Q28 jee_main_2026_21_jan_morning Faraday's Law
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.
  • A. fracpi2
  • B. 2pi
  • C. pi
  • D. pi^2

Solution

### 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
Q8 jee_main_2025_02_april_evening Self Induction and Energy Stored
A solenoid having area A and length l is filled with a material having relative permeability 2. The magnetic energy stored in the solenoid is :
  • A. fracB^2 A lmu_0
  • B. fracB^2 A l2 mu_0
  • C. B^2 A l
  • D. fracB^2 A l4 mu_0

Solution

### Related Formula 1. Magnetic Energy Density (energy per unit volume): u_m = fracB^22 mu = fracB^22 mu_r mu_0 2. Total Energy stored: U = u_m times V = u_m times (A l) ### Core Logic We are given: - Relative permeability mu_r = 2 - Permeability of the filled core medium mu = mu_r mu_0 = 2 mu_0 Substitute mu_r = 2 into the energy density expression: u_m = fracB^22 (2 mu_0) = fracB^24 mu_0 Multiply by the total volume of the solenoid (V = A l): U = u_m cdot V = fracB^24 mu_0 A l ### Pattern Recognition Sees: Magnetic energy stored in a solenoid with medium relative permeability. Trap: Placing the relative permeability mu_r in the numerator of the formula instead of the denominator. Shortcut: Magnetic energy density is always inversely proportional to permeability. With medium mu = 2mu_0, energy density is halved compared to free space, giving fracB^24mu_0. Multiply by volume Al to get fracB^2 Al4mu_0. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction Class 12 Physics: Magnetism and Matter

Numerical Answer. Answer: 10 to 10

Solution

### Related Formula Motional electromotive force formula: epsilon = B cdot v cdot l_texteff where l_texteff is the net straight-line displacement distance joining start point A to target endpoint E (l_AE). ### Core Logic Since the external magnetic induction field map remains completely uniform across space, any arbitrary zig-zag wire loop profile can be simplified into a straight line connector vector bridging its raw boundary tips.

The figure outlines a segmented conductive wire trail pulled laterally through an orthogonal inward magnetic field matrix region.
### Step 1: Compute Effective Length From the geometric angle configurations: l_texteff = 2 cdot (10 cdot sin 45^circ) = 2 cdot 10 cdot frac1sqrt2 = 10sqrt2mathrm~cm = 0.1sqrt2mathrm~m (Alternatively tracking structural vector projections: l_AB = 2 cdot 10sin(45^circ)mathrm~cm). ### Step 2: Calculate Induced EMF Substitute the parameters into the induction formula: epsilon = left( frac1sqrt2 ight) times left( 10 times 10^-2mathrm~m/s ight) times left( 10sqrt2 times 10^-2mathrm~m ight) epsilon = frac1sqrt2 cdot (0.1) cdot (0.1sqrt2) = 0.01mathrm~V = 10mathrm~mV ### Pattern Recognition In uniform magnetic fields, intermediate paths do not affect motional EMF values. The output voltage depends strictly on the straight line distance joining the end tips perpendicular to the velocity direction. ### Evaluation Rubric / Model Answer null ### Chapter Mix Class 12 Physics: Electromagnetic Induction
Q1 jee_main_2025_28_jan_evening Motional EMF
A uniform magnetic field of 0.4 mathrmT acts perpendicular to a circular copper disc 20 mathrm~cm in radius. The disc is having a uniform angular velocity of 10 pi rad mathrms^-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? ( pi = 3.14 )
  • A. text0.0628 V
  • B. text0.5024 V
  • C. text0.2512 V
  • D. text0.1256 V

Solution

### 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
