$A$ metal rod of length $l$ rotates about one of its ends in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field of induction $B$. If the e.m.f. induced between the ends of the rod is $e$,then the number of revolutions made by the rod per second is:
A
$\frac{\pi l^2}{eB}$
B
$\frac{e}{B \pi l^2}$
C
$\frac{e}{B \pi^2 l}$
D
$\frac{B^2}{e \pi l}$

Solution

(B) The induced e.m.f. $e$ in a rotating rod is given by the rate of change of magnetic flux $\phi$ linked with the area swept by the rod.
$e = \frac{d\phi}{dt} = B \frac{dA}{dt}$
In one complete revolution,the rod sweeps an area $A = \pi l^2$.
If the rod makes $f$ revolutions per second,the area swept per unit time is $\frac{dA}{dt} = f \cdot A = f \cdot \pi l^2$.
Substituting this into the e.m.f. equation:
$e = B \cdot (f \cdot \pi l^2)$
Rearranging to solve for the frequency $f$ (number of revolutions per second):
$f = \frac{e}{B \pi l^2}$

$A$ metal wire of length $2500 \ m$ is kept in east-west direction,at a certain height from the ground. If it falls freely on the ground,then the current induced in the wire when its speed is $10 \ m/s$ is (Resistance of wire $= 25 \ \Omega$,$g = 10 \ m/s^2$ and Earth's horizontal component of magnetic field $B_{H} = 2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$). (in $A$)
A
$0.2$
B
$0.02$
C
$0.01$
D
$2$

Solution

(B) The motional electromotive force (emf) induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic field is given by $e = B_{H} l v$.
Given:
Length of wire $l = 2500 \ m$
Speed of wire $v = 10 \ m/s$
Horizontal component of Earth's magnetic field $B_{H} = 2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$
Resistance of wire $R = 25 \ \Omega$
Calculating the induced emf:
$e = (2 \times 10^{-5} \ T) \times (2500 \ m) \times (10 \ m/s) = 0.5 \ V$
Now,calculating the induced current $I$ using Ohm's law:
$I = e / R = 0.5 \ V / 25 \ \Omega = 0.02 \ A$
Therefore,the induced current is $0.02 \ A$.

$A$ metal conductor of length $1 \ m$ rotates vertically about one of its ends at an angular velocity of $5 \ rad/s$. If the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field is $0.2 \times 10^{-4} \ T$,then the e.m.f. developed between the two ends of the conductor is:
A
$5 \ \mu V$
B
$50 \ mV$
C
$5 \ mV$
D
$50 \ \mu V$

Solution

(D) The induced electromotive force $(e)$ in a conductor of length $\ell$ rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ in a magnetic field $B$ is given by the formula:
$e = \frac{1}{2} B \omega \ell^2$
Given values:
$B = 0.2 \times 10^{-4} \ T$
$\omega = 5 \ rad/s$
$\ell = 1 \ m$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$e = \frac{1}{2} \times (0.2 \times 10^{-4}) \times 5 \times (1)^2$
$e = 0.5 \times 10^{-4} \ V$
$e = 50 \times 10^{-6} \ V = 50 \ \mu V$

$A$ straight conductor of length $0.6 \, m$ is moved with a speed of $10 \, ms^{-1}$ perpendicular to a magnetic field of induction $1.2 \, Wb \cdot m^{-2}$. The induced e.m.f. across the conductor is (in $V$)
A
$6$
B
$7.2$
C
$0.72$
D
$12$

Solution

(B) The induced electromotive force (e.m.f.) in a conductor moving through a magnetic field is given by the formula:
$E = B \ell v$
Where:
$B = 1.2 \, Wb \cdot m^{-2}$ (Magnetic field induction)
$\ell = 0.6 \, m$ (Length of the conductor)
$v = 10 \, ms^{-1}$ (Speed of the conductor)
Substituting the values into the formula:
$E = 1.2 \times 0.6 \times 10$
$E = 7.2 \, V$
Therefore, the induced e.m.f. across the conductor is $7.2 \, V$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ wire of length $L$ having resistance $R$ falls from a height $\ell$ in the Earth's horizontal magnetic field $B$. The induced emf through the wire is ($g$ = acceleration due to gravity).
A
$BL \sqrt{2g\ell}$
B
$\frac{BL \sqrt{2g\ell}}{2}$
C
$\frac{BL \sqrt{2g\ell}}{R}$
D
$\frac{BL}{\sqrt{2g\ell}}$

Solution

(A) When a wire falls freely from a height $\ell$ under gravity,its velocity $v$ at the moment it reaches the ground is given by the equation of motion $v^2 = u^2 + 2g\ell$. Since the initial velocity $u = 0$,we have $v = \sqrt{2g\ell}$.
The motional electromotive force (emf) induced in a conductor of length $L$ moving with velocity $v$ perpendicular to a magnetic field $B$ is given by the formula $E = BLv$.
Substituting the value of $v$ into the emf equation,we get $E = BL \sqrt{2g\ell}$.

EasyMCQ
$A$ wire of length $1 \, m$ is moving at a speed of $2 \, m/s$ perpendicular to a homogeneous magnetic field of $0.5 \, T$. The ends of the wire are joined to a resistance of $6 \, \Omega$. The rate at which work is being done to keep the wire moving at that speed is:
A
$1/3 \, W$
B
$1/6 \, W$
C
$1/12 \, W$
D
$1 \, W$

Solution

(B) The induced electromotive force (emf) $e$ in the moving wire is given by $e = B \ell v$.
Substituting the given values: $e = 0.5 \, T \times 1 \, m \times 2 \, m/s = 1 \, V$.
The rate at which work is done to keep the wire moving at a constant speed is equal to the power dissipated in the resistance $R$.
The power $P$ is given by $P = \frac{e^2}{R}$.
Substituting the values: $P = \frac{(1 \, V)^2}{6 \, \Omega} = \frac{1}{6} \, W$.

