:

φ = B · ² φ = 2√(2) μ₀ iπ L ²

Given L = ²:

φ = 2√(2) μ₀ iπ ( ²) ² = 2√(2) μ₀ iπ

Mutual inductance M:

M = (φ)/(i) = 2√(2) μ₀π

Using μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷:

M = 2√(2) × 4π × 10⁻⁷π M = 8√(2) × 10⁻⁷ H M = √(128) × 10⁻⁷ H

Comparing with √(x) × 10⁻⁷, we get x = 128.

Q44 jee_main_2024_31_jan_morning Faraday's Law
A coil is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field of 5000 ~T. When the field is changed to 3000 ~T in 2s, an induced emf of 22 ~V is produced in the coil. If the diameter of the coil is 0.02 ~m, then the number of turns in the coil is:
  • A. 7
  • B. 70
  • C. 35
  • D. 140

Solution

Related Formula
ε = N | (Δφ)/(Δ t) | Δφ = (Δ B) A θ
Core Logic

Given data: Initial Magnetic Field, Bᵢ = 5000 T Final Magnetic Field, Bf = 3000 T Time interval, Δ t = 2 s Diameter, d = 0.02 m ⇒ r = 0.01 m Induced emf, ε = 22 V

Change in magnetic field magnitude |Δ B| = 5000 - 3000 = 2000 T. Area of the coil A = π r² = π (0.01)² = 10⁻⁴π m².

Step 2: Equation Evaluation
Δφ = |Δ B| A = (2000) π (0.01)² = 0.2π

Using Faraday's Law:

22 = N ( (0.2π)/(2) )

22 = N (0.1π) Taking π ≈ 22/7:

22 = N ( 0.1 × (22)/(7) ) 1 = (N)/(70) ⇒ N = 70
