A conducting circular loop of area 1.0 \, mathrmm^2 is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field which varies as B = sin(100 \, t)text Tesla. If the resistance of the loop is 100 \, Omega, then the average thermal energy dissipated in the loop in one period is ____ J.

Solution & Explanation

### Related Formula phi = B cdot A E = -fracdphidt P = fracE^2R ### Core Logic Given area of the loop, A = 1text m^2 and magnetic field B = sin(100t). The magnetic flux passing through the loop is: phi = B cdot A = sin(100t) times 1 = sin(100t) Induced EMF E = left| fracdphidt right| = 100cos(100t) ### Step 1: Calculating Power and Energy Instantaneous power P = fracE^2R = frac100^2 cos^2(100t)100 = 100cos^2(100t). Thermal energy dissipated in one time period T: Q = int_0^T P \, dt = int_0^T 100cos^2(100t) \, dt The angular frequency omega = 100text rad/s, so time period T = frac2piomega = frac2pi100 = fracpi50text sec. Q = 100 int_0^pi/50 cos^2(100t) \, dt = 100 int_0^pi/50 frac1 + cos(200t)2 \, dt Q = 50 left[ t + fracsin(200t)200 right]_0^pi/50 Q = 50 left( fracpi50 - 0 right) = pitext Joules ### Pattern Recognition For a sinusoidal signal, the integral of cos^2(omega t) over one full period T is always T/2. Thus, int P \, dt = P_textmax times fracT2. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction Class 12 Physics: Alternating Current