$A$ straight conductor of length $0.4 \ m$ is moving with a speed of $7 \ ms^{-1}$ perpendicular to a magnetic field of intensity $0.9 \ Wb \ m^{-2}$. The induced emf across the conductor will be (in $V$)
A
$7.25$
B
$5.52$
C
$1.25$
D
$2.52$

Solution

(D) The motional electromotive force (emf) induced in a straight conductor of length $l$ moving with velocity $v$ in a uniform magnetic field $B$ is given by the formula:
$e = Bvl \sin \theta$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the velocity vector and the length of the conductor.
Given:
Length of the conductor,$l = 0.4 \ m$
Speed of the conductor,$v = 7 \ ms^{-1}$
Magnetic field intensity,$B = 0.9 \ Wb \ m^{-2}$
Since the conductor is moving perpendicular to the magnetic field,the effective length is perpendicular to the velocity,so $\theta = 90^\circ$ and $\sin 90^\circ = 1$.
Therefore,the induced emf is:
$e = Bvl = 0.9 \times 7 \times 0.4$
$e = 2.52 \ V$

MediumMCQ
$A$ simple pendulum with a bob of mass $m$ and a conducting wire of length $L$ swings under gravity through an angle $\theta$. The component of the Earth's magnetic field in the direction perpendicular to the swing is $B$. The maximum e.m.f. induced across the pendulum is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).
A
$2 BL(\sqrt{gL})(\sin \theta / 2)$
B
$BL(\sqrt{gL})(\sin \theta / 2)$
C
$BL(\sqrt{gL})^2(\sin \theta / 2)$
D
$2 BL(\sqrt{gL})\left(\sin ^2 \theta / 2\right)$

Solution

(A) The motional e.m.f. induced in a conductor of length $L$ moving with velocity $v$ in a magnetic field $B$ is given by $\varepsilon = BLv$.
For a pendulum,the maximum velocity $v_{max}$ occurs at the lowest point of the swing.
Using the principle of conservation of energy,the potential energy at the maximum angle $\theta$ is converted into kinetic energy at the lowest point: $mgL(1 - \cos \theta) = \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2$.
Simplifying this,$v_{max}^2 = 2gL(1 - \cos \theta)$.
Using the trigonometric identity $1 - \cos \theta = 2 \sin^2(\theta / 2)$,we get $v_{max}^2 = 2gL(2 \sin^2(\theta / 2)) = 4gL \sin^2(\theta / 2)$.
Taking the square root,$v_{max} = 2\sqrt{gL} \sin(\theta / 2)$.
Substituting $v_{max}$ into the e.m.f. formula: $\varepsilon_{max} = BL(2\sqrt{gL} \sin(\theta / 2)) = 2BL\sqrt{gL} \sin(\theta / 2)$.
Thus,the correct option is $A$.

$A$ long rectangular conducting loop of width ' $\ell$ ',mass ' $m$ ' and resistance ' $R$ ' is placed partly in a perpendicular magnetic field ' $B$ '. It is pushed downwards with velocity ' $V$ ' so that it may continue to fall freely. The velocity ' $V$ ' is
Question diagram
A
$\frac{mg R^2}{B \ell}$
B
$\frac{B^2 \ell^2 R}{mg}$
C
$\frac{mg R}{B^2 \ell^2}$
D
$\frac{mg \ell}{B^2 R^2}$

Solution

(C) When the loop moves downwards with velocity $V$ in a magnetic field $B$,an induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ is generated across the horizontal side of length $\ell$ inside the magnetic field.
The induced $EMF$ is given by $\varepsilon = B \ell V$.
The induced current in the loop is $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R} = \frac{B \ell V}{R}$.
The magnetic force acting on the horizontal side of the loop is $F_m = I \ell B = \left( \frac{B \ell V}{R} \right) \ell B = \frac{B^2 \ell^2 V}{R}$.
For the loop to fall freely with a constant velocity $V$,the downward gravitational force must be balanced by the upward magnetic force:
$mg = F_m$
$mg = \frac{B^2 \ell^2 V}{R}$
Solving for $V$,we get:
$V = \frac{mg R}{B^2 \ell^2}$.

$A$ bicycle wheel of radius $R$ has $n$ spokes. It is rotating at the rate of $F$ r.p.m. perpendicular to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field $\vec{B}$. The e.m.f. induced between the rim and the centre of the wheel is
A
$\frac{1}{2} B \pi F R^2$
B
$B \pi F R^2$
C
$\frac{1}{n} B \pi F R$
D
$B \pi F R^2 n$

Solution

(A) The angular velocity $\omega$ in radians per second is given by $\omega = 2 \pi f$,where $f$ is the frequency in revolutions per second. Since $F$ is in r.p.m.,$f = \frac{F}{60}$.
Thus,$\omega = 2 \pi \frac{F}{60} = \frac{\pi F}{30}$.
Consider a small element $dr$ at a distance $r$ from the center. The motional e.m.f. $dE$ induced across this element is $dE = B v dr = B (r \omega) dr$.
Integrating from $r = 0$ to $r = R$:
$E = \int_{0}^{R} B \omega r dr = B \omega \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{R} = \frac{1}{2} B \omega R^2$.
Substituting $\omega = \frac{2 \pi F}{60}$:
$E = \frac{1}{2} B \left( \frac{2 \pi F}{60} \right) R^2 = \frac{B \pi F R^2}{60}$.
Note: If $F$ is treated as revolutions per second (rps) in the context of standard physics problems of this type,the answer is $\frac{1}{2} B \pi F R^2$. Given the options,the intended answer is $A$.

