A conducting circular loop of area 1.0 m² is placed perpendicular to a magnetic field which varies as B = (100 t) Tesla. If the resistance of the loop is 100 Ω, then the average thermal energy dissipated in the loop in one period is ____ J.

Solution & Explanation

Related Formula
φ = B · A E = -(dφ)/(dt) P = (E²)/(R)
Core Logic

Given area of the loop, A = 1 m² and magnetic field B = (100t). The magnetic flux passing through the loop is:

φ = B · A = (100t) × 1 = (100t)

Induced EMF E = | (dφ)/(dt) | = 100 (100t)

Step 1: Calculating Power and Energy

Instantaneous power P = (E²)/(R) = (100² ²(100t))/(100) = 100 ²(100t).

Thermal energy dissipated in one time period T:

Q = ∫₀T P dt = ∫₀T 100 ²(100t) dt

The angular frequency ω = 100 rad/s, so time period T = (2π)/(ω) = (2π)/(100) = (π)/(50) sec.

Q = 100 ∫₀π/50 ²(100t) dt = 100 ∫₀π/50 (1 + (200t))/(2) dt Q = 50 [ t + ( (200t))/(200) ]₀π/50 Q = 50 ( (π)/(50) - 0 ) = π Joules
Pattern Recognition

For a sinusoidal signal, the integral of ²(ω t) over one full period T is always T/2. Thus, ∫ P dt = Pmax × (T)/(2).

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

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
