 =B.A=BAcosθ

=Boπa2coswt

But according to faraday’s law e= Bo π a 2 w s i n w t

So the current will be I=B0 π a 2 w s i n w t R

For t= π 2 w

I= B o π a 2 w R along j

Sinwt= sin(w π 2 w ) = sin π 2 =1

T= π w , I= B ( π a 2 ) w R

Sinwt=sinw π w  = sin π = 0

T= 3 π 2 w

I= B o π a 2 w R

So it become sin 3 π 2 w =-1

The magnetic flux linked with the surface can considered as the number of magnetic field lines passing through the surface. So, let dφ = BA represents magnetic lines in an area to. By the concept of continuity of lines cannot end or start in space, therefore the number of lines passing through surface S1 must be the same as the number of lines passing through the surface S2.Therefore, in both the cases we gets the same answer for flux.

A: 

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

The back emf in solenoid force in solenoid is U a maximum rate of change of current . so maximum back emf will be obtained between 5s

Since the back emf at t = 3s also the rate of change of current at t= 3s, s= slope of OA from t=0s to t= 5s=1/5 A/sec

So we have if u= L1/5 (for t= 3s, dI/dt=1/5) (L is a constant). Applying e=-LdI/dt

For 5s

At t= 7s, u1=-3e

For 10s

For t>30s, u2=0

Thus back emf at t=7s,15s and 40s are -3e, e/2 and 0 respectively.

Commonly asked questions
Q:  

A magnetic field B = B0sin (ωt)k covers a large region where a wire AB slides smoothly over two parallel conductors separated by a distance d (figure). The wires are in the x-y plane. The wire AB (of length d) has resistance R and the parallel wires have negligible resistance. If AB is moving with velocity v, what is the current in the circuit. What is the force needed to keep the wire moving at constant velocity?

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Let us assume that parallel wires at are y=0 i.e along x-axis and y=d.at t=0, AB has x=0 i.e along y-axis and moves with a velocity v

Motional emf across AB is = (B0sinwt)vd (-j)

Emf due to change in field along OBAC = -B0wcoswt x (t)d

Total emf in the circuit = emf due to change in field (along OBAC)+ the motional emf across AB= - B0d {wx coswt+v sinwt}

Electric current in clockwise direction is given by =   B 0 d R   (wxcoswt+vsinwt)

The force acting on the conductor is given by F= iLbsin90=iLb

Substituting the values

F=   B 0 d R   (wx coswt+v sinwt) × d × B0sinwt

Let us assume that the parallel wires at are y= 0, i.e., along x-axis and y= l. At t= 0, XY has x = 0 i.e., along y-axis.

(i) Let the wire be at x x = (t) at time t.

The magnetic flux linked with the loop is given by

φ = B.A= Bacos0= BA

magnetic flux = B(t)(lx(t))

total emf = emf due to change in field along XYAC+ the motional emf across XY

E= - d d t  = - d B ( t ) d t lx(t)- B(t)lv(t)

Electric current in clockwise direction is I= E/r

So force is F= ilBsin90=ilB

Force = I B ( t ) R [- d B t d t I x t - B ( t ) I v ( t ) ]i

Applying newton 2nd law

m d 2 x d t 2 = I 2 B t d B R d t x ( t ) - I 2 B 2 t d x R d t

(ii) d B d t =0

Substituting in eqn 1

d 2 x d t 2 + I 2 B 2 t d x m R d t =0

d v d t + I 2 B 2 v m R =o

V= Aexp ( I 2 B 2 v m R )=0

(iii) p= I2R= I 2 B 2 v 2 R R 2 = B 2 I 2 R u 0 2 exp(-2I2B2tlmR)

This proves decrease in kinetic energy.

Q:  

A magnetic field B is confined to a region r ≤ a and points out of the paper (the z-axis), r = 0 being the centre of the circular region. A charged ring (charge = Q) of radius b, b> a and mass m lies in the x-y plane with its centre at the origin. The ring is free to rotate and is at rest.

This is a long answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Since, the magnetic field is brought to zero in time? t, the magnetic flux linked with the ring also reduces from maximum to zero. This, in turn, induces an emf in ring by the

phenomenon of EMI. The induces emf causes the electric field E generation around the

ring.