$A$ rod of length $l$ is rotated with angular velocity $\omega$ about one of its ends,in a region perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of induction $B$. The induced e.m.f. in the rod is:
A
$B l^2 \omega$
B
$0.5 B l^2 \omega$
C
$B / \omega$
D
$0.5 B / \omega$

Solution

(B) Consider a small element of length $dr$ at a distance $r$ from the fixed end of the rod.
The velocity of this element is $v = r \omega$.
The motional e.m.f. induced across this small element is $de = B v dr = B (r \omega) dr$.
To find the total induced e.m.f. across the entire length of the rod,we integrate from $r = 0$ to $r = l$:
$e = \int_{0}^{l} B \omega r dr$
$e = B \omega \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{l}$
$e = \frac{1}{2} B l^2 \omega = 0.5 B l^2 \omega$.

MediumMCQ
$A$ square loop $ABCD$ is moving with constant velocity $\vec{v}$ in a uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ which is perpendicular to the plane of paper and directed outward. The resistance of the coil is $R$. What is the rate of production of heat energy in the loop? [$L$ = length of side of the loop]
A
$\frac{B^2 L^2 V}{R}$
B
$\frac{B^2 L^2 V^2}{R}$
C
$\frac{B^2 LV^2}{R}$
D
$\frac{BLV^2}{R}$

Solution

(B) When a conductor of length $L$ moves with velocity $V$ in a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to it,the motional electromotive force $(e.m.f.)$ induced is given by $e = BLV$.
Since the loop is moving in a uniform magnetic field,the magnetic flux linked with the loop remains constant if the entire loop is within the field. However,if the loop is entering or leaving the field,an $e.m.f.$ is induced across the side cutting the field lines.
The rate of production of heat energy (power dissipated) in the loop is given by $P = \frac{e^2}{R}$.
Substituting the value of $e = BLV$,we get:
$P = \frac{(BLV)^2}{R} = \frac{B^2 L^2 V^2}{R}$.

If the speed of the boat is $2.00 \text{ m/s}$, the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. in the rod is: (in $\text{ mV}$)
A
$1.4$
B
$0.54$
C
$0.72$
D
$0.144$

Solution

(D) The induced electromotive force $(e)$ in a conductor moving through a magnetic field is given by the formula: $e = B \cdot v \cdot l$, where $B$ is the magnetic field, $v$ is the velocity, and $l$ is the length of the rod.
Given:
$B = 3.6 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$
$v = 2.00 \text{ m/s}$
$l = 2 \text{ m}$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$e = (3.6 \times 10^{-5}) \times 2.00 \times 2$
$e = 14.4 \times 10^{-5} \text{ V}$
$e = 0.144 \times 10^{-3} \text{ V}$
$e = 0.144 \text{ mV}$

$A$ metal disc of radius $R$ rotates with an angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis perpendicular to its plane passing through its centre in a magnetic field of induction $B$ acting perpendicular to the plane of the disc. The induced e.m.f. between the rim and axis of the disc is:
A
$B \pi R^2$
B
$\frac{2 B \pi^2 R^2}{\omega}$
C
$B \pi R^2 \omega$
D
$\frac{BR^2 \omega}{2}$

Solution

(D) Consider a small radial element of length $dr$ at a distance $r$ from the centre of the disc.
As the disc rotates,this element moves with a linear velocity $v = r\omega$ perpendicular to the magnetic field $B$.
The motional e.m.f. $de$ induced across this small element is given by $de = Bv dr = B(r\omega) dr$.
To find the total induced e.m.f. $e$ between the centre (axis) and the rim (radius $R$),we integrate the expression from $r = 0$ to $r = R$:
$e = \int_{0}^{R} B\omega r dr$
$e = B\omega \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{R}$
$e = \frac{1}{2} B\omega R^2$.

$A$ metal disc of radius $R$ rotates with an angular velocity $\omega$ about an axis perpendicular to its plane passing through its centre in a magnetic field of induction $B$ acting perpendicular to the plane of the disc. The induced e.m.f. between the rim and axis of the disc is (magnitude only):
A
$\frac{R \omega^2 R^2}{2}$
B
$\frac{R \omega R}{2}$
C
$\frac{B \omega^2 R}{2}$
D
$\frac{B \omega R^2}{2}$

Solution

(D) The correct option is $D$.
We can imagine the disc to be a collection of thin rods connected in parallel between the center of the disc and the rim. So,if we calculate the induced e.m.f. on a thin rod rotating about its axis,it should be equal to that of the disc.
The tiny motional e.m.f. developed across the element $dr$ at a distance $r$ from the center can be written as:
$dE = Bv dr$
Taking the linear velocity $v = \omega r$,we get:
$dE = B \omega r dr$
On integrating across the rod from $r = 0$ to $r = R$:
$E = \int_0^{R} B \omega r dr = B \omega \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_0^{R} = \frac{B \omega R^2}{2}$

$A$ long,rectangular conducting loop of width $l$,mass $m$,and resistance $R$ is placed partly in a perpendicular magnetic field $B$. It is pushed downwards with velocity $v$ so that it may continue to fall freely. The velocity $v$ is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).
Question diagram
A
$\frac{m g R^2}{B l}$
B
$\frac{m g R}{B^2 l^2}$
C
$\frac{m g l}{B^2 R^2}$
D
$\frac{B^2 l^2 R}{m g}$

Solution

(B) The motional emf induced in the loop is given by: $V = B v l$.
The current $i$ in the loop is given by Ohm's law: $i = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{B v l}{R}$.
As the loop falls,it experiences a magnetic force $F_m = i l B$ acting upwards. For the loop to fall with a constant terminal velocity $v$,the magnetic force must balance the gravitational force $mg$ acting downwards.
Therefore,$i l B = m g$.
Substituting the expression for $i$:
$B \left( \frac{B v l}{R} \right) l = m g$
$\frac{B^2 l^2 v}{R} = m g$
$v = \frac{m g R}{B^2 l^2}$.

