Solution & Explanation

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 \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 $x$ $x$ from the vertex [cite: 782, 791]:

$\propto x$ $\ell \propto x$

Since the \bar moves with a constant velocity $v$ $v$, its displacement position at any time $t$ $t$ is :

x = v \cdot t \propto v \cdot t

Substituting this time-dependent length into the induced EMF expression :

E = B \cdot \cdot v E \propto B \cdot (v \cdot t) \cdot v E \propto t¹

Comparing this to the given relation $E \propto tⁿ$ $E \propto t^n$ gives the exponent[cite: 188, 791]:

$n = 1$ $n = 1$

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 ( $E \propto t⁰$ $E \propto t^0$). For V-shaped divergent rails, the effective length increases linearly with distance, making the induced EMF directly proportional to time ( $E \propto t¹$ $E \propto t^1$).

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 $t = 2 s$ $t = 2 \text{ s}$:

ε = - (10 \times 2 - 36)

ε = -(20 - 36) = 16 V

Step 2: Calculate Induced Current

I = (ε)/(R) = (16)/(8) = 2 A

Pattern Recognition

Flux polynomials ( $At² - Bt + C$ $At^2 - Bt + C$) instantly trigger a simple derivative test. Remember to drop the negative sign for final current magnitude unless direction is specifically asked.

Mutual Inductance diagram for Q57 - JEE Main 2024 Morning

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 $45^°$ $45^\circ$):

B = 4 \times [ (μ₀ i)/(4π (L/2)) ( 45^° + 45^°) ]

B = (μ₀ i)/(π (L/2)) ( 2\sqrt(2) )

B = 2\sqrt(2) μ₀ iπ L

Step 2: Mutual Inductance Calculation

Flux linkage for the inner loop:

φ = B \cdot ²

φ = 2\sqrt(2) μ₀ iπ L ²

Given $L = ²$ $L = \ell^2$:

φ = 2\sqrt(2) μ₀ iπ ( ²) ² = 2\sqrt(2) μ₀ iπ

Mutual inductance $M$ $M$:

M = (φ)/(i) = 2\sqrt(2) μ₀π

Using $μ₀ = 4π \times 10⁻⁷$ $\mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7}$:

M = 2\sqrt(2) \times 4π \times 10⁻⁷π

M = 8\sqrt(2) \times 10⁻⁷ H

M = \sqrt(128) \times 10⁻⁷ H

Comparing with $\sqrt(x) \times 10⁻⁷$ $\sqrt{x} \times 10^{-7}$, we get $x = 128$ $x = 128$.

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

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. $7$ $7$
B. $70$ $70$
C. $35$ $35$
D. $140$ $140$

Solution

Related Formula

ε = N | (Δφ)/(Δ t) |

Δφ = (Δ B) A θ

Core Logic

Given data: Initial Magnetic Field, $Bᵢ = 5000 T$ $B_i = 5000\mathrm{\,T}$ Final Magnetic Field, $Bf = 3000 T$ $B_f = 3000\mathrm{\,T}$ Time interval, $Δ t = 2 s$ $\Delta t = 2\mathrm{\,s}$ Diameter, $d = 0.02 m \Rightarrow r = 0.01 m$ Induced emf, $ε = 22 V$ $\varepsilon = 22\mathrm{\,V}$

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) )

$22 = N (0.1π)$ $22 = N (0.1\pi)$ Taking $π \approx 22/7$ $\pi \approx 22/7$:

22 = N ( 0.1 \times (22)/(7) )

1 = (N)/(70) \Rightarrow N = 70