The induced emf= electric field E (2 πb) (Because V =E d  ) . (i)

By Faraday'slaw of EMI

The induced emf= rate of change of magnetic flux

=rate of change of magnetic field × area= B π a 2 d t ……. (ii)

From (i) and (ii)

2 π b E =emf= B π a 2 d t

Since, the charged ring experienced a electric force= QE

This force try to rotate the coil, and the torque is given by

Torque =  b (Force)

= Qeb= Q { B π a 2 2 π b d t }b

= Q B π a 2 2 d t

dL= torque (dt)= Q B a 2 2

so final momentum is = mb2w= QBa2/2

w= QBa2/2mb2

The component of magnetic field perpendicular the plane = Bcosθ

But when there is a motional emf then it is e = Blv=vBcosθd

And current Is I= v B c o s θ d R but when discuss about force F= llB

And component of force which only act is fcosθ

So force is IBd(cosθ) = v B c o s θ d R  where v=dx/dt

Also component of weight is mg cosθ

So by applying newton second law of motion

m d 2 x d t 2 = m g s i n θ - B c o s θ d R d x d t × B d c o s θ

d v d t = g s i n θ - B 2 d 2 m R ( c o s θ ) 2 v

d v d t + B 2 d 2 m R ( c o s θ ) 2 v = g s i n θ

A: 

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

When the switch is thrown from the off position (open circuit) to the on position (closed circuit), then neither B, nor A nor the angle between B and A change. Thus, no change in magnetic flux linked with coil occur, hence no electromotive force is produced and consequently no current will flow in the circuit.

A: 

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

When the coil is stretched so that there are gaps between successive elements of the spiral coil i.e., the wires are pulled apart which lead to the flux leak through the gaps.

According to Lenz's law, the emf produced must oppose this decrease, which can be done by an increase in current. So, the current will increase.

When the iron core is inserted in the current carrying solenoid, the magnetic field increase due to the magnetisation of iron core and consequently the flux increases.

According to Lenz's law, the emf produced must oppose this increase in flux, which can be done by making decrease in current. So, the current will decrease.

A: 

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

When the current is switched on, magnetic flux is linked through the ring. Thus, increase in flux takes place. According to Lenz's law, this increase in flux will be opposed and it can happen if the ring moves away from the solenoid.

This happen because the flux increases will cause a counter clockwise current (as seen from the top in the ring in figure.) i.e., opposite direction to that in the solenoid. This makes the same sense of flow of current in the ring (when viewed from the bottom of the ring) and solenoid forming same magnetic pole in front of each other. Hence, they will repel each other and the ring will move upward.

Q:  

Consider a metallic pipe with ah inner radius of 1 cm. If a cylindrical bar magnet of radius 0.8 cm is dropped through the pipe, it takes more time to come down than it takes for a similar un-magnetised cylindrical iron bar dropped through the metallic pipe. Explain.

A: 

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

When cylindrical bar magnet of radius 0.8 cm is dropped through the metallic pipe with an inner radius of 1 cm, flux linked with the cylinder changes and consequently eddy currents are produced in the metallic pipe. According to Lenz's law, these currents will oppose the (cause) motion of the magnet.

Therefore, magnet's downward acceleration will be less than the acceleration due to gravity g. On the other hand, an non magnetised iron bar will not produce eddy currents and will fall with an acceleration due to gravity g.

Thus, the magnet will take more time to come down than it takes for a similar unmagnetized Cylindrical iron bar dropped through the metallic pipe.

Q:  

Given below two statements : One is labeled as Assertion (A) and other is labeled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A) : Non-polar materials do not have any permanent dipole moment.

Reason (R) : When a non-polar material is placed in an electric field, the centre of the positive charge distribution of it’s individual atom or molecule coincides with the centre of the negativne charge distribution .

In the light of above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

A: 

In non-polar molecules, centre of +ve charge coincides with centre of –ve charge, Hence, net dipole moment becomes zero.

When non-polar material is placed in external field, centre of charge does not coincide, hence give non-zero moment.