Solution

(A) Given:
Magnetic field $B = 0.1 \, T$
Length of the arm $PQ$, $\ell = 12 \, cm = 0.12 \, m$
Velocity of the arm, $v = 20 \, ms^{-1}$
Resistance of the loop, $R = 2 \, \Omega$
The motional electromotive force (emf) induced in the moving arm is given by:
$e = B \ell v$
$e = 0.1 \, T \times 0.12 \, m \times 20 \, ms^{-1}$
$e = 0.24 \, V$
The induced current $I$ in the loop is given by Ohm's law:
$I = \frac{e}{R}$
$I = \frac{0.24 \, V}{2 \, \Omega} = 0.12 \, A$
Therefore, the current induced in the loop is $0.12 \, A$.

When a rod of length $l$ is rotated with angular velocity $\omega$ in a uniform magnetic field of induction $B$ perpendicular to the plane of rotation,about one of its ends,the induced emf across its ends is:
A
$B l^{2} \omega$
B
$\frac{B l^{2} \omega}{2}$
C
$Bl\omega$
D
$\frac{B l \omega}{2}$

Solution

(B) Consider a small element of length $dr$ at a distance $r$ from the fixed end of the rod.
As the rod rotates with angular velocity $\omega$,the linear velocity of this element is $v = r\omega$.
The motional emf $de$ induced across this small element is given by $de = B v dr = B (r\omega) dr$.
To find the total emf $e$ induced across the entire length of the rod,we integrate this expression from $r = 0$ to $r = l$:
$e = \int_{0}^{l} B \omega r dr = B \omega \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{l} = \frac{1}{2} B l^2 \omega$.

Solution

(B) Area of the square loop $A = 25 \, cm^2 = 25 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$.
Side length $l = \sqrt{A} = 5 \, cm = 0.05 \, m$.
Velocity $v = \frac{l}{t} = \frac{0.05 \, m}{1 \, s} = 0.05 \, m/s$.
Induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ $e = B l v$.
Induced current $I = \frac{e}{R} = \frac{B l v}{R}$.
Substituting the values: $I = \frac{40 \times 0.05 \times 0.05}{10} = 0.01 \, A$.
The magnetic force on the conductor is $F = B I l$.
$F = 40 \times 0.01 \times 0.05 = 0.02 \, N$.

Question diagram
A
$\frac{B^{2} L^{2} V}{R}$
B
$\frac{BLV}{R}$
C
$\frac{BLV^{2}}{R}$
D
$\frac{B^{2} LV}{R}$

Solution

(A) When a rod of length $L$ moves with a velocity $V$ in a magnetic field $B$,the induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ is given by $\varepsilon = BLV$.
The induced current in the circuit is $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R} = \frac{BLV}{R}$.
The magnetic force acting on the current-carrying rod is $F = BIL$.
Substituting the value of $I$,we get $F = B \left( \frac{BLV}{R} \right) L = \frac{B^{2} L^{2} V}{R}$.
Since the rod moves with a constant speed,the external force applied must be equal to the magnetic force acting on it. Therefore,the required force is $F = \frac{B^{2} L^{2} V}{R}$.

$A$ conducting wire of length $2500 \ m$ is kept in the east-west direction at a height of $10 \ m$ from the ground. If it falls freely to the ground,the induced current in the wire is (Resistance of wire $= 25 \sqrt{2} \ \Omega$,acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$,$B_H = 2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$). (in $A$)
A
$0.2$
B
$0.02$
C
$0.01$
D
$2$

Solution

(B) The induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ in a wire moving through a magnetic field is given by $e = B_H \cdot l \cdot v$.
Since the wire falls freely from a height $h = 10 \ m$,its velocity $v$ just before hitting the ground is given by $v = \sqrt{2gh}$.
Substituting the values: $v = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 10} = \sqrt{200} = 10\sqrt{2} \ m/s$.
Now,calculate the induced $EMF$: $e = (2 \times 10^{-5} \ T) \times (2500 \ \text{m}) \times (10\sqrt{2} \ m/s)$.
$e = 50000 \times 10^{-5} \times \sqrt{2} = 0.5 \sqrt{2} \ V$.
The induced current $I$ is given by $I = \frac{e}{R}$.
$I = \frac{0.5 \sqrt{2}}{25 \sqrt{2}} = \frac{0.5}{25} = 0.02 \ A$.

A
$\frac{BLV}{R}$
B
$\frac{B^2 L^2 V^2}{R^2}$
C
$\frac{BLV}{R^2}$
D
$\frac{B^2 L^2 V^2}{R}$

Solution

(D) The motional electromotive force $(emf)$ induced in a conductor of length $L$ moving with velocity $V$ in a magnetic field $B$ is given by $e = BLV$.
The current $I$ flowing through the circuit with resistance $R$ is $I = \frac{e}{R} = \frac{BLV}{R}$.
The rate of production of heat energy (power dissipated) in the loop is given by $P = I^2 R$.
Substituting the value of $I$:
$P = \left( \frac{BLV}{R} \right)^2 R = \frac{B^2 L^2 V^2}{R^2} \cdot R = \frac{B^2 L^2 V^2}{R}$.
Alternatively,the mechanical power required to pull the loop is $P = F \cdot V$,where $F = BIL$ is the magnetic force.
$P = (B \cdot I \cdot L) \cdot V = B \cdot \left( \frac{BLV}{R} \right) \cdot L \cdot V = \frac{B^2 L^2 V^2}{R}$.

An aircraft of wing span $40 \ m$ flies horizontally in the Earth's magnetic field of $5 \times 10^{-5} \ T$ at a speed of $500 \ m/s$. The electromotive force (e.m.f.) generated between the tips of the wings of the aircraft is: (in $V$)
A
$0.5$
B
$1$
C
$1.2$
D
$1.0$

Solution

(B) The motional e.m.f. induced in a conductor moving through a magnetic field is given by the formula: $\varepsilon = B \cdot l \cdot v$.
Given values:
Magnetic field $B = 5 \times 10^{-5} \ T$,
Wing span (length) $l = 40 \ m$,
Speed $v = 500 \ m/s$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\varepsilon = (5 \times 10^{-5} \ T) \times (40 \ m) \times (500 \ m/s)$
$\varepsilon = 5 \times 10^{-5} \times 20000$
$\varepsilon = 5 \times 10^{-5} \times 2 \times 10^4$
$\varepsilon = 10 \times 10^{-1} \ V$
$\varepsilon = 1 \ V$.
Therefore,the e.m.f. generated is $1 \ V$.

$A$ horizontal wire of mass $m$,length $l$,and resistance $R$ is sliding on vertical rails in a uniform magnetic field $B$ directed perpendicularly. The terminal speed of the wire as it falls under the force of gravity is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).
A
$\frac{mgl}{BR}$
B
$\frac{B^2 l^2}{mgR}$
C
$\frac{mgR}{Bl}$
D
$\frac{mgR}{B^2 l^2}$

Solution

(D) When the wire attains terminal velocity,the net force acting on it becomes zero.
Therefore,the magnetic force equals the gravitational force.
$iBl = mg$
Since the induced current $i = \frac{e}{R}$ and the induced electromotive force $e = Bvl$,we substitute these into the equation:
$\frac{Bvl}{R} \cdot Bl = mg$
$\frac{B^2 l^2 v}{R} = mg$
Solving for terminal velocity $v$:
$v = \frac{mgR}{B^2 l^2}$

$A$ simple pendulum with a bob of mass $m$ and a conducting wire of length $L$ swings under gravity through an angle $\theta$. The component of the Earth's magnetic field in the direction perpendicular to the swing is $B$. The maximum e.m.f. induced across the pendulum is ($g=$ acceleration due to gravity).

B
$2 BL \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)(gL)^2$
C
$2 BL \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)(gL)^{3 / 2}$
D
$2 BL \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)(gL)^{1 / 2}$

Solution

(D) The vertical height $h$ through which the bob rises is given by $h = L(1 - \cos \theta)$.
Using the conservation of mechanical energy,the maximum velocity $v$ at the equilibrium position is given by $v^2 = 2gh$.
Substituting $h = L(1 - \cos \theta)$ and using the trigonometric identity $1 - \cos \theta = 2 \sin^2(\theta/2)$:
$v^2 = 2gL(2 \sin^2(\theta/2)) = 4gL \sin^2(\theta/2)$.
Taking the square root,we get $v = 2 \sin(\theta/2) \sqrt{gL}$.
The motional e.m.f. induced across a conductor of length $L$ moving with velocity $v$ perpendicular to a magnetic field $B$ is given by $V = BvL$.
Substituting the value of $v$:
$V_{\max} = B \cdot [2 \sin(\theta/2) \sqrt{gL}] \cdot L = 2BL \sin(\theta/2) \sqrt{gL} = 2BL \sin(\theta/2) (gL)^{1/2}$.

Out of the following given loops, in which loop is the direction of the induced current from $a \rightarrow c \rightarrow b$?
A
Option A
B
Option B
C
Option C
D
Option D

Solution

(A) To find the direction of the induced current, we use Lenz's Law and the motional $EMF$ concept.
$1$. The induced current flows in a direction such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux.
$2$. For a loop moving in a uniform magnetic field, the motional $EMF$ is induced across the rod moving perpendicular to the field. The direction of the force on the charge carriers (electrons) is given by $\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})$.
$3$. In option $A$, the triangular loop is moving to the right in a magnetic field directed into the page $(\otimes)$. The vertical segment $ab$ acts as a moving rod. Using the right-hand rule for the force on positive charges, $\vec{v}$ is to the right and $\vec{B}$ is into the page, so $\vec{v} \times \vec{B}$ points upwards (towards $a$). Thus, the induced current flows from $b \rightarrow a$ and then through the rest of the loop $a \rightarrow c \rightarrow b$.
$4$. Therefore, the direction of the induced current is $a \rightarrow c \rightarrow b$.

Solution

(A) The induced electromotive force $(\varepsilon)$ across a rotating conducting spoke in a magnetic field is given by the formula: $\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} B \omega R^2$.
Given values are:
Magnetic field $(B)$ = $0.2 \, T$
Angular velocity $(\omega)$ = $10 \, rad \, s^{-1}$
Radius $(R)$ = $2 \, m$
Substituting these values into the formula:

$\varepsilon = 0.1 \times 10 \times 4$
$\varepsilon = 4 \, V$
The number of spokes does not affect the potential difference between the rim and the center, as they are connected in parallel.

C
$20 \times 10^{-4} \ V/s$
D
$20 \times 10^{-4} \ V/s^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The induced $emf$ $(\varepsilon)$ in a rod of length $l$ moving with velocity $v$ in a magnetic field $B$ is given by $\varepsilon = B l v$.
To find the rate of increase of induced $emf$, we differentiate with respect to time $t$:
$\frac{d\varepsilon}{dt} = B l \frac{dv}{dt}$.
Since $\frac{dv}{dt} = a$ (acceleration), we have $\frac{d\varepsilon}{dt} = B l a$.
Given: $B = 5 \times 10^{-4} \ Wb/m^2$, $l = 10 \ cm = 0.1 \ m$, $a = 5 \ m/s^2$.
Substituting the values:
$\frac{d\varepsilon}{dt} = (5 \times 10^{-4}) \times (0.1) \times (5) = 25 \times 10^{-4} \times 0.1 = 2.5 \times 10^{-4} \ V/s$.

C
$6.28 \times 10^{-2} \ mV$
D
$6.28 \times 10^{-5} \ \mu V$

Solution

(C) Given: Length of each spoke $R = 0.5 \ m$,angular speed $\omega = 120 \ rev/min$,and magnetic field $B = H_E = 0.4 \ G = 0.4 \times 10^{-4} \ T$.
First,convert the angular speed to $rad/s$:
$\omega = \frac{120 \times 2\pi}{60} = 4\pi \ rad/s$.
The induced emf across the spokes of a rotating wheel in a magnetic field is given by the formula:
$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} B \omega R^2$.
Substituting the values:
$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} \times (0.4 \times 10^{-4} \ T) \times (4\pi \ rad/s) \times (0.5 \ m)^2$.
$\varepsilon = 0.2 \times 10^{-4} \times 4\pi \times 0.25$.
$\varepsilon = 0.2 \times 10^{-4} \times \pi$.
$\varepsilon = 0.2 \times 3.14159 \times 10^{-4} \ V$.
$\varepsilon = 0.6283 \times 10^{-4} \ V = 6.283 \times 10^{-5} \ V$.
Converting to millivolts $(mV)$:
$\varepsilon = 6.283 \times 10^{-5} \times 10^3 \ mV = 6.283 \times 10^{-2} \ mV$.
Thus,the correct option is $C$.

Magnetic field,$B = 0.5 \ T$
The motional electromotive force (emf) induced in a rod rotating about one of its ends in a uniform magnetic field is given by the formula:
$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} B \omega l^2$
Substituting the given values into the formula:
$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} \times 0.5 \times 200 \times (1.0)^2$
$\varepsilon = 0.5 \times 100$
$\varepsilon = 50 \ V$
Thus,the emf developed between the centre and the ring is $50 \ V$.

Substituting the values: $e = (3 \times 10^{-5} \,T) \times (20 \,m/s) \times (1 \,m)$.
$e = 60 \times 10^{-5} \,V = 6 \times 10^{-4} \,V$.

Question diagram
A
decrease
B
increase
C
increase or decrease depending on whether the semicircle bulges towards the resistance or away from it
D
remain same

Solution

(D) The motional electromotive force (emf) induced in a conductor moving in a magnetic field is given by $e = \int (\vec{v} \times \vec{B}) \cdot d\vec{l}$.
For a conductor moving with velocity $v$ perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field $B$,the induced emf is $e = B v L_{eff}$,where $L_{eff}$ is the effective length of the conductor perpendicular to the velocity vector.
The effective length $L_{eff}$ is the straight-line distance between the two ends of the wire that are in contact with the rails.
When the straight wire $AB$ is replaced by a semicircular wire with the same endpoints $A$ and $B$,the effective length $L_{eff}$ (the distance between $A$ and $B$) remains the same.
Since the induced emf $e = B v L_{eff}$ depends only on the distance between the contact points on the rails,the emf remains unchanged.
Assuming the resistance $R$ of the circuit remains constant,the induced current $i = e/R$ will also remain the same.

$A$ wheel with $10$ spokes,each of length $L \ m$,is rotated with a uniform angular velocity $\omega$ in a plane normal to a magnetic field $B$. What is the emf induced between the axle and the rim of the wheel?
A
$\frac{1}{2} N \omega B L^{2}$
B
$\frac{1}{2} \omega B L^{2}$
C
$\omega B L^{2}$
D
$N \omega B L^{2}$

Solution

(B) The emf induced in a single conducting rod of length $L$ rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ in a uniform magnetic field $B$ perpendicular to the plane of rotation is given by the formula $E = \int_{0}^{L} B v \, dr = \int_{0}^{L} B (r \omega) \, dr$.
Integrating this,we get $E = B \omega \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_{0}^{L} = \frac{1}{2} B \omega L^2$.
Since all spokes are connected in parallel between the axle and the rim,the potential difference across each spoke is the same.
Therefore,the total emf induced between the axle and the rim remains $E = \frac{1}{2} B \omega L^2$.

B
$\frac{m \omega x}{e}$
C
$\frac{m x}{\omega^{2} l}$
D

Solution

(A) In circular motion,the net centripetal force on an electron of mass $m$ at a distance $x$ from the axis of rotation is given by $F_{c} = m \omega^{2} x$.
When the rod rotates,the electrons within the rod also rotate,experiencing this centripetal force.
This centripetal force is provided by the induced electric field $E$ acting on the electron,such that $F_{e} = e E$.
Equating the two forces,we have $e E = m \omega^{2} x$.
Solving for the electric field $E$,we get $E = \frac{m \omega^{2} x}{e}$.

Solution

(B) Given: Wing span $l = 25 \ m$; Speed of jet plane $v = 3600 \ km/h = 3600 \times \frac{5}{18} \ m/s = 1000 \ m/s$.
Earth's magnetic field $B = 4 \times 10^{-4} \ T$; Angle of dip $\delta = 30^{\circ}$.
The motional electromotive force (emf) induced across the wings is given by $e = B_v \cdot l \cdot v$,where $B_v$ is the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field.
$B_v = B \sin(\delta) = 4 \times 10^{-4} \times \sin(30^{\circ}) = 4 \times 10^{-4} \times 0.5 = 2 \times 10^{-4} \ T$.
Substituting the values into the formula:
$e = (2 \times 10^{-4} \ T) \times (25 \ m) \times (1000 \ m/s)$.
$e = 2 \times 10^{-4} \times 25000 = 2 \times 2.5 = 5 \ V$.

Solution

(C) Given: Wingspan $l = 40 \text{ m}$,speed $v = 1080 \text{ km h}^{-1}$.
Convert speed to $SI$ units: $v = 1080 \times \frac{5}{18} \text{ m s}^{-1} = 300 \text{ m s}^{-1}$.
Vertical component of Earth's magnetic field $B = 1.75 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}$.
The motional emf induced across the wingspan is given by $E = B l v$.
Substituting the values: $E = (1.75 \times 10^{-5} \text{ T}) \times (40 \text{ m}) \times (300 \text{ m s}^{-1})$.
$E = 1.75 \times 10^{-5} \times 12000 = 1.75 \times 0.12 = 0.21 \text{ V}$.

The motional electromotive force (emf) induced across the wings is given by $e = B_v l v$, where $B_v$ is the vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field.
The vertical component $B_v$ is calculated as:
$B_v = B \sin \theta = 4 \times 10^{-4} \times \sin 30^{\circ} = 4 \times 10^{-4} \times 0.5 = 2 \times 10^{-4} \,T$.
Now, substituting the values into the emf formula:
$e = (2 \times 10^{-4} \,T) \times (20 \,m) \times (400 \,ms^{-1})$
$e = 16000 \times 10^{-4} \,V = 1.6 \,V$.

Area of the coil $A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.1)^2 = 0.01 \pi \, m^2$.
The magnetic flux changes as the coil rotates by $180^{\circ}$. The initial flux $\phi_i = B A \cos(0^{\circ}) = B A$ and the final flux $\phi_f = B A \cos(180^{\circ}) = -B A$.
The change in flux $\Delta \phi = \phi_f - \phi_i = -B A - B A = -2 B A$.
The magnitude of induced emf is $|E| = N \frac{|\Delta \phi|}{t} = N \frac{2 B A}{t}$.
Substituting the values: $3.8 \times 10^{-3} = N \frac{2 \times (3 \times 10^{-5}) \times (0.01 \pi)}{0.25}$.
$3.8 \times 10^{-3} = N \frac{6 \times 10^{-7} \times 3.14}{0.25}$.
$3.8 \times 10^{-3} = N \times 7.536 \times 10^{-6}$.

D
$Q$

Solution

(C) The magnetic force on a positive charge is given by the Lorentz force formula: $\vec{F} = q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})$.
According to the right-hand rule,for the induced emf to be developed across the ends of the wire,the velocity vector $\vec{v}$ must have a component perpendicular to both the magnetic field $\vec{B}$ and the length of the wire.
The magnetic field $\vec{B}$ is directed from $N$ to $S$. The wire is oriented vertically. If the wire moves along $P$ or $Q$ (vertically),the velocity vector $\vec{v}$ is parallel to the wire,so $\vec{v} \times \vec{B}$ will be perpendicular to the wire,causing charge separation across its ends.
However,if the wire moves towards $N$ or $S$,the velocity $\vec{v}$ is parallel to $\vec{B}$,making $\vec{v} \times \vec{B} = 0$,resulting in no induced emf.
Since the question asks for the direction of motion to induce an emf,and $P$ and $Q$ represent the vertical directions,moving the wire along $P$ or $Q$ will induce an emf. Given the options,$P$ is a valid direction for motion to induce an emf.

Solution

(B) Given:
Number of turns in the coil, $N = 30$.
Area of the coil, $A = 2.5 \, cm^2 = 2.5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$.
Total charge flowing through the coil, $Q = 7.5 \times 10^{-3} \, C$.
Total resistance of the circuit, $R = 0.3 \, \Omega$.
We know that the induced charge $Q$ is given by the formula:
$Q = \frac{\Delta \phi}{R} = \frac{N B A}{R}$
Rearranging the formula to solve for the magnetic field $B$:
$B = \frac{Q R}{N A}$
Substituting the given values:
$B = \frac{(7.5 \times 10^{-3} \, C) \times (0.3 \, \Omega)}{30 \times (2.5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2)}$
$B = \frac{2.25 \times 10^{-3}}{7.5 \times 10^{-3}}$
$B = 0.3 \, T$
Thus, the magnitude of the magnetic field is $0.3 \, T$.

(A) $1$. The wire falls freely under gravity from a height $h = 20 \ m$. The velocity $v$ of the wire just before hitting the ground is given by $v = \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 20} = \sqrt{400} = 20 \ m \ s^{-1}$.
$2$. The induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ in a conductor moving through a magnetic field is given by $\epsilon = Bvl$,where $B$ is the magnetic field component perpendicular to the velocity and length,$v$ is the velocity,and $l$ is the length of the wire.
$3$. Here,$B = 2 \times 10^{-5} \ T$,$v = 20 \ m \ s^{-1}$,and $l = 30 \ m$.
$4$. The induced $EMF$ is $\epsilon = (2 \times 10^{-5}) \times 20 \times 30 = 1200 \times 10^{-5} = 1.2 \times 10^{-2} \ V$.
$5$. The induced current $I$ is given by $I = \frac{\epsilon}{R}$,where $R = 40 \ \Omega$.
$6$. $I = \frac{1.2 \times 10^{-2}}{40} = 0.03 \times 10^{-2} \ A = 3 \times 10^{-4} \ A = 0.3 \ mA$.

$A$ conductor is moving in a magnetic field $B$ and the induced current is $I$. If the magnetic field is doubled,the induced current will
A
remain the same
B
be half
C
be doubled
D
be four times

Solution

(C) The induced electromotive force (emf) $\varepsilon$ in a conductor moving in a magnetic field is given by $\varepsilon = B l v \sin \theta$.
According to Ohm's law,the induced current $I$ is given by $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R} = \frac{B l v \sin \theta}{R}$,where $R$ is the resistance of the circuit.
From this expression,it is clear that $I \propto B$,assuming $l$,$v$,$\theta$,and $R$ remain constant.
If the magnetic field is doubled $(B^{\prime} = 2B)$,the new induced current $I^{\prime}$ will be $I^{\prime} = \frac{(2B) l v \sin \theta}{R} = 2 \times \left( \frac{B l v \sin \theta}{R} \right) = 2I$.
Therefore,the induced current will be doubled.

$A$ coil of mean area $500 \ cm^2$ and having $1000$ turns is held with its plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of $0.4 \ G$. If the coil is turned through $180^{\circ}$ in $\frac{1}{10} \ s$,then the average induced emf is $(1 \ G = 10^{-4} \ T)$. (in $V$)
A
$0.04$
B
$0.4$
C
$4$
D
$40$

Solution

(A) Given: Area $A = 500 \ cm^2 = 500 \times 10^{-4} \ m^2 = 0.05 \ m^2$,Number of turns $N = 1000$,Magnetic field $B = 0.4 \ G = 0.4 \times 10^{-4} \ T$,Time interval $\Delta t = 0.1 \ s$.
Initial flux $\phi_i = N B A \cos 0^{\circ} = N B A$.
Final flux $\phi_f = N B A \cos 180^{\circ} = -N B A$.
Change in flux $\Delta \phi = \phi_f - \phi_i = -2 N B A$.
Average induced emf $E = -\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t} = -\frac{-2 N B A}{\Delta t} = \frac{2 N B A}{\Delta t}$.
Substituting the values: $E = \frac{2 \times 1000 \times 0.4 \times 10^{-4} \times 0.05}{0.1} = \frac{0.004}{0.1} = 0.04 \ V$.

$A$ long solenoid with $2000$ turns per meter has a small loop of radius $3 \,cm$ placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current through the solenoid increases steadily from $1.5 \,A$ to $5.5 \,A$ in $\frac{\pi^2}{100} \,s$, the induced emf in the loop is (in $\,mV$)
A
$0.144$
B
$0.288$
C
$0.072$
D
$0.316$

Solution

(B) The magnetic field $B$ inside a long solenoid is given by $B = \mu_0 n i$, where $n$ is the number of turns per unit length.
Given: $n = 2000 \,m^{-1}$, $i_i = 1.5 \,A$, $i_f = 5.5 \,A$, $r = 3 \,cm = 0.03 \,m$, $\Delta t = \frac{\pi^2}{100} \,s$.
The change in magnetic field is $\Delta B = \mu_0 n (i_f - i_i) = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2000 \times (5.5 - 1.5) = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 2000 \times 4 = 32\pi \times 10^{-4} \,T$.
The area of the loop is $A = \pi r^2 = \pi (0.03)^2 = 9\pi \times 10^{-4} \,m^2$.
The induced emf $e$ is given by $e = \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t} = \frac{A \Delta B}{\Delta t} = \frac{(9\pi \times 10^{-4}) \times (32\pi \times 10^{-4})}{\pi^2 / 100} = \frac{288\pi^2 \times 10^{-8}}{\pi^2 / 100} = 288 \times 10^{-6} \,V = 0.288 \,mV$.
Thus, the correct option is $B$.

$A$ current carrying circular loop is perpendicular to a magnetic field of induction $10^{-4} \, T$. If the radius of the loop starts shrinking at a uniform rate of $2 \, mm/s$, then the emf induced in the loop at the instant, when its radius is $20 \, cm$ will be (in $\pi \, \mu V$)
A
$0.02$
B
$0.08$
C
$0.03$
D
$0.05$

Solution

(B) Given: Magnetic field $B = 10^{-4} \, T$, radius $r = 20 \, cm = 0.2 \, m$.
The rate of change of radius is $\frac{dr}{dt} = -2 \, mm/s = -2 \times 10^{-3} \, m/s$.
The magnetic flux $\phi$ through the loop is given by $\phi = B \cdot A = B \cdot \pi r^2$.
According to Faraday's law, the induced emf $\varepsilon$ is $\varepsilon = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}$.
Substituting the expression for $\phi$: $\varepsilon = -\frac{d}{dt}(B \cdot \pi r^2) = -B \pi \cdot 2r \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$.
Substituting the values: $\varepsilon = -(10^{-4}) \cdot \pi \cdot 2 \cdot (0.2) \cdot (-2 \times 10^{-3})$.
$\varepsilon = 10^{-4} \cdot \pi \cdot 0.4 \cdot 2 \times 10^{-3} = 0.8 \pi \times 10^{-7} \, V$.
Converting to microvolts: $\varepsilon = 0.08 \pi \times 10^{-6} \, V = 0.08 \pi \, \mu V$.

$A$ rectangular wire loop of sides $5 \text{ cm}$ and $3 \text{ cm}$ with a small cut is moving away from an infinitely long straight wire carrying a current of $30 \text{ A}$ with a velocity of $20 \text{ ms}^{-1}$ as shown in the figure. The emf induced across the cut is (in $\mu V$)
Question diagram

B

C
$180$
D
$150$

Solution

(C) The magnetic field $B$ at a distance $r$ from an infinitely long straight wire carrying current $I$ is given by $B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}$.
As the loop moves,the motional emf is induced in the two vertical sides of the loop parallel to the wire.
The side at distance $r_1 = 2 \text{ cm} = 0.02 \text{ m}$ has an induced emf $\varepsilon_1 = B_1 l v = \left( \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r_1} \right) l v$.
The side at distance $r_2 = 2 \text{ cm} + 3 \text{ cm} = 5 \text{ cm} = 0.05 \text{ m}$ has an induced emf $\varepsilon_2 = B_2 l v = \left( \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r_2} \right) l v$.
The net emf induced across the cut is $\varepsilon = \varepsilon_1 - \varepsilon_2 = \frac{\mu_0 I l v}{2 \pi} \left( \frac{1}{r_1} - \frac{1}{r_2} \right)$.
Given: $I = 30 \text{ A}$,$l = 5 \text{ cm} = 0.05 \text{ m}$,$v = 20 \text{ ms}^{-1}$,$r_1 = 0.02 \text{ m}$,$r_2 = 0.05 \text{ m}$,$\mu_0 = 4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T m/A}$.
Substituting the values:
$\varepsilon = \frac{(4 \pi \times 10^{-7}) \times 30 \times 0.05 \times 20}{2 \pi} \left( \frac{1}{0.02} - \frac{1}{0.05} \right)$
$\varepsilon = (2 \times 10^{-7}) \times 30 \times 1 = 60 \times 10^{-7} \times (50 - 20) = 60 \times 10^{-7} \times 30 = 1800 \times 10^{-7} = 1.8 \times 10^{-4} \text{ V} = 180 \mu V$.
